Every night, my mother would come to my room, lean down and push my long hair

too rough!” She didn't say anything in 34 . But never again did my mother close out my day with that 35 expression of her love.

Time after time, with the 36 years, my thoughts returned to that night. I'm not

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial

accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial

expressions, Jack said. Our data suggests that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.

In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when

it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

I'd like to share a little story with you about something that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he attempted to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it. I didn't like him anymore.

I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met in an instant an angry look and a few harsh(尖刻的)words. When the door was slammed(砰地关上)in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog bit my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back

- 5 -

was that same feeling of betrayal.

Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learned that my friend's wife had just left him. We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.

If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.

56. The incident that happened when the author was four______.

A. hurt the author's feeling deeply

B. has puzzled the author ever since

C. left a deep impression on the author

D. made the author dislike dogs

57. What made the author think about the story of about 20 years ago?

A. His friend's attitude.

B. The photo of the dog.

C. His father's wound.

D. His friend's suffering.

58. The author's friend said harsh words to the author because______.

A. he was bad-tempered

B. he was suffering the pain of losing his wife

C. he was bothered by an unexpected visit

D. they once quarreled and he couldn't forgive the author

59. What conclusion did the author get from the two stories?

A. Misunderstanding should be removed in time.

B. Sometimes one will be hurt without any reason.

C. Many people think more of themselves and less of others.

D. Many factors will affect one's behavior.

60. What's the author's advice to us?

A. Help those in need.

B. Look before you leap.

C. Learn to understand others.

D. Tolerance is a kind of virtue.

C

The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that

four out of five young people now get on well with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.

An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it had ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today's young people seem to be about their families,” said one number of the research team. “They're expected to be rebellious and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds: they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There's more negotiation

- 6 -

and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don't want to rock the boat.”

So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of

30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-year-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when I'm going out clubbing. As long as they know what I'm doing, they're fine with me.” Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. “Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I'd done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”

Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over. ”
