          People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial
    expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
          Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀地) across
    a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
          "We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,"
    Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes
    and neglect (忽略) the mouth."
          According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is
    more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally
    recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
          The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the
    eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive
    faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared
    how 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 suggest 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.

    1. The discovery shows that Westerners _____.
    [     ]
    A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
    B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
    C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
    D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
    2. What were the people asked to do in the study?
    [     ]
    A. To make a face at each other.
    B. To get their faces impressive.
    C. To classify some face pictures.
    D. To observe the researchers' faces.
    3. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 6 refer to?
    [     ]
    A. The participants in the study.
    B. The researchers of the study.
    C. The errors made during the study.
    D. The data collected from the study.
    4. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to _____.
    [     ]
    A. do translation more successfully
    B. study the mouth more frequently
    C. examine the eyes more attentively
    D. read facial expressions more correctly
    5. What can be the best title for the passage?
    [     ]
    A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul
    B. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
    C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
    D. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding

          Why play games? Because they are fun, and a 1ot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next
    move...acting as a team member...these are all "game" ideas that you will come across throughout your life.
          Think about some off the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek.
    Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas
    that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking
    turns and cooperating (合作). 
          Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for
    work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which
    sharpens the hand-eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
          Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring
    athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave
    flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries
    experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.
          Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all
    continents play it-some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has
    discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not
    only soccer balls but also a promising future.
           Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and
    whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.
    1. Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____.
    [     ]
    A. be a team leader
    B. obey the basic rules
    C. act as a grown-up
    D. predict possible danger
    2. The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can _____.
    [     ]
    A. describe life in an exciting way
    B. turn real-life experiences into a play
    C. make learning life skills more interesting
    D. change people's views of sporting events
    3. According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging?
    [     ]
    A. It inspires people's deep love for the country.
    B. It proves the exceptional skills of the winners.
    C. It helps the country out of natural disasters.
    D. It earns the winners fame and fortune.
    4. Iribarne's goal of forming the foundation is to _____.
    [     ]
    A. bring fun to poor kids
    B. provide soccer balls for children
    C. give poor kids a chance for a better life
    D. appeal to soccer players to help poor kids
    5. What can be inferred from the passage?
    [     ]
    A. Games benefit people all their lives.
    B. Sports can get all athletes together.
    C. People are advised to play games for  fun.
    D. Sports increase a country's competitiveness.

          [1]One of many important things for the whole family to do is to have dinner together. Researchers
    began reporting the benefits of family dinner about a decade ago, focusing mainly on how it affects children.
    Studies show that those families who eat dinner at least 3 or 4 times a week together, benefit in many ways.
          [2]Eating together helps families achieve open communication and build stronger and healthier relationships. Children have better grades at school and are better adjusted as teens and adults, and the entire family enjoys
    healthier nutrition. For many families, eating dinner together proves to be a good and effective way to reduce
    the risk of youth rates of addiction, and helps to raise healthier children. It is also a great time to share the
    events of the day, discuss news and ideas or just be together and enjoy each other's company.
          [3]During dinner time parents have better opportunity to show that they are the prior to their children.
    Sitting at the same table and sharing meals is where and when parents can find out more about their children's
    school performance, daily activities and attitudes toward life. When parents have all this information they can
    better direct their kids toward positive things in life. They also have better chance to reduce the possibility that
    children will get involved with alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.

          [4]However, family researchers say that the benefits of family dinner by no means can be considered as
    automatic. Parents can sit down to dinner with their kids every day and achieve nothing. __________________
