You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions . This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them . Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others . But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar ? Much research on emotional expression has centered on such questions . According to Paul Ekman , the leading researcher in this area , people speak and understand substantially the same facial language . Studies by Ekmans group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species . Smiles , for example , signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far flung places as Argentina,Japan,Spain,Hungary,Poland ,Sumatra, the United States , Vietnam , the jungles of New Guinea and the Eskimo villages north of the Artic Circle . Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions : sadness , fear , anger , disgust

, contempt , happiness , and surprise . There are , however , huge diifferences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays the so called display rules . In many Asian cultures , for example , children are taught to control emotional responses especially negative ones while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly . Regardless of culture , however, emotions usually show themselves , to some degree , in peoples behavior . From their first days of life , babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings . The ability to read facial expressions develops early , too . Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions , and by age five they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on peoples faces . This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions . Moreover , as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago , some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries . Cross cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures . For example ,what emotion do you suppose might indicate disgust , while in China it can signify surprise . Likewise , a grin on an American face may indicate joy , while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment . Clearly , culture influences emotional expression .

A. are not popular everywhere B. have different meanings in different cultures C. are universal expressions across cultures D. do not convey the same emotions in various cultures Cu 47 : The biggest difference lies in . .

A. Ways to control emotional expressions B. A review of researcher on emotional expressions C. Human habit of displaying emotions D. Cultural universals in emotional expression Cu 50: Young children . A. make amazing progress in controlling theit emotions B. take time to control their facial expressions C. spend a long time learning to read others emotions D. are sensitive towards otherss emotions Cu 51 : Unlike American children , Asian children are encouraged to . . A. display their emotions openly B. control their emotions C. conceal their positive emotions D. change their behaviour Cu 52 : Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question wheather .

GRANT TOUR OF AN AMERICAN HOME Of all the aspirations which make up the American Dream , perhaps the most prominent is to own ones own home.American are very proud of their homes and spend a great deal of time maintaining their houses and keeping the property in good condition . A mans home is often called his castle , and the hours spent keeping his fortress safe and secure become one of his greatest pleasures . If a home is in an especially fashionable neighborhood , the owners may consult an interior director to give the home a certain coordinated appearance . If there is a large back yard , great care may be spent in having it properly landscaped with exotic trees , shrubs and plants . It is almost a certainty that should you be the first visitor to an American home , you will be taken on a grand tour of the premises . The owner will take great pride in showing to you the place he calls home . Every closet , every cabinnet and closed door will be opened so that you can actually see the extent and value of his home . You will even be taken into the fathers den and the mothers sewing room . These are special rooms for the respective man and woman of the house to insure their privacy . They may be off- limits to the rest of the family but , for the visitor they are open to scrutiny and inspection . It is , of course , considered polite on the tour to comment favorably on each room picking out its most salient , important feature , such as the special view from the window , the vaulted ceiling in the foyer or the exotic choice of wallpaper in the bathroom . The finished basement is a special cause for pride for the family with its exercise room , video games , carpenter shop and launderette . In most homes it is here that the family entertains itself in the evening while the rest of the house becomes more of a showcase . On your tour you may be reminded of the hours the owners had spent fixing up the house so it would be nice for the kids to bring over their friends. You may even sense a feeling of competition in knowing that they have not only kept up with the Jones but have far surpassed them . The tour will terminate after an hour or so somewhere on the back lawn next to the two- car air conditioned garage where you may be treated to a snack and light refreshment . Showing off ones home is more than an exercise in vanity . It is a tribute to ones accomplishments . It is a way of saying that a man has been a good provider for his family and that he has realized one of his dreams .
