【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A recent report published online explains an uncommon phenomenon why people from East Asia tend to have more trouble than those from Europe in identifying facial expressions.

Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均勻地) 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 Westerners did. “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. consider facial expressions universally reliable

B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways

D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions

【2】 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.

【3】 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

【4】 What can be the best title for the passage?

A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul.

B. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding.

C. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills.

D. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions.

In life people make many decisions, some of what are so important that they affect us greatly.

My latest decision is made when I entered Senior 3 in Miss Zhang's class. Since I was not good in English, Miss Zhang asked me to listen attentive in class and put down some important notes. Therefore, I was never a good listener. I went on in my own way, ignore her suggestions completely until Miss Zhang had talk with me. He made me realize the importance of note-taking.

From this experience, I have realized a good decision benefits from people. We should learn to take others’ advices and do the right things.

【題目】A Bite of China is a serious documentary providing a unique view of Chinese as well as the relations between people and food and between people and society from the perspective of food.

The touching documentary reminds some people of their mother, and makes some realize that every grain comes from hard work. Some people see patriotism (愛國主義) in the documentary, and some consider it a great cultural export.

“It is not empty propaganda (宣傳) about China’s splendid food culture. Instead, it shows the techniques used in making food and their production process as well as the lives of ordinary people, thus striking a chord (共鳴) with the audience, ”an Internet user said. The success of the documentary should be attributed to sincerity and reality.

It is said sarcastically that Americans like to shoot sci-fi films because they have no history, while Chinese like to shoot time-travel dramas to the past because they have no future. It has set people thinking. Works that are created behind closed doors and fail to reflect reality or that only focus on the luxury lives of a few people and ignore ordinary people’s desire for enough food and clothing will not touch people’s hearts, and they will be no use whether traveling to the past or the future.

A Bite of China shows that a commercial documentary promoting patriotism can be full of touching details, that the emotions of ordinary Chinese people should be exhibited even in publicizing China overseas, and that even a completely commercial program can achieve both artistic and commercial success.

“We made this documentary with our respect and love for food, ”said director Chen Xiaoqing. Being sincere is the most important thing for artists because they cannot move others unless they themselves are first moved, and cannot convince others unless they themselves are first convinced. Sincerity is the “secret” for making this documentary so popular, and every cultural creator should learn from its success.

【1】What is not the feature of A Bite of China from Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A. Showing relations between people and food and between people and society.

B. Making people realize every grain comes from hard work.

C. Not only providing delicious food but also making people see patriotism.

D. Touching many mothers who can do some cooking.

【2】How was Paragraph 4 written?

A. Giving an example. B. Comparing.

C. Narrating. D. Introducing.

【3】What’s the secret for making this documentary so popular and successful?

A. Beauty. B. Delicious taste.

C. Interest. D. Sincerity.

【4】What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Why is A Bite of China so popular?

B. Why is A Bite of China made into a film?

C. The process of making A Bite of China.

D. A Bite of China witnesses patriotism.
