Joy and sadness are experienced by people in all cultures around the world, but how can wetell when other people are happy or despondent? It turns out that the expression of manyemotions may be universal. Smiling is apparently a universal sign of friendliness andapproval. Baring the teeth in a hostile way, as noted by Charles Darwin in the nineteenthcentury, may be a universal sign of anger. As the originator of the theory of evolution, Darwinbelieved that the universal recognition of facial expressions would have survival value. Forexample, facial expressions could signal the approach of enemies (or friends) in the absenceof language.
Most investigators concur that certain facial expressions suggest the same emotions in allpeople. Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facialexpressions. In classic research Paul Ekman took photographs of people exhibiting theemotions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. He then asked people around theworld to indicate what emotions were being depicted in them. Those queried ranged fromEuropean college students to members of the Fore, a tribe that dwells in the New Guineahighlands. All groups, including the Fore, who had almost no contact with Western culture,agreed on the portrayed emotions. The Fore also displayed familiar facial expressions whenasked how they would respond if they were the characters in stories that called for basicemotional responses. Ekman and his colleagues more recently obtained similar results in astudy of ten cultures in which participants were permitted to report that multiple emotionswere shown by facial expressions. T
he participants generally agreed on which two emotions were being shown and which emotionwas more intense.
Psychological researchers generally recognize that facial expressions reflect emotional states.In fact, various emotional states give rise to certain patterns of electrical activity in the facialmuscles and in the brain. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the causalrelationship between emotions and facial expressions can also work in the opposite direction.According to this hypothesis, signals from the facial muscles ("feedback) are sent back toemotion centers of the brain, and so a person's facial expression can influence that person'semotional state. Consider Darwin's words: "The free expression by outward signs of anemotion intensifies it. On the other hand, the repression, as far as possible, of all outwardsigns softens our emotions." Can smiling give rise to feelings of good will, for example, andfrowning to anger?
Psychological research has given rise to some interesting findings concerning the facial-feedbackhypothesis. Causing participants in experiments to smile, for example, leads them to reportmore positive feelings and to rate cartoons (humorous drawings of people or situations) asbeing more humorous. When they are caused to frown, they rate cartoons as being moreaggressive.
What are the possible links between facial expressions and emotion? One link is arousal, whichis the level of activity or preparedness for activity in an organism. Intense contraction of facialmuscles, such as those used in signifying fear, heightens arousal. Self-perception ofheightened arousal then leads to heightened emotional activity. Other links may involvechanges in brain temperature and the release of neurotransmitters (substances that transmitnerve impulses.) The contraction of facial muscles both influences the internal emotionalstate and reflects it. Ekman has found that the so-called Duchenne smile, which is characterizedby ''crow’s feet" wrinkles around the eyes and a subtle drop in the eye cover fold so that theskin above the eye moves down slightly toward the eyeball, can lead to pleasant feelings.
Ekman’s observation may be relevant to the British expression “keep a stiff upper lip” as arecommendation for handling stress. It might be that a “stiff” lip suppresses emotionalresponse -- as long as the lip is not quivering with fear or tension. But when the emotion thatleads to stiffening the lip is more intense, and involves strong muscle tension, facial feedbackmay heighten emotional response.
Paragraph 1：Joy and sadness are experienced by people in all cultures around the world, buthow can we tell when other people are happy or despondent? It turns out that the expressionof many emotions may be universal. Smiling is apparently a universal sign of friendliness andapproval. Baring the teeth in a hostile way, as noted by Charles Darwin in the nineteenthcentury, may be a universal sign of anger. As the originator of the theory of evolution, Darwinbelieved that the universal recognition of facial expressions would have survival value. Forexample, facial expressions could signal the approach of enemies (or friends) in the absenceof language.

Paragraph 3: Psychological researchers generally recognize that facial expressions reflectemotional states. In fact, various emotional states give rise to certain patterns of electricalactivity in the facial muscles and in the brain. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however,that the causal relationship between emotions and facial expressions can also work in theopposite direction. According to this hypothesis, signals from the facial muscles ("feedback) aresent back to emotion centers of the brain, and so a person's facial expression can influence thatperson's emotional state.

参考谜底：
1. ○ 2
This is a Vocabulary question. The word being tested is despondent. It is highlighted in thepassage. The correct answer is choice 2, "unhappy." The sentence in which the highlightedword appears uses despondent as a contrast to happy. Since unhappy is the opposite ofhappy, it provides the fullest possible contrast and is equivalent to the contrast between Joyand sadness at the beginning of the sentence.
2. ○ 3
This is a Rhetorical Purpose question. It is asking you why the author mentions "baring theteeth in a hostile way" in the passage. This phrase is highlighted in the passage. The correctanswer is choice 3; baring the teeth is an example of a facial expression whose meaning iswidely understood. The central theme of paragraph 1 of the passage is facial expressions thatare universal. The author provides various examples of such expressions, and baring the teethis mentioned as a universal sign of anger. The other choices are all mentioned in the passage,but not in conjunction with baring the teeth, so they are all incorrect.
3. ○ 2
This is a Vocabulary question. The word being tested is concur. It is highlighted in the passage.The correct answer is choice 2, "agree." Concur means to agree, so if investigators concurabout the meaning of certain facial expressions, they agree on their meaning.
4. ○ 3
This is a Reference question. The word being tested is them, and it is highlighted in thepassage. This is a simple pronoun-referent item. The word them refers to the photographsthat Paul Eckman showed to people from diverse cultures, so the correct answer is choice 3, "photographs."
5. ○ 3
This is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found inparagraph 2. The correct answer is choice 3, which states that the Fore people of New Zealandknew very little about Western culture. The paragraph explicitly says that the Fore had almostno contact with Western culture. None of the other three choices is mentioned in connectionwith the Fore, so none of them is correct.
6. ○ 3
This is a Sentence Simplification question. As with all of these items, a single sentence in thepassage is highlighted:
The Fore also displayed familiar facial expressions when asked how they would respond if theywere the characters in stories that called for basic emotional responses.
The correct answer is choice 3. It contains all of the essential ideas in the highlighted sentencewithout changing the meaning. This choice says that the Fore "exhibited the same relationshipof facial and basic emotions that is seen in Western culture when they acted out stories." Thesentence that precedes the highlighted sentence states that in a survey, the Fore agreed withWesterners on how various emotions are portrayed. Then the highlighted sentence says that ina different situation (story-telling) the Fores' expressions were also familiar; that is, theseexpressions were the same as those exhibited by Westerners in this situation. Choices 1 and 2are incorrect because each one changes the highlighted sentence into a statement that is nottrue. Choice 4 is incorrect because it says that the Fore were familiar with the facial expressionsof characters in stories. The highlighted sentence says that it was the investigators who werefamiliar with the Fores' expressions. This is a change in meaning, so i
t is incorrect.
7. ○ 1
This is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found in thepassage. The correct answer is choice 1, emotions that are not expressed become lessintense. This is correct based on the direct quotation of Darwin in paragraph 3. In thatquotation, Darwin says that emotions that are freely expressed become more intense, while"on the other hand those that are not freely expressed are "softened," meaning that theybecome less intense. Choices 2, 3, and 4 are all incorrect because there is nothing in thepassage that indicates Darwin ever believed these things about expressing emotions. Some orall of them may actually be true, but there is nothing in this passage that supports them.
8. ○ 1
This is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found in thepassage. You can see that the phrase "The facial-feedback hypothesis" is highlighted where itfirst appears in the passage in paragraph 3. The correct answer is choice 1, research supportingthis hypothesis came from studying experiments of the reactions of people to cartoons. Thisidea is found in paragraph 4, which uses these experiments as an example of how facialfeedback works. Choice 3, the release of neurotransmitters, is mentioned in paragraph 5 but,not in connection with the facial-feedback hypothesis, so it is incorrect. Choices 2 and 4 arenot explicitly mentioned at all in the passage.
9. ○ 1
This is a Vocabulary question. The word being tested is rate, and it is highlighted in thepassage. The correct answer is choice 1, "judge." Rate in this context means "to judge."
10. ○ 4
This is a Vocabulary question. The word being tested is relevant, and it is highlighted in thepassage. The correct answer is choice 4, "applicable. "Relevant means that Ekman'sobservation applies ("is applicable") to an expression.
11. ○ 4
This is a Factual Information question asking for specific information that can be found in thepassage. The correct answer is choice 4; stiffening the upper lip may either heighten or reduceemotional response. This is stated explicitly in paragraph 6 of the passage as a possibleparadox in the relationship between facial expressions and emotions.
Choice 1 is incorrect because paragraph 6 contradicts it.
Choice 2 is incorrect because the passage mentions only the fear and tension of a persontrying to keep a stiff upper lip, not any fear or tension that expression may cause in others.
Choice 3 is incorrect because there is no suggestion anywhere in the passage that stiffening theupper lip may damage lip muscles.
12. ○3
This is an Insert Text question. You can see the four black squares in paragraph 2 thatrepresent the possible answer choices here.
Most investigators concur that certain facial expressions suggest the same emotions in allpeople. Moreover, people in diverse cultures recognize the emotions manifested by the facialexpressions. II In classic research Paul Ekman took photographs of people exhibiting theemotions of anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. . He then asked people around theworld to indicate what emotions were being depicted in them. Those queried ranged fromEuropean college students to members of the Fore, a tribe that dwells in the New Guineahighlands. All groups, including the Fore, who had almost no contact with Western culture,agreed on the portrayed emotions. The Fore also displayed familiar facial expressions whenasked how they would respond if they were the characters in stories that called for basicemotional responses. Ekman and his colleagues more recently obtained similar results in astudy of ten cultures in which participants were permitted to report that multiple emotionswere shown by facial expressio
ns. The participants generally agreed on which two emotions were being shown and whichemotion was more intense.
The sentence provided, "This universality in the recognition of emotions was demonstratedby using rather simple methods," is best inserted at square 3. Square 3 is correct because theinserted sentence begins with the phrase "This universality." The universality being referredto is the fact, stated in the second sentence, that "people in diverse cultures recognize theemotions manifested by the facial expressions."
None of the other answer choices follows a sentence that contains a universal statement.Sentence 1 mentions that "Most investigators concur," which means that some do not.Therefore this is not a universal statement. Squares 2 and 4 are incorrect because there isnothing in either sentence to which "This universality" could refer.
13. ○2 4 6
This is a Prose Summary question. It is completed correctly below. The correct choices are 2, 4,and 6. Choices 1, 3, and 5 are therefore incorrect.
在天下规模内各类差别的文明里，人们都是要履历欢喜和伤心的，但咱们怎样辨别其余人是欢快仍是懊丧呢?现实上，良多感情的抒发能够是通用的。比方，浅笑明显表现友爱和附和。查尔斯达尔文是退化论的开创人，他在19世纪曾指出，怀有敌意地显露牙齿表现的是愤慨的感情，人类劈脸部心情的认知具备必然的保存值。比方，脸部心情能够以非说话的体例帮你判定劈面而来的是敌仍是友。
良多查询拜访得出了一样的论断，即人类的某些脸部心情抒发的寄义是通用的。另外，差别文明背景的人能够经由过程脸部心情的辨认来判定对方的感情。在一个典范的研讨名目中，保罗埃克曼拍下了一组人的照片，别离表现愤慨、讨厌、惊骇、幸运、伤心。而后，他支配来自天下各地的人们辨认照片中所抒发的感情。这些人包含欧洲大先生，栖身在新几内亚洼地的部落等。包含几近从未打仗过东方文明的人在内的一切人得出了分歧的谜底。另外，问卷中还给出了一些人们熟习的根基心情，请求答卷者回覆若是你是故事中的人物你会作出哪一种根基心情?埃克曼和他的共事们从近期的一项统计中得出了不异的论断，他们对来自10个差别文明背景的到场者们停止了查询拜访，到场者能够经由过程多种脸部心情转达庞杂的感情。画面抒发了哪两种感情?此中那张更严厉?谜底根基分歧。
研讨心思学的学者们凡是以为，脸部心情能够反映人们心里的感情状况。现实上，各类感情状况的动摇城市使得脸部肌肉和大脑的电波勾当增添。可是，脸部回馈假说论者们却对峙，脸部心情和感情之间的因果干系也能够是反的。他们以为，脸部肌肉承载的旌旗灯号会被传至大脑的节制感情的部位中，是以人类脸部心情会影响他们的感情。试想达尔文的话：“自在的感情抒发体例会增强心中的感情。相反，若是按捺这类抒发则会减弱心中的感情。” 比方，浅笑能够让你心情大好吗?皱眉会让你变得愤慨吗?
对于脸部回馈假说，心思学研讨供给了一些滑稽的发明。比方，让到场尝试的人们浅笑，他们会表现的加倍主动，他们评估图片绝对而言加倍滑稽诙谐。当他们皱眉头时，则变得加不可一世。
脸部心情和心里感情之间存在甚么样能够的接洽呢?起首，是安慰。这是一个无机体勾当的筹办阶段。脸部肌肉的严重缩短会加重这类安慰，如那些表现得极端的惊骇肌肉缩短。增强安慰的自我感知会加重心里各类感情。其次，他们的接洽能够会触及到大脑温度变更和神经递质的开释(通报神经感动的物资)。脸部肌肉的缩短反映并影响心里感情状况。埃克曼发明，所谓的杜兴浅笑，便是指眼睛四周的鱼尾纹和眼帘的轻轻下垂，激发眼睛外表的皮肤轻细朝着眼球标的目的降落，从而引发兴奋的感受。
埃克曼的概念能够与英国习语“坚持咬紧牙关”有关，人们能够用过紧咬牙关减缓本身压力。很有能够是由于紧咬牙关按捺了悲观感情，只需嘴唇没严重或惊骇得颤栗。可是，当心里感情致使生硬的嘴唇加倍严重时，脸部心情强无力的缩短很有能够会加重心里的感情反映。
