In Your Face

Why is this man so angry?We don't know the reason,but we can see the emotion in his face.What-
ever culture you come from,you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago,psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California,San Francisco,became
interested in how people's faces show their feelings.He took photographs of Americans expressing various
emotions.Then he showed them to the Fore people,who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore
had never seen foreign faces,but they easily understood Americans' expressions of anger,happiness,sad-
ness,disgust,fear,and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse.He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans,and
the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people's faces.
Ekman's research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same
everywhere.He did more research in Japan,Brazil,and Argentina,and got the same results.
According to Ekman,these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains.They
developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us.Some emotional triggers are universal as
well.When something suddenly comes into sight,people feel fear,because it might be dangerous.But most
emotional triggers are learned.For example,two people might smell newly cut grass.One person spent won-
derful summers in the country as a child,so the smell makes him happy.The other person remembers work-
ing very hard on a farm and being hungry,so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to
change it."Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain,"says Ekman.But we can learn to manage our
emotions better. For instance,we can be more aware of things that make us angry,and we can think before
we react.
There are many differences between cultures,in their languages and customs.But a smile is exactly the
same everywhere.

选项 Ekman thinks that some basic emotions are the same everywhere.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned

答案A

解析文章中Paul Ekman为了研究人类对不同面部表情的辨认能力,针对不同国家、不同文 化群体的人们做实验。故选A。
由文章第三段第四句话可知,Ekman的研究验证了不论在哪一个地方,人类对一些基 本情感的面部表达方式都是一样的这一理论。虽然Ekman在不同国家做实验但得出的结论 是相同的。正是这样的研究结果才验证了上面的理论。
题干说:“美国人要比新几内亚的Fore people更易动怒。”这一点在文章中未提及。
参考第17题解析。
题干说:“不同的两个人可能会对同一事物产生不同的情感。”在文章第四段后半部分, 作者举了一个例子。当两个人闻到刚割过的青草的味道时,一个人感到高兴因为青草的味道 让他想起童年时在乡村度过的愉快的夏天。另一个人感到难过因为青草的味道让他想起在农 场工作时又累又饿的情景。所以题干说法正确。
题干说:“恐惧是最难改变的一种情感。”文章中没有提及。
题干说:“来自不同文化背景的人们在互相理解时会微笑。”文章最后一段说不同文化 背景的人们在他们的语言和风俗方面会有不同,但微笑无论在哪里都是相同的。题干的说法 没有提及。
