         Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in
    American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A
    woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑)
    across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even
    improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in
    big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
         Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express
    their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.
    Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public
    and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with
    friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
         It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural
    differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing
    emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of
    "reading" the other person incorrectly.
    1. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?
    A. Love.
    B. Politeness.
    C. Joy.
    D. Thankfulness.
    2. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .
    A. show friendliness to strangers
    B. be used to hide true feelings
    C. be used in the wrong places
    D. show personal habits
    3. What should we do before attempting to "read" people?
    A. Learn about their relations with others.
    B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
    C. Find out about their past experience.
    D. Figure out what they will do next.
    4. What would be the best title for the test?
    A. Cultural Differences
    B. Smiles and Relationship
    C. Facial Expressiveness
    D. Habits and Emotions

    　　David Beckham has rejected claims that England players are being greedy over their bonuses(奖金)for the World Cup, insisting the reports suggesting that each player would receive ￡300 000 for winning were wide of the mark．

    　　“The truth is that we are earning less for this World Cup than we were for the last game, ” said the England skipper．Squad members stood in line to pocket ￡250 000 each for victory at the 2002 finals．

    　　“I know for a fact that every one of the players in our team would play for our country for nothing and so would the other players．We don’t go into a game thinking we can make money for winning．There is too much pride and excitement in our team to even suggest that．”

    　　There is money I football and we talk about bonuses every time a big competition comes around－and－there is always criticism of the players when bonuses are agreed．But money isn’t the motivation(动力)－not at all．When you are a 15-year-old watching the World Cup, you don’t dream of playing in it because you can make loads of money．Players don’t think like that;you want to be there to play on that stage．

    　　“The FA makes money and the players always get bonuses; that is a fact．And if we do not succeed then the money is not there．”
