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 feel?ings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example,many people in Russia consider 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 cultures,a smile is frequently used to cover pain?ful 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 members of an?other do does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example? in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as free?ly 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 emotions are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.

Two of the hardest things to accom?plish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and,having gained it,to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather wellknown golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a halfdozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking. These same men can be found there day after day,and,strangely enough,each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth,success?ful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness,then each one should have been happy. Yet,it seemed to me,something very important was missing,else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew,each one of them,that their productivity had ceased (停止) .When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit* it is dying. And it is even so with man.

To me,that has been a challenge from my earliest re?collections (memories) . In fact,the battle of life,of ex?istence,is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul,too,have been and always will be a great in?spiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,and I have kept the faith.

A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
