A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions (情感).The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized," said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda."A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons (情感符号), which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons :) and :-) show a happy face, whereas the emoticons : ( or : -( show a sad face.However, Japanese tend to use the symbol ( ' ' ) to indicate a happy face, and ( ;_; )to indicate a sad face.
"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions.The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle (微妙的)," said Masuda."In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person's face."
The text mainly tells us that __________.
A.cultural differences are expressed in emotions
B.culture is the key to interpreting facial emotions
C.different emoticons are preferred in different cultures
D.people from different cultures express emotions differently
Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?

(10·湖南C篇)
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) 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 did Westerners. "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.

A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

阅读下列材料,从所给的六个选项(A、B、C、D、E和F)中,选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。
以下是学习英浯的方法:
A. Practice speaking as often as you can -- even speaking to yourself is good practice. Try recording yourself whenever you can.
B. It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family member to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week. And test each other regularly.
C. Practice improvising (即兴的) ways of getting your meaning across, even if you don't know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have time. An example is the use of tenses. Use facial expressions, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
D. Guesswork is important in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren't expected to understand everything the first round. If you play the same piece several times, you will most probably understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum (最大限度) use of all the clues (提示) you can pick up.
E. A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning, but don't try to learn too much vocabulary at once.
F. If you are the person on the bus, street or restaurant asking how you can improve your English, you are on the right track. The only way to improve your speaking is by speaking. Don't worry about a bad accent or forgetting words or not being understood.
以下是学习者在学习英语中所碰到的闲难。请匹配这些困难与他们所对应的学习方法。
【小题1】 Jack Anderson's vocabulary is very small. He is very anxious to improve his English. Therefore, he wants to enlarge his vocabulary in a short time and tries his best to memorize new words as many as possible at a time.
