There are amazing things in the world. The story about Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster（尼斯湖水怪）, is one of the widely spread legends(传说) in the early 20th century.

On July 22, 1933, two visitors, Mr. and Mrs. George Spices, were driving along one of the most famous lakes in the highlands of Scotland. Suddenly they saw an animal on the road in front of them. Unlike any other animals that they had seen before, it had a very big body and a very small head, but no legs. When Mr. and Mrs. Spices saw it, it was moving towards the lake like a snake. Later on, the animal was described like a long black or green dinosaur, and it was informally called Nessie.

Soon, stories about this strange animal and Loch Ness became famous all over the world. Now people are still interested in Nessie and many visit Loch Ness so that they can see Nessie.

There are different opinions on this legend among scientists. Anyway, they are all sure that a kind of large animal lives in the lake and believe that they are going to find out what it is some day.

A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions．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．”

A．some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognized

B．people in the world interpreted basic emotions in different ways

C．people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotions；

D．people all’ over the world understood basic emotions in the same way

63．The computer emoticons used by the Americans show that_____________．

A．they express their feelings openly

第二节：阅读填空 （共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）

认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空填一个单词。

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure, teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up.” These can be encouraging words and words of determination. A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion , the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.

   One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.

   Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted.

Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.

In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not , we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed one day.

Don’t you think it is _______ bad manners to stare at foreigners in _______ curious manner?

       A. the; a         B. /; /            C. /; a              D. the; the
