   It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of clear similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited (遗传) rather than learned.

  Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble (颤抖)”suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out(伸出)their tongues”! Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting(侮辱)or expresses disgust.

  Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Disgust, contempt (蔑视) and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. And psychologists (心理学家) such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people often give the completely impression of how they feel. For example, they try to show love but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don’t care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what for people understand.

According to the passage, even in different cultures the most easily recognized emotion is    .

       A.anger       B.dislike      C.happiness  D.surprise

Experiments show that easier understanding of words and gestures has something to do with your           .

       A.age and sex             B.love and cultural differences

       C.impressions about the speaker D.emotional state

When we communicate with people,        .

       A.we know exactly what they mean while they express their emotions

       B.we sometimes misunderstand each other

       C.we usually mislead them by expressing the opposite of our feeling

       D.it seems much mere difficult to understand body language than language

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A.When we communicate our real emotions, we many cause misunderstanding to others.

       B.Different people in different cultures may have different ways to understand one gesture.

       C.Some people are likely to hide their real feelings and express them in the opposite way.

       D.What we say does always mean the same thing as the gestures we make.

The underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 2 probably means “     ” in this passage.

       A.strong dislike   B.friendliness      C.love  D.sickness

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."

  Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.

 There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

 Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.

  Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".

 Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

    Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.

 Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).

 Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres.

Thirty- two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one’s fellowman?

  “Not so,”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency(紧急情况). Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side - walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma(昏迷) from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk? Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak(漏洞)in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible(负责任的). He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.

  The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.”Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the “tests.”Then they went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room”and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of bookshelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder.

  Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.

  In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.

  Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

60. The purpose of this passage is ________.

 A. to explain why people fail to act in emergencies

 B. to explain when people will act in emergencies

 C. to explain what people will do in emergencies

D. to explain how people feel in emergencies

61. Which of the following is NOT true?

  A. When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.

  B. When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help.

  C. A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.

  D. A person with a heart attack needs the most.

62. The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that ________.

  A. they are afraid of emergencies

  B. they are not willing to get themselves involved

  C. others will act if they themselves hesitate

D. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help

63. The author suggests that ________.

  A. we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergencies

  B. a person must feel guilty if he fails to help

  C. people should be responsible for themselves in emergencies

D. when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway
