　 We use both words and gestures to express our feelings，but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways．It is true that a smile means the same things in any language．So does laughter or crying．

　　 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 began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock．However，”“he opens his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese while in English it means surprise．In Chinese“surprise”can be described in a phrase like“they stretched out their tongues”．But in English it is an insulting

gesture or expresses strong dislike．

　　 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．Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do．

　 When friends come to visit us in the evening，they，spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and looking at their watches．It isn’t that our friends are all very busy; it is just that we haven’t got a television．People think that we are very strange．“But what do you do in the evening?”they are always asking． The anser is very simple．Both my wife and I have hobbies．We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at the walls．My wife enjoys cooking and，painting and

often attends evening classes in foreign languages．This is very useful as we often go abroad for our holidays．I collect stamps and I’m always busy with my collection． Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together．

　　 Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house．This does not worry us．We just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before．Our friends，however，are lost－no television! So they don’t know what to do．On such evenings our house is very full：they all come to us．They all have a good time．Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television，everybody talks and plays games．

4．将小麦栽培在适宜的光照、温度和重组的条件下培养。

(1)经过一段时间后，突然停止光照，发现小麦体内三碳化合物含量突然上升，这是因为光反应停止，不能形成　　　　 所必需的[H]和ATP，而暗反应仍能进行，与　　 结合，形成三碳化合物的结果。

　 (2)如果在上述实验中，在停止光照的同时，使温度下降至某一温度时，小麦体内的暗反应将会停止，其原因是　　　　　　 。

　 (3)如果在上述实验中，在适宜的温度和中等强度光照下不断地增加的浓度，司以看到光合作用的效率会随之升高。但是当的浓度达到一定数值后，光合作用的速率则不再增大，其原因是光反应中产生的　　 的数量是有一定限度的，限制了三碳化合物的还原。此时如果想继续升高光合作用的效率，　 可能有效的措施是　　　　　 。
