　　Angry faces for everyone

　　We quickly know someone is angry if we see a special face:a lowered brow (眉毛),thinned lips and a widely-opened nose.

　　Why can we be so sure?It’s because the human “anger face” is universal,according to a new study by researchers from the US and Australia.

　　“Even blind children make this same face without ever having seen one,”Aaron Sell,who led the study,told the Daily Mail.

　　The angry expression is made by seven muscle groups.Researchers wanted to understand why those seven muscle groups were chosen,so they did a series of experiments.

　　They took a photo of a human face.Then they used a computer to change the face in two ways:One photo showed a lowered brow,and the other a raised brow.They showed the photos to people.

　　With just this one difference,neither face looked “angry”.But people reported the face with the lowered brow could be from a stronger man.

　　Researchers did the same experiment with each of the other six features of an angry face:raised cheekbones (顴骨),lips thinned and pushed out,the mouth raised,the nose wide open and the chin pushed out and up.

　　People all reported the same feeling:The person making the face was physically stronger.

　　“Since stronger people tend to get their way more often...we found that it (the anger face) is a threat display,” said Sell.

　　Many other animals also do the same thing.When a dog wants to protect its food,it shows its sharp teeth.Even a small frog knows to puff (膨脹) itself up if it sees possible danger coming.

　　Researchers also point out that anger is a bargaining tool.We make that face to let others know:“The event is not acceptable,and the conflict will not end until we reach an agreement.”

　　So the next time someone gives you an angry face,don’t rush into a fight.They may just want you to sit down and talk.

　　1.What is the article mainly about?

　　A.The study of the anger face.

　　B.The meaning behind the anger face.

　　C.What makes the anger face universal.

　　D.How to deal with an anger face.

　　解析:主旨歸納題。全文介紹了一項關于生氣的臉的研究。

　　A.Blind children have to learn how to make the anger face.

　　B.The anger face is formed by seven pieces of muscles.

　　C.People making the anger face rush into a fight easily.

　　D.People making the anger face are considered physically stronger.

　　解析:細節理解題。由第八段研究結論“People all reported the same feeling:The person making the face was physically stronger”可知D項正確。由第三段中的“Even blind children make this same face without ever having seen one”可知A項錯誤;由第四段第一句“The anger expression is made by seven muscle groups”可知B項不準確,不是七塊肌肉,而是七個肌肉群;文中沒有提到C項。

　　A.is discussedB.causes a lot of trouble

　　C.looks strange D.is difficult to understand

　　解析:詞義猜測題。從第十一段中的“The event is not acceptable,and the conflict will not end until we reach an agreement”和最后一段倒數第一句“They may just want you to sit down and talk”可知,bargaining是“需要討論”的意思。

　　Ⅳ.七選五

　　根據短文內容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

　　Family Values

　　To understand a nation,you should first get to know its minimum unit-family.　1　?

　　In the US,upon reaching an appropriate age,children are encouraged,but not forced,to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life.　2　 Parents do not arrange marriages for their children,nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married.Young adults meet their future spouses(配偶)through other friends,at jobs,and in organizations and religious institutions.Although children choose their own spouses,they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.?

　　Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families.A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.　3　 A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father’s workplace.This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.?

　　　4　 It is not like us Chinese.Parents are rulers and masters.We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect.In America,children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents,like family financial situation,the relationship between mother and father,and even sex.?

　　　5　Therefore,it is contrary that,on one hand,Americans admire independence and equality that they don’t want to make sacrifice to make up a family,but on the other hand,Americans think highly of family in their value system.?

　　A.In the American family,children and parents are equal.

　　B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.

　　C.When it comes to big problems,children do not have to always follow their parents’ ways.

　　D.After children leave home,they often find social relationship and financial support outside the family.

　　E.Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality,they don’t believe in making sacrifice.

　　F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.

　　G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life’s most important decision—marriage—almost entirely up to luck.
