It can be a family inheritance or it can be just to impress people around you about the fact that you are a person of culture. On the other hand, there are many persons who cannot afford to buy books, because some of them are quite expensive, but they usually go to libraries and spend hours reading something that interests them a lot, or just borrow books to read at home.From my point of view, literature is very important in our lives from several points of view. For example, reading is a means of gaining culture and enriching our knowledge in different areas of activities. It can help us have a great imagination and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you dont work in this field, or you can express your opinion about a political aspect, because you have read something connected to that.Secondly, literature offers us the possibility to enter the world of imagination, and to leave apart the real one for a couple of hours. We come to meet kings and queens many years ago, dream in the world of the rich or imagine how life will be in the future. Sometimes, we identify ourselves with the characters in the stories we read.To conclude, I would like to say that literature is the perfect means to enrich our cullture, to express correctly and have a rich vocabulary, to be able to join in conversations in defferent fields of interest and to really be considered an erudite person.41. The people who are fond of literature are those that _.A. go to libraries on weekends B. have much interest in readingC. keep many books in their studies D. buy expensive books in the bookstore42. We can learn from the third paragraph that _.A. we can bring kings and queens back to lifeB. it is very good for us to stay alone for some hoursC. what we read can be useful in our daily lifeD. we can make friends with the people in the stories43. The underlined word “erudite” in the last paragraph probably means_.A. learned B. enthusiastic C.cautious D. creative44. What is the authors purpose in writing the passage？A. To tell readers how to read a book.B. To explain why we need a great collection of books.C. To advise readers to like reading.D. To tell readers who has the real passion for literature.BAttend the Next Forum!For the last twelve years CPSB has had the pleasure of hosting a learning event we call a Forum.

Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore 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 express 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 correctly participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made more errors than Westerners did. 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 Westerners use the whole face to express emotion while Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.In short, the data show facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors help our understanding of human emotion.Otherwise,when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.48. The discovery shows that Westerners _. A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth B. consider facial expressions universally reliable C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 49. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to_. A. do translation more successfully B. study the mouth more frequently C. examine the eyes more attentively D. read facial expressions more correctly50. What can be the best title for the passage?A. The Eye as the Window to the Soul B. Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D.
