While people may believe they have the ability to read each others faces，body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.In a study，groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.In some cases the volunteers were able to see the players full body，but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body，but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy，pleasure，victory，pain and defeat.Using photoediting software，the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion，and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions，demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.Dr Aviezer，who led the study，said，“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense，the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear. The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations. For example，individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions，but if they are trained to process important body language，their performance may significantly improve.”【解题导语】最新的研究表明：通过观察别人的眼睛，人们并不能完全读懂他们的心情，但如果通过肢体语言，人体却能更好地了解。1People tend to believe that _Asomeones body language has an effect on their feelingsBreading someones face alone cannot tell their feelingsCsomeones body language is the only clue to their feelingsDsomeones feelings can be read by their facial expressions答案D推理判断题。从第一段的Contrary to popular belief，looking at someones face alone is.可知，目前，人们普遍认为，看人们的面部表情就可以得知他们的心情。2What do we know about the first study?AThe participants were divided into four groups.BAll participants were given the same pictures to see.CIt proved that emotions influence peoples body language.DParticipants could tell the players feelings when seeing the full picture.答案D细节理解题。从第四段的Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body可知答案。3In the second study，the participants were asked to _Aexpress the opposite emotionBact out the emotions they sawCuse photoediting softwareDperform different roles答案B细节理解题。从倒数第三段的.asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos可知，第二个研究中，参与者要求把所看到的表情演示出来。4What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?ARidiculous. BUseless.CUnrealistic. DHelpful.答案D推理判断题。从最后一段的The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations可知，Dr Aviezer认为这些结果在某个方面对其它研究有一定的帮助。阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Ice Age Cave Art of Southwest FranceMay 21，2013May 27，2013Day 1 US.Bordeaux，FranceLeave the US. for Bordeaux to start our prehistoric exploration(史前探索)Day 2 BordeauxLes EyziesdeTayacSireuilOn arriving in Bordeaux，join the group to Les EyziesdeTayacSireuil，Frances prehistory capital.

Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines. Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts. In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving
