The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such a

24、s Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion. “These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally

25、 recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Masuda. “A persons culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression.”These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号),

26、which are used to convey a writers emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons :) and :-) show a happy face, whereas

27、 the emoticons: (or : -( show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol ( ) to indicate a happy face, and ( ;_; )to indicate a sad face. “We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a persons eyes when determining

28、 emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的),” said Masuda. “In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a persons face.”51. The text mainly tells us that _. A. cultural differences are expressed in emotion

29、s B. different emoticons are preferred in different culturesC. culture is the key to interpreting facial emotionsD. people from different cultures express emotions differently52. Which emoticon is used by Americans to show a happy face?A. (;_;)B. :-( C. ( )D. :-)53. If a Japanese wants to detect whe

30、ther a smile is true or false, he will probably_. A. read the whole faceB. look into the eyesC. judge by the voice D. focus on the mouth54. People used to believe that _.A. people all over the world understood basic emotions almost in the same wayB. people in the world interpreted basic emotions in

31、different waysC. some facial expressions of emotions were too complex to be recognizedD. people could only recognize the facial expressions of basic emotionsBWhen you go to St. Petersburg, the number of attractions can seem large. If you are short of time, or just want to make sure to hit the highli

32、ghts, these are the top must-see sights in St. Petersburg.1.The Hermitage MuseumThe Hermitage Museum is one of the most important sights to see for any visitor to St. Petersburg. There are lots of different paintings by the old masters in the Hermitage. Prepare to come face-to-face with classic West

33、ern artists.2. Kizhi IslandKizhi Island is an open-air museum of wooden architecture from the Karelia Region of Russia. These impressive structures are made entirely without nailsthe wood fits together with joints and grooves(沟槽).3. PeterhofPeterhof is as beautiful as it is fun. Youll be charged for

34、 admission, but go to Petethof when the fountains are workingduring the day in the summer. They are shut off in winter evenings.4. The Church of Our Savior on the Spilt BloodLove it or hate it, the Church of Our Savior on the Spilt Blood in St. Petersburg is an wonderful must-see sight. The beautifu

35、l look may make your eyes brighten, and the painting inside the church will make you say “Wow!”5. The Bronze Horseman StatueThe so-called Bronze Horseman is a part of Russian culture and a symbol of St. Petersburg. Made famous by Alexander Pushkin, this statue of Peter the Great sitting on his horse

36、 can truly show Peter the Greats influence on the Russian idea of greatness.55. If you are interested in paintings, youd better go to _.A. Peterhof and Kizhi IslandB. Kizhi lsland and the Church of Our Savior on the Spilt BloodC. the Hermitage Museum and the Church of Our Savior on the Spilt BloodD.

37、 the Hcrmitagee Museum and Peterhof56. We can learn from the passage that _.A. visitors can visit Peterhof for freeB. the buildings of Kizhi Island are made of woodC. the fountains in Peterhof can be seen all year roundD. the largest collection of Russian arts is in the Hermitage Museum57. The main

38、purpose of the passage is to _.A. show the wonderful history of RussiaB. persuade artists to study St. PetersburgC. introduce the must-see sights in St. PetersburgD. recommend the famous buildings in Russia58. The underlined phrase (in Para 1) “hit the highlights” means _.A. to learn more knowledge

39、B. to visit the most interesting sightsC. to go to the high buildingsD. to save more timeCAre morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I rarely went to bed before midnight, and I would almost always get up late the next morning.But after a while I couldnt igno

40、re the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity was almost always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go b

41、ack to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed me that I was using the wrong strategy.The most common wrong strategy is this: You assume that if youre going to get up earlier, youd better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.There are two main schools(流派) of thoug

42、ht on sleep patterns. The first is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when youre tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both of them are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at set hou

43、rs, youll sometimes go to bed when you arent sleepy enough. Youre wasting time lying in bed awake and not being asleep.If your sleep is based on what your body tells you, youll probably be sleeping more than you need. Also, your mornings may be less predictable if youre getting up at different times

44、.The solution for me has been to combine both methods. I go to bed when Im sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 am), but I go to bed at different times every night sometimes at 9:30pm, and other times at midnight. Most of the time I

45、 go to bed between 10-11 pm.However, going to bed only when Im sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning is my way. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.59. According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to _.A. people who stay up until the next morningB. peo

46、ple whose productivity is the highest in the morningC. people who feel sleepy in the morningD. people who get up early in the morning60. Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?A. Because he / she wanted to form the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.B. Because he / sh

47、e wanted to see which of the two main schools of thought on sleep patterns was right.C. Because he / she had found that his / her productivity was higher when he / she got up early.D. Because he / she was told the high relationship between success and rising early.61. The author experienced all the

48、following EXCEPT _.A. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habitsB. getting up early occasionallyC. pressing off the alarm to go on sleepingD. going to bed after midnight62. The passage is mainly about _.A. how to have good sleep B. main schools of thought on sleep patterns C. wrong strategies for

49、 getting up early D. how to become an early riserDThe $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in

50、positive thinking?Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.The studys authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the Universi

51、ty of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, youre just

52、underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.In this experiment,

53、 Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”Those with low self-esteem

54、 didnt feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who werent urged to think positive thoughts.The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative

55、thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.63. What do we learn from

56、the first paragraph about the self-help industry? A. It has produced positive results. B. It is a highly profitable industry. C. It was established by Norman Vincent Peale. D. It is based on the concept of positive thinking.64. What does the word “underline” mean (Line 4, Para. 3)?A. lay emphasis on

57、 B. point out C. pay no attention to D. take for granted65. Which of the following is TRUE about the Canadian researchers study? A. Encouraging positive thinking many do more good than harm. B. Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to ones mood. C. Forcing a person to think positive thoughts

58、may lower their self-esteem. D. There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.66. What do we learn from the last paragraph? A. People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.B. Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.C. Different people tend to have different ways of

59、 thinking. D. The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.EMost schools forbid chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores. This ex

60、citing research is just beginning. And in the meantime, companies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath. Other researchers are finding that gum mi
