Just then he heard light, hesitant _22_ on his door that were clearly audible (听到 ) in the _23_ night.
10、“Whos it ” he wondered, since Terry was a _24_ to this city. And this was the moment he especially hated to be _25_, so he went to the door and opened it _26_. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles Im your neighbor. ” “No,” answered Terry in anger and shut the door _
11、27_. “What a nuisance!” He complained over it with his wife. “No sooner had we settled down than the neighbor came to _28_ things.” After a while, the door was knocked again.

17、ial expressions-and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. We show that Easterners and Westerners look at differen
18、t face features to read facial expressions, Jack said. Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect the mouth. According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously be
19、lieved. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Whites
20、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 accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out
21、that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly 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 whereas Westerners use th
22、e whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less. In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotio
23、n. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 【小题 1】 The discovery shows that Westerners _ A pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth B consider facial expressions universally reliable C observe the eye
