6、earcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,
7、 whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) 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
8、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 Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: h
9、appy, 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 that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Wester
10、ners 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 the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show t
11、hat 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 emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will

It returned to the National Dog Mill Rescue.CLike people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.Bad environmental conditions,
24、 such as drought, flood, heat and other stresses, affect yields (产量) more than crop pests and diseases. We are trying to find a way to equip plants with the ability to tolerate environmental stress and maintain high yields, said Stephen Howell, a professor of genetics and cell biology.Plant cells pr
25、oduce proteins (蛋白质) and ship them to different parts of the cell. Under normal conditions, these proteins are folded into their normal, healthy structures as they are produced. When a plant is under stress, its cells produce poorly folded or unfolded proteins. Then a built-in system senses this and
26、 “sets off an alarm in the cell,” said Howell.In response to the alarm, another protein (IRE1) starts working and creates a different process which activates (激活) the stress response genes whose products bring about defensive measures that help the plant survive.“As it turns out, responses that are
27、activated under stress conditions actually inhibit the growth of plants,” said Howell. “This allows them to preserve their energy to survive the stress conditions.”For plants in the wild, this response is a help for survival, he said. In production of agriculture crops, however, this response reduce
28、s yields.“You dont want crop plants to stop growing,” Howell said. “You want them to continue to grow and produce even though they are under stress.”With the new understanding of this stress response, the next step may be to silence the alarm system, said Howell. “What may be important is to disable
29、 some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”519. According to the text, what causes an alarm in the plant cells?A. The folded proteins. B. The changed proteins.C. The defensive measures. D. The stress response genes.20. What does the energy prese
30、rved in the plants under stress conditions do?A. It helps the plants to survive. B. It helps to maintain high yields.C. It keeps the plants growing. D. It helps to produce proteins.21. Which word is closest to the meaning of the underlined word “inhibit” in Paragraph 5? A. Prevent. B. Start. C. Cont
31、inue. D. Promote.22. How does Howell intend to make crop plants maintain high yields under stress conditions?A. By making crop plants keep more energy. B. By making crop plants stop growing.C. By making the alarm system stop working. D. By making the alarm system respond quickly.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满
