Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 43 to 50.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful
because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us
respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth
say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such
questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial
language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a setof universal emotional expressions that
testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate
sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United
States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim
that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and
surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so
called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially

negative oneswhile many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture,
however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour. From their first days of life, babies
produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention tofacial expressions, and
by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a
biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic setof human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin
pointed outover a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural
psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what
emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in
China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as
easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
Question 43: According to the passage, we respond to others by........
A. looking at their faces
B. watching their actions
C. observing their looks
D. observing their emotional expressions
Question 44: The biggest difference lies in..........
A. how long negative emotions are displayed
B. how often positive emotions are shown
C. how intensive emotions are expressed
D. how emotional responses are controlled
Question 45: The word "evolved" in line 2 is closest in meaning to........
A. increased
B. simplified
C. reduced
D. developed
Question 46: The best title for the passage is..........
A. Ways to control emotional expressions
B. Human habitof displaying emotions
C. Review of research on emotional expressions

D. Cultural universals in emotional expressions

Question 47: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether........
A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.
B. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
C. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.
D. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
Question 48: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to.........
A. change their behaviour
B. display their emotions openly
C. conceal their positive emotions
D. control their emotions
Question 49: The phrase "this evidence" in line 18 refers to.........

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 03 to 10.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful
because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us
respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth
say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such
questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial
language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a setof universal emotional expressions that
testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate
sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United
States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim
that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and

surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so
called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially
negative oneswhile many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture,
however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour. From their first days of life, babies
produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention tofacial expressions, and
by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a
biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic setof human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin
pointed outover a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural
psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what
emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in
China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as
easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions from 03 to 10.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful
because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us
respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth
say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such
questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial
language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a setof universal emotional expressions that
testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate
sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United
States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim
that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and
surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so

called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially
negative oneswhile many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture,
however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour. From their first days of life, babies
produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention tofacial expressions, and
by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a
biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic setof human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin
pointed outover a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural
psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what
emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in
China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as
easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.

each of the questions from 43 to 50.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful
because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us
respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth
say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such
questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial
language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a setof universal emotional expressions that
testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate
sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United
States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artie Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim
that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and
surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so
called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially
negative oneswhile many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture,
however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behaviour. From their first days of life, babies
produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention tofacial expressions, and
by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to a

biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic setof human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin
pointed outover a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross - cultural
psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what
emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in
China it can signify surprise. Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as
easily mean embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
Question 43: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether........
A. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.
B. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.
C. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
D. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.

A. researchers who can speak and understand many languages B. lacked many main ingredients
C. investigators on universal emotional expressions
D. researchers on universal language
Question 47: According to the passage, we respond to others by........
