Architecture has social purposes and meets practical needs by means of combining art and
technological innovations. In building construction, however, an emergence of new materials does
not make its precursors obsolete, and architectural knowledge is cumulative. The fact that today
much is constructed from prefabricated concrete does not do away with brick . Furthermore, despite
dramatic changes and increased technological sophistication of architectural design and construction,
the essential apparatus of erecting a building has remained rooted in preindustrial traditional practices
passed down during the millennia. The social and utilitarian expectations of structures are largely
based on elemental demands of keeping out elements and enemies, ameliorating the extremes of heat,
and avoiding the intrusion of wind, precipitation, and pests.

Gravity, air pressure, and earthquakes can induce tensions that have to be accounted for when
constructing functional enclosed space. Vertical stacking of masonry materials causes compression
that can lead to important problems when a structure is spanned to build a roof and connect walls.
Arches, vaults, and domes were specifically developed to alleviate the compression by directing the
spanning element along a curve rather than a straight line. Building suspension structures, dams, and
tunnels became possible in the nineteenth century with the increased availability of steel that could
reinforce structural frames and enable them to withstand natural forces previously believed to be
insurmountable.

Functional evolutions of modern buildings create new demands on the analysis of structural
behavior and engineering. Few occupants of skyscrapers view elevators as elaborate systems of
vertical transportation. Humidity and temperature control, forced ventilation, natural and artificial
lighting, sanitation and disposal of waste, electrical wiring, and fire prevention make very tall
constructions engineering marvels that also must be aesthetically pleasing and physically convenient.
Erecting a structure involves a great deal more than merely attending to the aesthetics and
psychological experience of architectural space. The shape, size, and incombustibility of locally
available construction materials fostered developments of specific technologies, and brick and stone
masonry have evolved in response to the need for structural durability. Advances in civil engineering
and knowledge associated with properties of building materials combine to lead to innovations in
architectural design. Tools and skills required to exploit easily obtainable materials have continued to
inform the development of modern industrialized technologies

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 set of 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 Artic 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
ones-while 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 behavior. From their
first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings.

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 41: According to the passage, we respond to others by ______________.
A. observing their looks B. watching their actions

C. looking at their faces D. observing their emotional expressions

Question 42: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether _____________.
A. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth.

B. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar.
C. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar.

D. different cultures have similar emotional expressions.

Question 43: The word “ evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to ______________.

A. developed B. reduced C. simplified D. increased

Question 45: Smiles and frowns ________________.

A. are not popular everywhere

B. are universal expressions across cultures
C. have different meanings in different cultures
D. do not convey the same emotions in various cultures

share a set of 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 Artic 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
ones-while 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 behavior. 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 to
facial 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 set of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over 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.
