A
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, 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, 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 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: 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 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 the 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 emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across
cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
11. The discovery shows that Westerners .
A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions
12. What were the people asked to do in the study?
A. To make a face at each other. B. To get their faces impressive.
C. To classify some face pictures. D. To observe the researchers’ faces.
13. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. The participants in the study.
B. The researchers of the study.
C. The errors made during the study.
D. The data collected from the study.
14. In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to .
A. do translation more successfully
B. study the mouth more frequently
C. examine the eyes more attentively
D. read facial expressions more correctly
B
He may not have an "S" across his chest but this dog is most certainly a hero.
Harley, who was rescued from a puppy mill four years ago, was named the American Humane Association's 2015 American Hero Dog. Harley, who is missing an eye and has other medical issues from his time at the mill, is now a "spokes-dog" against puppy mills. He serves as the adorable furry face of the "Harley to the Rescue" campaign, which raises funds for the National Dog Mill Rescue, according to a press release.
The pup was rescued back in 2011 and adopted by Rudi and her husband, Dan. "It was just four years ago that he was pulled from the cage in the puppy mill and left to die," Harley's owner, Rudi, said during the awards show at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles this past weekend, according to Today. com. "We never would have ever thought he would live this long and make such a difference for so many puppies."
The dog was one of eight finalists up for the American Hero Dog and was chosen as the winner through public votes. The finalists all won $ 1,500 to be donated to one of American Humane Association’s charity partners, with Harley receiving another $ 5 ,000 to go toward his charity partner, New Leash On Life.
According to the release, Harley spent 10 years at the puppy mill, and endured rough treatment there, which led to his many medical issues. He lost his eye as a result of his cage being power-washed with him inside.
The dog isn't just the face of his campaign, he also goes on rescue missions and makes public appearances at events and schools to raise awareness for puppy mills.
This incredible work is all due to the dog’s fighting spirit. That spirit is allowing him now to be the voice for dogs who cannot speak for themselves and give everybody hope that tomorrow's going to be a better day.
15. How did the "Harley to the Rescue" campaign function?
A. By saving dogs from a puppy mill.
B. By operating the American Humane Association.
C. By collecting money for the National Dog Mill Rescue.
D. By giving endangered dogs-enough medical treatment.
16. What was the author’s attitude to the puppy mill according to the text?
A. Unsatisfied. B. Sympathetic. C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant.
17. Why was Harley blind in one eye?
A. She was born with it. B. Her owner treated her roughly.
C. It was caused by a medical issue. D. She was washed heavily in a cage.
18. What can we know about the dog from the text?
A. It would be given to New Leash On Life.
B. It was kept by Rudi's family.
C. It would be taken away by its puppy mill.
D. It returned to the National Dog Mill Rescue.
C
Like people, plants experience stress. And also, like people, the response to that stress can determine success.
Bad environmental conditions, 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 produce 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 “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 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 reduces yields.
“You don’t 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 some of these stress responses. That may make the plant more productive under stress conditions.”
19. 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 preserved 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. Continue. 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.

Four simple ways to stay positive
Trying to stay positive, both in good times and bad, is a great way to improve your quality of life. Try these four methods on a daily basis.
1. Don’t think a lot about negativity.
Of course, staying positive 24 hours a day, seven days a week is a bit difficult. Letting things get to you is normal, and it’s actually healthy to cry or express frustrations once in a while.
It’s when those negative moments control your life that your emotional balance is at risk. __23__ However, don’t give that sadness another second in your day.
2. __24__
What you put into your body directly affects how you feel on the outside. Fill yourself with good, healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and limit snacking. Exercise is equally of great importance. Take a few days out of your week for at least half an hour of activity, and try to stick to a routine. __25__
3. Be kind to others.
__26__ Making someone’s day a bit brighter not only puts a smile on his or her face, but also yours as well. Remember to smile and treat each person with pity and respect. Good deeds are contagious (传染的) , and your positive attitude may spread among others.
4. Take it one day at a time.
Being positive isn’t an instant thing. It’s a steady effort that we follow every hour of every day. __27__ Instead, focus on living in the moment and doing what you can to make each moment better.
A. Eat healthily and stay fit.
B. Take your lunch breaks outside.
C. Don’t worry about what the future may bring.
D. Gratitude helps you appreciate life in bad times.
A. Take a few minutes to feel sad and accept what happened.
B. Good feelings come from acts of kindness and selflessness.
C. Even going outside for a walk and enjoying the sunshine improves your mood.

I left France with many __41__, so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always __42__ to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends __43__ France we enjoyed together. I love how people __44__ seem so different, but end up being so __45__. The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn't just to respect the French people __46__ to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away.

Dear friends,
I am Li Hua, president of the Students’ Union. It’s my great privilege to be here, sharing this moment with our fellow friends from the United States. During the three-week activities, we surely exchanged our ideas on learning, sports and cultures. One of the highlights was the sports meeting where we competed with each other in the basketball match.
The past three weeks witnessed our growth and our friendship. It is not only your enthusiasm but also your teamwork and good spirits that impress us deeply. After the precious exchange activity, we now have a better understanding of each other on a whole new level.
Now I sincerely hope that our friendship will last forever. Wish you all the best.
Thank you!

Dear friends,
How time flies! It has been 2 weeks since we had you stay with us. As chairman of the Student Union, it’s my great honor to give a speech here, recalling the sweet and happy moments we spent together.
During the past 2 weeks, we have studied in the same classroom and worked out a lot of academic problems. Also, we have put on so many wonderful shows, impressing all the teachers and students. Furthermore, we have been involved in various interesting activities, like learning to make Chinese dumplings, playing British cricket and so on.
Undoubtedly, this exchange program is a fruitful success, through which we gain a better understanding of British and Chinese cultures. In addition, our friendship has been greatly strengthened.
Hard though it is to say goodbye to friends, I do wish you a safe journey back to England and may our friendship last forever!
