Question

10．It's natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave．（31）G But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages？Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body？
Scientists have recently tackled these questions．They found that when a person is looking at your face，she might not believe what she sees of your body language matches the feeling that your face shows．
（32）BPreviously，they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken．For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，"I'm so excited．"
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language，most scientists suspected that the face was more important．To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies（with faces blurred out） that showed anger or fear．（33）FAn angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips．A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth．（34）EA scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend．
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people．Even when people pay attention to the face，body language subtly influences which emotion they read．（35）D And if you want to be understood，it helps to avoid sending mixed messages．
A．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people．
B．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists．
C．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds．
D．So，your body language is important for telling people how you feel．
E．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle，as if ready to fight．
F．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies．
G．When you do this，your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them．

31．G联系下文题．根据后句But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages？可知如果你的脸和身体发出混合的信息会怎么样？G项：When you do this，your face and body work together to show your friends that you're happy to see them．当你做这些时，你的脸和身体会一起表达，来告诉你的朋友你很高兴见到他们，符合文意．故选G．
32．B归纳总结题．根据下文Previously，they had found that the tone of a person's voice can be more important than the words that are spoken．For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，"I'm so excited．"可知以前，他们发现一个人的语调比说的话更重要．例如，大多数人往往不相信一个人会以一个平缓的声音说："我太兴奋了．"B项：Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists．研究这些混合的信息，对于科学家来说，没有什么新发现．符合文意．故选B．
33．F联系上文题．根据上句To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies（with faces blurred out） that showed anger or fear．可知为了检验这是否属实，来自荷兰和波士顿的心理学家向人们展示了一些显示出愤怒或恐惧的孤立面孔和孤立身体（脸上模糊了）的照片．这里想说他们展示了一些照片，生气和惊恐的脸和生气和惊恐的身体是相匹配的．故选F．
34．E联系下文题．根据下句A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend．可知这里想说生气的身体，胳膊和肩膀成一定角度，好像准备打架，故选E．
