Dear man,

I am the South China tiger, an endangered animal. I¡¯m writing to tell you something about my poor living environment which results from your cruel activities.

Looking back, how wonderful it was for us to enjoy the green forest, the fresh air and the free life. However, you hunt too much, decreasing the number of us. Besides, you cut down the trees, which destroyed our habitat. It is your human activities that push us to the edge of extinction. My family and I are living in hunger and fear all day long.

I strongly appeal to you to protect us but not to hurt us. It¡¯s our hope that we can live in harmony with each other.

Looking forward to your concern for us!

Yours,

South China Tiger

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 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, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore 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 reliably to convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. 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 while 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.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿Location: Worlds of Fun is located off Highway 435 in Kansas City, Missouri.

History: Worlds of Fun was opened on May 26, 1973, at a cost of 25 million dollars. Loosely themed around the Jules Verne book, Around the World in Eighty Days, the park was founded by Hunt Midwest Company. In 1982, Hunt Midwest bought a nearby waterpark, Oceans of Fun. In 2013, Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun were combined to a one-ticket admission, providing all guests with access to(½øÈë) 235 acres of amusement and water rides.

Hours: Worlds of Fun is open from April through Halloween.

Tickets: Buy and print online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.

Reservations: World of Fun sells ¡° Fast Lane¡± cards that save rides¡¯ time by allowing them to avoid the majority of wait for most of rides and attractions including Mamba, Plowler, and Patriot. Ride as many times as you want all day long.

Strategy(²ßÂÔ): Most visitors tend to(Ç÷ÏòÓÚ) begin in the day with Prowler, the hottest attraction in the park. Use that tendency to your advantage and head to the Patriot first. After that, try the Dragons. Then work your way back to the Prowler. After riding the Prowler, there is only one roller coaster, Mamba. Hit it next. If the park is not very crowded, you can ride Boomerang on the way to Mamba. After riding Mamba, head back for a ride on the Wolf. By then you will have tried most of the popular rides and attractions in the shortest possible time.

News: In 2014, Worlds of Fun is adding Steel Hawk, a ride that will take guests up 301 feet in the air and spin them at a 45-degree angle for a 60-second flight. Wait to have a try.

¡¾1¡¿When did Hunt Midwest¡¯s two parks start to share one ticket?

A. In 1973 B. In 1982

C. In 2014 D. In 2013

¡¾2¡¿With a ¡°Fast Lane¡± card, visitors can ________.

A. save some money

B. avoid lining up for long

C. buy tickets online

D. enjoy all the rides for free.

¡¾3¡¿What is talked about in the part of Strategy?

A. The most popular tour season.

B. The highest ride in the park.

C. The best visiting route.

D. The hottest attractions in the park.

¡¾ÌâÄ¿¡¿The word dream is probably heard most frequently from people in show business, where everyone dreams of standing under the spotlight and being somebody. But the truth is that most end up being nobodies. Hong Kong director Derek Yee¡¯s latest film¡° I Am Somebody¡± shows respect for these unknown extras(ȺÖÚÑÝÔ±)in the film industry.

In the film, Wan Guopeng, son of a woodcutter, comes a long way from the Northeast with only 1,000 yuan to the dream factory of the East to become an actor. In real life, when the young man was chosen by the director to play the leading role, he had only 20 yuan left but still hadn¡¯t considered giving up.

Famous Hong Kong actor Tony Leung remembered that 30 years ago, he was a salesman but knew that it was not the kind of life he wanted to live. ¡°Wan is exactly like me back then¡­Only when I was in an acting training course did I realize that what I wanted to be was an actor, not a star winning the best actor awards.¡±

Yee chose real nobodies to play themselves in the movie. Their strength was their deep understanding of the feelings of the characters they played. But the disadvantage was also obvious: They lacked acting skills. When emotional performances were needed, their expressions and moves seemed unnatural.

The entertainment industry might be the field with the most broken hearts and most efforts gone____Here luck, opportunity and physical appearance are probably much more important than hard work.

In the film, Qin Peijun, a survivor from a coal mine collapse(ú¿óÌ®Ëú), goes all out to take hold of every possibility to appear in the lens of the camera, even if only as an extra. However, it is obviously much harder for him to realize the dream of becoming a professional actor than for Wang Zhao, who is a lazy bone with a pretty face.

Some critical comments are directed at the sudden inversion(·´×ª) in the last part of the film. The two leading actors¡¯ happy endings seem to disagree with the film¡¯s realistic style. But anyway, this movie is not a documentary but a way to reinforce(Ó²»¯) that every brave heart deserves to have their dreams realized.

¡¾1¡¿Which of the following can best describe Wan Guopeng?

A. Determined. B. Careful.

C. Intelligent. D. Easy-going.

¡¾2¡¿Derek Yee chose real nobodies to play in the film because____.

A. he respected these people

B. they knew well about the characters

C. he needed emotional performances

D. they asked for less money

¡¾3¡¿What does the underlined phrase¡°in vain¡±in Paragraph 5 mean?

A. Wrongly. B. Secretly.

C. Without success. D. Without consideration.

¡¾4¡¿What¡¯s the main idea of this passage?

A. It¡¯s OK to be nobody.

B. It¡¯s really hard to become a successful actor.

C. Live the dreams.

D. Be a person of dreams.
