13．Playing a violin with three strings
On Nov.18，1995，Itzhak Perlman，the violinist，came on stage to give a concert．The audience sat quietly while he made his way across the stage to his chair and began his play．But this time，something went wrong．Just as he finished the first few bars，one of the strings on his violin broke．We thought that he would have to stop the concert．（25）Beyond everyone's expectation，he waited a moment，closed his eyes and then signaled （26）the conductor to begin again．
The orchestra began and he played with such passion and such power and such purity
（27）as they had never heard before．
Of course，anyone knows that no one （28）can play a harmonious work with just three strings．I know that，and you know that，（29）but that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that．When he finished，there was an awesome silence in the room．And then people rose and cheered．He smiled，wiped the sweat from his brow and then he said in a quiet，sacred tone，"You know，sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can still make with （30）what you have left．"
This powerful line has stayed in my mind ever since I heard it．And who knows？Perhaps that is the definition of life-not just for artists but for all of us．
He has prepared all his life to make music on a violin of four strings，but all of a sudden，in the middle of a concert，he finds himself with only three strings； so it is with three strings
（31）that he makes music，and the music he made that night with just three strings was more memorable than any that （32）hadbeenmade （make） before．

1．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 13Western Caucasian and 13East 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 did Westerners．"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．
