4、A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions （情感）. The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard, such as Japan, focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions. Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed, such as the United States, the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.

"These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,” said University of Alberta researcher Dr. Takahiko Masuda. "A person's culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."

These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons （情感符号）, which are used to convey a writer's emotions over email and text messaging. The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn, while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons :） and :-） show a happy face, whereas the emoticons : （ or : -（ show a sad face. However, Japanese tend to use the symbol （ ‘ ‘ ） to indicate a happy face, and （ ;_; ）to indicate a sad face.

"We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person's eyes when determining emotion, as eyes tend to be quite subtle （微妙的）," said Masuda. "In the United States, where open emotion is quite common, it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person's face."

3、Someone asked me this week if I thought we really can have "at all". My immediate answer was "of course", but after thinking it over, I concluded that it depends on a lot of things. In my opinion, the answer of whether or not you can have "it all" has to vary from person to person because we are all so different, and everyone has a differing definition （定义）of "it all". In fact, I believe that even the same individual’s definition of "it all" varies over their life. Most babies believe they have "it all" when they are in the arms of their mommy enjoying a good meal. That’s all it takes! But, as that baby matures, their definitions become more complex, and finding "it all" becomes increasingly a private matter.

I have learned a lot of important life lessons during my search to have "it all". It began in Junior High School, when to have "it all" meant having my own room, getting HBO, and being on the "A" volleyball team at school. And, yes, I achieved those goals and had "it all". At least for a little while. Because the first lesson I learned about having "it all" is that as soon as you get "it all", you want more!

In High School, I thought I only needed one thing to have "it all". I wanted so badly to be a member of the Madrigal Singers, a famous choir sponsored by our school. I finally worked up the nerve to audition（试唱）, despite the fact that no one had ever told me I had a special singing talent of that my voice was unique. At least, until my audition, when the director of the choir had no problem telling me how LITTLE talent I had! When I didn’t make the choir, I learned that if my definition of having "it all" means having something that isn’t a god-given gift, I will always be defeated. If, however, I choose to pursue goals that fit with the talents I have, the chance to have "it all" is unlimited!

1．What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A．How we can have "it all".

B．Everyone has a differing definition of "it all".

C．The author’s own experience in having "it all".

D．Whether we can have "it all" depends on a lot of things.

2．What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

A．People just can’t get satisfaction from having "it all".

B．People can have "it all" only when all the goals are met.

C．It is hard to get a permanent sense of having "it all".

D．It is easy for the young to get a feeling of having "it all".

3．By his experience of audition for the choir, the author intends to tell us .

A．one shouldn’t be discouraged if one fails in having "it all".

B．having "it all" can’t go beyond one’s own talents

C．one’s chance of having "it all" is unlimited

D．having "it all" is just a beautiful fantasy

4．The author believes that .

A．the same person always has the same definition of having "it all"

B．different people have a different definition of having "it all"

C．not all people can have "it all"

D．having "it all" takes treat efforts

A．the author has had "it all" in his life

B．the author doesn’t believe that people can have "it all"

C．the author has a better idea of having "it all" than before

26、Forget Miami, Los Angeles and New York. The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to back it up. Among all genres（种类）,Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N. C．to Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.

Wilson says there are two major reasons for the increase. One is simply the Hispanic（说西班牙语国家的） population's increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companies—whether dealing in music or not—are addressing the Latin consumer at a corporate （公司的） level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handleman's suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.

Besides, it also results from economic development. It goes something like this: More often than not, a city or country with a seeming important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Latin. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music．When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes it's a cable TV show or a small TV station.

Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music．

1．The passage mainly tells readers _____________.

A．that more and more Americans like Latin music

B．what makes Latin music develop fast in American market

C．why Latin music becomes Americans' favorite music

D．that Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans

2．The underlined word "skyrocketing" in the first paragraph means________.

A．changing very quickly B．disappearing slowly

C．recovering slowly D．increasing very quickly

3．According to the third paragraph, which shows the right relations among the following things?

①economic development ②more Latin workers

③shops' stock of Latin music ④local radio station

⑤small TV station ⑥the development of Latin music

4．Suppose that passage doesn't finish, which of the following may be discussed next?

A．The variety of Latin music in America．

B．The economic development in Hispanic area．

C．The historic development of Mexican music．

D．The driving forces of regional Mexican music
