What does your face say?
How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face? Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?
New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.
Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions — happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgow’s work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the
same.
So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.
“We said we don’t know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”
With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).
What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.

When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope can run away from a lion. In the wilderness, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.
Over millions of years of evolution, plants have developed their own defence system(防御系统). Chemicals are wildly used for survival（生存）. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits distasteful or poisonous(有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree’s leaves, the amount of poison increases in the other leaves. “It’s like the damaged leaves telephoning the others telling them to fight together against the enemy, ” he said.
The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the surrounding 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison within 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees’ leaves, it will die.
Every species of plant or tree is good at the production of a particular set of chemicals. A herbivore that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have developed not only individual defence system, but also shared it with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.
1.From the first 2 paragraphs,we can learn that________
A. plants can do nothing against their enemies.
B. Chemicals are quite useful for plants to survive.
C. An antelope can always run away from a strong lion.
D. Leaves,roots,flowers and fruits of plants are poisonous.
2.If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree’s leaves,the tree can________
A. kill the animals with special smell.
B. tell other trees to come to protect it.
C. warn other trees against the animals on the phone.
D. send defence messages to the neighboring plants.
3.The word “herbivore” in the 5th paragraph probably means animals which ____.
A. produce poison
B. live on small animals
C. like to eat rabbits
D. feed on plants or grass
4.The last paragraph of the passsage suggests that this kind of defence system is_____
A. bad for animals
B. good for forests
C. helpful to some animals
D. harmful to forests.
5.The passage is mainly about______
A. the example of protecting forests
B. the balance between animals and plants

The Chongyang Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month and is also called the Double Ninth Festival. As both the month and the day are nine, it got this name. To celebrate the day,
