Once upon a time, there was a boy who would go into the forest and gather food and herbal medicines (草药) with some of his fellows every spring. However, one year, a tiger showed up in the forest and no one dared go into the forest again.

   It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of clear similarities in the way different animals show the same feeling. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because such behavior patterns are inherited (遗传) rather than learned.

  Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and begin to tremble (颤抖)”suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out(伸出)their tongues”! Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting(侮辱)or expresses disgust.

  Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Disgust, contempt (蔑视) and suffering seem to be the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to express. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do. And psychologists (心理学家) such as E.G. Beier have also shown that some people often give the completely impression of how they feel. For example, they try to show love but in fact communicate dislike. Or when they want to show interest, they give the impression that they don’t care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In other words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movements may be the exact opposite of what for people understand.

According to the passage, even in different cultures the most easily recognized emotion is    .

       A.anger       B.dislike      C.happiness  D.surprise

Experiments show that easier understanding of words and gestures has something to do with your           .

       A.age and sex             B.love and cultural differences

       C.impressions about the speaker D.emotional state

When we communicate with people,        .

       A.we know exactly what they mean while they express their emotions

       B.we sometimes misunderstand each other

       C.we usually mislead them by expressing the opposite of our feeling

       D.it seems much mere difficult to understand body language than language

Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

       A.When we communicate our real emotions, we many cause misunderstanding to others.

       B.Different people in different cultures may have different ways to understand one gesture.

       C.Some people are likely to hide their real feelings and express them in the opposite way.

       D.What we say does always mean the same thing as the gestures we make.

The underlined word “disgust” in Paragraph 2 probably means “     ” in this passage.

       A.strong dislike   B.friendliness      C.love  D.sickness
