The Battle of Gettysburg
One of the most important battles of the American Civil War occurred around the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, from July 1 to July 3, 1863 What began as a search for
shoes by the Confederate Army quickly escalated into a major battle As the Confederate soldiers sought new shoes, they unexpectedly encountered Union cavalry stationed west of
the town at Willoughby Run, and the battle began After much fighting and heavy casualties
on both sides, the Confederates pushed the Union forces back through the town of
Gettysburg, where they regrouped south of the town along the high ground near a cemetery Confederate General Robert E Lee ordered General R.S Ewell to seize the high ground from the battle - weary Union soldiers "if practical.” Ewell hesitated in the attack, giving the

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know
how to respond to them Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations
Trang 10and to convey our intentions to others But does raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same “facial language" Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra, the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages north of Artic Circle Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise There are, however, huge differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones- while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly Regardless
of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people's
behavior From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too Very young children pay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at
reading emotions on people's faces This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for
our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries Cross-cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry different meanings in different cultures For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean embarrassment Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions
Trang 11Question 43: Unlike American children, Asian children are encouraged to .
A display their emotions openly B conceal their positive emotions
C control their emotions D change their behaviour

Question 45: The phrase "this evidence” refers to .

D the fact that children are good at recognizing others' emotions
Question 46: Young children .
A make amazing progress in controlling their emotions
B take time to control their facial expressions
C are sensitive towards others' emotions
D spend a long time learning to read others' emotions
Question 47: The biggest difference lies in .
A how often positive emotions are shown
B how emotional responses are controlled
C how intensive emotions are expressed
D how long negative emotions are displayed
