Read the following passage then mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from.

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 and 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

A observing their looks C watching their actions

A different cultures have similar emotional expressions

C are not popular everywhere

B do not convey the same emotions in various cultures

Read the following passage carefully, then mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

To a European, money means power, the freedom to do as he likes, which also means that, consciously or unconsciously, he says: “I want to have as much money as possible myself and others

to have as little money as possible.”

In the United States, wealth was also acquired by stealing, but the real exploited victim was not a human being but poor Mother Earth and her creatures who were ruthlessly plundered It is true that the Indians were expropriated or exterminated, but this was not, as it has always been in Europe,

a matter of the conqueror seizing the wealth of the conquered, for the Indian had never realized the potential riches of his country It is also true that, in the Southern states, men lived on the labor of

slaves, but slave labor did not make them fortunes; what made slavery in the South all the more

inexcusable was that, in addition to being morally wicked, it didn’t even pay off handsomely

Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must

be his; he was either lazy or inefficient What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as proof of his manhood; once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away In no society in history have rich

men given away so large a part of their fortunes A poor American feels guilty at being poor, but less

guilty than an American renter who had inherited wealth but is doing nothing to increase it; what can the latter do but take to drink and psychoanalysis?

Question 41 Which of the following can be concluded from the first paragraph?

A Money is made either consciously or unconsciously

B Those who have a lot of money enjoy real freedom

C Some European acquire money and power without even being conscious of it

D Some people not only want to get rich but wish others to be poor

Question 42 To an American, money means _.

A proof of ability and manhood

B "proof of ability and manhood" and "diligence and efficiency"

C diligence and efficiency

D The freedom to do whatever he likes

Question 43 The author seems to believe that the natural resources in the U.S are _.

A rich B on the increase C poor D limited

Question 44 In the passage, the word “fortunes” (Paragraphs 2 and 3) is used twice What does it

mean?

A good opportunities B power C wealth D luck

Question 45 In the author’s opinion, an American renter _.

A will take to drink if he does nothing to increase his wealth

B should feel more guilty than a poor American

C should feel content with this inherited wealth

D is even lazier and more inefficient than a poor American
