We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.
It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So does laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.
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 began to tremble" 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 their tongues!" Sticking out your tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.
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. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.
People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood because______.
选项
A、people of different ages may have different understanding
B、people have different cultures
C、people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way
D、people of different countries speak different languages
答案
B
解析
本题主要考查考生的推断能力及对细节的把握。答案对应最后一段,开头说“即使在相同的文化下,人们理解和表达情感的能力也会不一样。”这说明上面提到的是不同的文化传统会造成不同的理解。所以B是正确的。文章没有提到年龄的问题,因此A不入选。最后一段说女性通过脸部表情识别恐惧、生气、爱和高兴方面比男人要好,但没有说性别不同理解不同,所以C是错误的。文章没有提到语言的差异,D也不对。
