In Your Face
Why is this man so angry? We don’t know the reason, hut we can see the emotion in his face. Whatever culture you have, you can understand the feeling that he is expressing.
Forty years ago, psychologist Paul Ekman of the University of California, San Francisco, became interested in how people’s face show their feelings. He took photographs of Americans expressing various emotions. Then he showed them to the Fore people, who live in the jungle in New Guinea. Most of the Fore had never seen foreign faces, but they easily understood American’s expressions of anger, happiness, sadness, disgust, fear, and surprise.
Then Ekman did the same experiment in reverse. He showed pictures of Fore faces to Americans, and the results were similar. Americans had no problems reading the emotions on the Fore people’s faces. Fkman’s research gave powerful support to the theory that facial expressions for basic emotions are the same everywhere. He did more research in Japan, Brazil, and Argentina, and got the same results.
According to Ekman, these six emotions are universal because they are built into our brains. They developed to help us deal with things quickly that might hurt us. Some emotional triggers are universal as well. When something suddenly comes into sight, people feel fear, because it might be dangerous. But most emotional triggers are learned. For example, two people might smell newly cut grass. One reason spent wonderful summers in the country as a child, so the smell makes him happy. The other person remembers working very hard on a farm and being hungry, so he feels sad.
Once we make an emotional association in our brain, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to change it. "Emotion is the least changeable part of the brain. " says Ekman. But we can learn to manage our emotions better. For instance, we can be more aware of things that make us angry, and we can think before we react.
There are many differences between cultures, in their languages and customs. But a smile is exactly the same everywhere.
Americans get angry more often than the Fore people from New Guinea.
选项
A、Right
B、Wrong
C、Not mentioned
答案
C
解析
题意:美国人比新几内亚的Fore人更容易经常生气。关键词是Americans和Fore people。依据此关键词,可在文中第二段和第三段找到相关叙述。第二段提到埃克曼拍下美国人表达不同情绪时的面部表情,然后把这些照片拿给生活在新几内亚丛林中的人看。有多种表情他们很容易看懂。第三段提到,埃克曼做了相反的研究,将Fore人的照片给美国人看,得到了类似的结果。但是文中并没有提到美国人是不是更经常生气,故此说法为“未提及”的。
