People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions. A new report explains why. Jack and his colleagues from University of Glasgow discovered that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. Jack said, "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect the mouth."
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
The tone of the passage is______.

C
解析
推断题。文章首先指出了科学研究的一项最新发现——东方人比西方人更难识别人的面部表情,并解释了原因。之后具体介绍了这项研究的过程、结果及原因:东方人主要关注眼睛,而西方人关注的是包括眼睛和嘴在内的整个面部表情。最后总结了不同的文化背景使人理解他人情感的方式也不尽相同。由此可见这篇文章的表达口吻是客观的。故选C。
