问题     Are you always sure you know what people mean when they try to describe their feelings to you? We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be interpreted in different ways.
    It is true that a smile means the same thing in any language. So【41】. laughter or crying. There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the【42】 feeling. Tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably【43】such behavior patterns are inherited rather than【44】.
    Fear is another emotion that is shown in【45】the same way all over the world. In Chinese and in English fiction, a phrase like "he went pale and began to tremble" suggests that the man is【46】very afraid or has just had a very nasty shock. However, "he opened his eyes wide" is used to suggested anger in Chinese【47】in English it conveys surprise. In Chinese surprise can be described in a phrase like "they stretched【48】their tongues". Sticking out your tongue in【49】is an insulting gesture or expresses disgust.
    Even in the same【50】, people differ【51】their ability to interpret and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men【52】recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Disgust, contempt and suffering seem to【53】the most difficult emotions for people everywhere either to recognize or to【54】. Other studies have【55】that older people usually find【56】easier to interpret body language the way (people stand or move etc. ) than younger people【57】. And psychologists such as E. G. Beier have also shown that some people frequently give completely the wrong impression of【58】they feel. For instance, they try to show affection but in fact actually communicate dislike. Or when want to show interest, they give the impression that they don’t care. This can happen even among close friends and members of the same family. In【59】words, what we think we are communicating through language, voice, face and body movement may be the exact【60】of what other people understand.
