I Know Just How You Feel
Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel: the first visual dictionary of the human heart.
Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emotions into six types -- anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment.【46】Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin’s small group. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide.【47】The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.
The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism (孤独症), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors and teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an "emotion".【48】Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced to 412, from "afraid" to "wanting".
Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds.【49】The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone’s face. "It was really clear when the actors had got it right," says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD. "Although they were given some direction," says Ms Collis, "the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move.【50】" For example, when someone feels contempt, you can’t say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.
Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called "action units". These can be combined into more than 10,000 visible facial shapes. Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.
A. We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this.
B. These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it.
C. Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotional expressions.
D. They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by "I feel" or "he looks" or "she sounds".
E. He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognisable by anyone, from any culture.
F. Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions, such as words, would have been far less effective.

D
解析
前一句谈到了教授和他的研究团队第一次不得不定义情感,后面又谈到了用这些定义取得了什么成果。故中间那句话应该是给情感下定义,故选D。
