First, she had lost the baby she was carring and second, tests showed that she had diabetes.In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts(甜甜圈).Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her.Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begir.

Previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that bad been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.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, said, 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 Westemers. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection ” cultural difference in facial expressions, Jack said.“Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to cohvey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signts of human emotion.From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of hum emotion.Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across,Eastermers and Westemers will find themselves lost in translation.66.Whe discovery shows that Westerners .,A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouthB.consider facial expressions universally reliableC.observe the eyes and he mouth in different waysD.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions67.What were the people asked to do in the study?A.To make a face at each other.B.To get their faces impressive.C.To classify some face pictures.D.To observe the researchers faces.68.What does the underlined word they in Paragraph 6 refer to?A.The participants in the study.B.The researchers of the study.C.The errors made during the study.D.The data collected form the study.69.In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to .A.do translation more successfullyB.study the mouth more frequentlyC.examine the eyes more attentivelyD.read facial expressions more carectyly70.What can be the best title for the passage?A.The Eye as the Window to the SoulB.Cultural Differences in Reading EmotionsC.Effective Methods to Develop Social SkillsD.How to Increase Cross-cultural UnderstandingPart Writing(45 marks)Section A(10 marks)Erections:Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS FOR each answer. An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom leaning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeymansomeone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentices time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. Whats more, it offers apprentices an “earn while you learn” opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw fromDespite the advantages, apprentices are usully required to work during the day and phend classes at night ,which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off （下崗）if business for the employers is slow.Once thery have completed the qpprouiceship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go on to different companies or become self-employed contractors.
