　　Passage One

　　Several decades ago，the US sociologists went so far as to develop a series of universal facial im.ages supposed to represent the seven basic human emotions：happiness，sadness，surprise，fear，dis-gust，anger and neutrality.But now，a new study by rcsear(•hers at the University of Glasgow indicatesthat these standardized facial images aren’t so universal after all.

　　For the study，the Scottish researchers found 1 3 Western Caucasians(mainly Europeans)and 1 3 East Asians(mostly Chinese students).The volunteers wel e shown the standardized facial images and asked to identify the emotions being expressed.At the same time，the researchers electronically moni.tored the eye movements of the volunteers.

　　According to the results，published in the journal Current Biology，the Asian participants had a harder time than the Caucasians telling the difference between a face meant to look fearful compared with one showing surprise，and a face supposedly expressing disgust compared with one displaying anger.“This strongly suggests that the meanings of facial expressions ale different across culture.”

　　says Rachael Jack，who led the study.

　　The study also showed that the volunteers focused on different parts of the face in their efforts to understand the underlying emotions.“Westerners look at both the eyes and the mouth to the same degree，yet Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.This means that Easterners have diffi-cuhies distinguishing facial expressions that are similar around the eyes.”Ms Jack says.The faces representing fear and surprise“both have big，wide open eyes，while the mouths are very different.”

　　She notes.“It would be dimcult to distinguish between the tw0…if you didn’t look at the mouth.”

　　So why would different cultures express emotions in different ways?Ms Jack thinks it may be considered impolite in some Asian cultures to display certain emotions in an obvious manner，and that they use more subtle ways to express them.In particular，muscle movements around their eyes could be more important to expressing feelings than over-expressive mouth movements，expressing why the Asian participants focused on the eyes，she says.

　　21.We can learn from paragraph l that the study__________.

　　A.suggests different peoples use the same,facial expressions to show their emotions
