THE human face doesn’t lie. We show sadness and happiness through our expressions. But exactly how many emotions can our face make?Scientists used to believe we had six basic facial expressions that tell others how we feel: sad, happy, surprised, fearful, angry and disgusted (惡心的).

But a new study shows that our faces can do more than we think. Scientists from Ohio State University found out that humans can actually make 21 different facial expressions after studying how people move their facial muscles.

The scientists took pictures of 230 volunteers making faces in response to different cues (提示).? These cues included phrases like “you just got some great unexpected news”, which produced a “happily surprised” reaction from volunteers. Other cues included “you smell a bad odor (氣味)”, which caused “disgusted” faces.

In total, around 5,000 pictures were taken of the volunteers. The scientists then studied similarities of these pictures using a computer expression database. This helped them to define a facial expression. “That tells us that these 21 emotions are expressed in the same way by nearly everyone,” said DrAleix Martinez to The Daily Telegraph. For example, to express surprise, 92 percent of volunteers widened (睜大) their eyes and opened their mouth. And 99 percent raised their cheeks (臉頰) and smiled to show being happy.

We are not always aware of our facial expressions, which can hold clues to how we really feel. So these results may have a big impact (影響) on medical treatment. If doctors were able to recognize more complex (復(fù)雜的) emotions, it would help doctors treat patients suffering from certain diseases.

The corridor (走廊) windows at the Hangzhou Entel Foreign Language School look a bit different from other schools. They are all decorated (裝飾) with beautiful paper cutting art. But they are not just for decoration. They are also to stop birds from flying into windows.

Chen Zitong, 14, a Junior 3 student at the school came up with the idea. In early January, she wrote a letter to the headmaster and suggested this. She often saw birds fly into the clean windows and get hurt. After some online research, she found this solution. “Some people decorated windows with stickers (貼紙) or posters. Then I thought of replacing (代替) them with our traditional paper cutting art,” Chen said.

To Chen’s surprise, the headmaster took her advice. The school organized a paper cutting art competition. Students’ works that got awards were pasted on the corridor windows.

In fact, there have been paper cutting art classes since 2011. “We have classes once a week for a month to teach paper cutting,” said Fan Ming, an art teacher. The teaching building even has a display (展示) wall to show students’ works.

Through the class, Shi Jiawei, 14, fell in love with the art of paper cutting. “It’s very fun. I can design my own patterns (圖案) and present interesting things through it,” she said. She created many works like bears and magpies (喜鵲).

Paper cutting also helps students become more patient. Wang Yiyou, 12, was once an active boy. But now, he can carefully design a delicate (精致的) paper cutting work with scissors (剪刀) and gravers (刻刀). “I am so proud that I can make it look perfect,” he said.
