2.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example,in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.we often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example,many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities).Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; frequently used to cover painful feelings,Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions (情感),but we should not attempt to"read"people from another culture as we would"read"someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.Rather,there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted.For example,in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends,Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits,we may make the mistake of"reading"the other person incorrectly.

28.What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?B
A.Love.
B.Joy.
C.Politeness.
D.Thankfulness
29.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that a smile canC.
A.show friendliness to strangers   
B.be used in the wrong places
C.be used to hide true feelings     
D.show personal habits
30.What should we do before attempting to"read"people?D
A.Learn about their relations with others.
B.Figure out what they will do next.
C.Find out about their past experience.
D.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
31.What would be the best title for the text?D
A.Cultural Differences          
B.Smiles and Relationships
C.Habits and Emotions         
 D.Facial Expressiveness.

In April 1945,my mother,uncle and grandmother were liberated.And it was those very socks and shoes that my mother wore as she walked some 28miles over two days to Bratislava on her walk to a new life.
To the unknown giver,I thank you.In the desperation of a cold and snowy land,when many hearts were closed and death was more likely than life,especially for Jews,you gave them hope and comfort.

10.If you have to be ugly,you might as well be the best at it.
A 10-year old mixed breed dog named"Quasi Modo"was awarded first place at the World's Ugliest Dog competition in June,2015.
Quasi,whose short spine makes her like a hyena,"epitomized(代表;體現(xiàn))excellence in ugliness,"Chief Judge Brian Sobel said.The dog won $1,500 for her owner.
This wasn't Quasi's first win.Last year,the spunky(生氣勃勃)Florida pup won second place,losing out to small,wild-eyed dog named Peanut.
Quasi's bio(簡(jiǎn)歷)says that despite the multiple birth drawback that contributes to her odd appearanc e,she is a happy dog who loves to run and play.She also works as an"ambassador for teaching people about acceptance and tolerance for things that are different",according to the bio.

"Though the press release initially identified Quasi as male,the dog is female."Andrian Guthrie,who worked at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control when Quasi lived there,told the Huffington Post in an email.

If you can't get enough of Quasi,you can keep up with her adventures on her Facebook page.

7.Trapped under six stories of ruins after the Haiti earthquake leveled his hotel,Dan Woolley believed he was going to die.But rather than give in to despair,the film-maker spent 65hours beneath the earth looking up ways t treat his injuries on his iPhone.He also wrote a moving diary for his family,thinking they would only read his last message of love and comfort after his death.Instead,he was pulled from the disaster after a week-and will soon be reunited with his family.
Mr.Woolley had travelled from America to Haiti with his colleague David Hames.Both had been working for charity.He was in the entrance-hall when the earthquake struck and just had time to dive into a comer before the building fell.Buried under tons of ruins,the film-maker downloaded a first aid application to his iPhone.He used the light from the iPhone to show him his injuries and diagnosed it properly as a broken leg.Then,he used the instructions from the app to treat the serious bleeding.The app advised him not to go to sleep if he felt he was going into shock.The resourceful Mr.Woolley set his phone alarm to go off every 20minutes to keep him awake.New technology has played a huge part.
Mr.Woolley used a small black notebook to write messages to his family.He had thought his relatives would read them after he was dead."I was in a big accident.Don't be upset at God,"he wrote,"I'm still praying that God will get me out,but He may not.But He will always take care of you."
Mr.Woolley was eventually located by a French rescue team and removed to the U.S.where he was reunited with his wife.Speaking after being flown to Miami for surgery,he said,"Boy,I cried.I wanted to use that time to do everything I could for my family.If it could be just to leave some notes that would help them in life,I would do that."
He is now looking forward to seeing his family.

A.he was looking for ways to survive
B.his iPhone was more than useful
C.he wanted to do something for his family
D.this might be his last messages of love
5.Which of the following statements is not wrong?D
A.Woolley was confident that he would survive.
B.Woolley was making a film when the earthquake broke out.
C.Woolley is now reconvening in a Haiti hospital.
D.Woolley tried to stay conscious under the ruins.
6.What is the most important factor in Woolley's survival?B
A.His beloved family.
B.The high technology.
C.His strong will.
D.The French rescue team.
7.What is the best title for the text?C
A.A Large Earthquake Hit Haiti
B.Strong Will Saved Woolley
C.A Man Used an iPhone to Survive

14.Four Essential Tips For You To Ease Homesickness
When home is far away,the sense of ease and belonging that so many people feel can transform into painful feelings of longing,commonly known as homesickness.Along with feelings of insecurity,loss of control and nervousness,physical effects,including sleep issues,tiredness and loss of appetite,are also caused by homesickness.(31)ECheck them out below:
●Realize that feeling homesick is 100 percent normal.
Almost everyone experiences homesickness when moving to a new place-some people might just be better at hiding it. (32)DHomesickness is a normal and evolutionarily healthy reaction.
●Make connections with new people in comfortable settings.
Feeling homesick when separated from loved ones motivates people to want to be with those supportive people.(33)GWhen making new connections,it's best to stick to the style that works for you in order to ease homesickness.
●(34)B
This point is vital and also one of the hardest to accomplish.Self-compassion is loving yourself just as you love the ones you care about.The most important step in practicing self-compassion is substituting negative,critical and,sometimes,automatic thoughts about yourself with thoughts that are more supportive and kind.
●Keep tabs on your negativity.
It's also useful to ask yourself how much of your homesickness is due to an event,such as being separated from loved ones,and how much is from how you're understanding a situation. (35)F A positive outlook on a situation can do wonders for your mood,but it often can be hard to practice.You can silence negative thoughts in many ways,including reciting positive mantras(禱文),keeping a journal or even taking a walk in a park.
If you're dealing with feelings of homesickness,remember you're not alone.Even though there's no place like home,give yourself some time and care,you might find yourself falling in love with a new place.

A.Learn to help others.
B.Practice self-compassion.
C.Being homesick is unnormal.
D.Being homesick is not a sign of personal shortcoming.
E.We gathered a few psychologist-backed tips to help ease homesickness.
F.Taking a step back is recommended,instead of falling into the trap of a negative outlook.
G.But keep in mind that everyone is different when it comes to forming those new relationships.
