For example, in Japan, people often look to the eyes for emotio

17、nal cues, while Americans often look to the mouth, says researcher Masaki Yuki, a scientist at Hokkaido University in Japan. This could be because the Japanese, when talking with others, try to hide their emotions more than Americans do.In any case, the eyes are more difficult to control than the mo

18、uth, so they probably provide better cues about what a person feels even if he or she is trying to hide it.As a child growing up in Japan, Yuki was very interested in the pictures of famous Americans.“Their smiles looked strange to me,” Yuki said. “They opened their mouths too widely, and raised the

19、 corners of their mouths in an unusual way.”Japanese people will shy away from a public show of emotion, and seldom smile with their mouths, Yuki explained, because Japanese culture pays more attention to humbleness (谦卑) and emotional control.So when Yuki entered an American university and began com

20、municating with Americans by e-mail, he couldnt understand their use of emoticons (情感符) such as smiley faces :) and sad faces :(.“It took some time before I finally understood that they were faces,” he wrote in an e-mail.

24、gs.BA language on the moveFiliz Yilmaz works for a company in Istanbul and usually speaks Turkish at work. But when she goes to Germany or Brazil, she does not use German or Portuguese. She deals with people there in English. “I use English in Japan and Thailand,” she says. “English is the language

25、of international business.” So how did English get to be so popular? Why has this language spread so far? Part of the answer can be found in the character of the language. For one thing, its grammar is quite simple. It is also easy to learn the rules of English what is and is not allowed, or how the

26、 language works.To understand the development of English, we also have to look at the history. During the 1600s and 1700s, people from England sailed all over the world, taking their language to North America, Africa, India, and Australia. In the 1800s, England led the industrial revolution: New mac

27、hines were invented, factories were built, and London became the worlds great financial center. That made English the language of money. In the 1900s, it became the language of science and air travel, too. All through the 1900s, the United States grew in power and influence, and the English language

28、 grew right along with it.Then came the Internet. As Filiz Yilmaz remembers it, “People at my company realized that the Internet could be quite useful to us. But at first, everything online was in English. It gave us another reason to learn this language.” Some people used to see English only in the

29、 classroom, but now they need English, whenever they want to “surf the Net”. 40.

31、Filiz Yilmaz, the Internet makes English more popular than before because _.A. the Internet is very useful in our daily lifeB. the Internet is more popular than beforeC.

32、nted a National Youth Hero award for her bravery from the National American Legion Ladies Auxiliary Monday night.“It is very special for Evangelina to receive this award,” said Knight. “She is a member of our junior Auxiliary. She showed great character in what she did and that is great because youn

33、g women like her are our future leaders.”Castros grandmother, Angie Chavez, submitted the information for the award after learning about her selfless act during the tornado that hit Logan on March 23. “I am proud of her for getting this award,” said Evangelinas mother Connie Castro. “She was quick t

34、o act when she protected her family.”Castro and her sister, Christina Linde, and Lindes son, Valo, were leaving the Logan Food Market as the storm hit. Hail (冰雹) began to fall as Linde ran to unlock the car, while Castro stayed with the child in her arms in a phone box for protection. Linde opened t

35、he door and motioned Castro to run to the car.Once inside the car, Castro put Valo into a car seat and placed a blanket over him. Then, as the car was backing up, the pressure from the storm caused the windows to blow out, sending pieces of glass flying around the inside of the car. Castro threw her

36、self on top of Lindes child, acting as a human shield (盾牌) to prevent any glass from striking the baby. “I am so grateful to her and would do anything to repay her for what she did,” said Linde.“I did not have time to think,” said Castro. “It all happened so fast and all I could do was put myself ov
