How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was beca

22、use I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off - usually things of materialistic values, yet one ought to pretend thats not the point.As the 19th century English author Jane Austen famously wrote, “Nothin

23、g is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）.” The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for ones successes and be liked by others at the same time, according to scholars. In her article titled Why do people hate humblebragging? published in Psychology Today, psychologi

31、gy explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Wes

32、terners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had bee

33、n 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 pict

34、ures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, 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

35、 the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions, Jack said. Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use th

36、e eyes more and mouth less. In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified(多样性) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when communicating emotions ac

37、ross cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.28. The discovery shows that Westerners _. A. consider facial expressions universally reliable B. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficult

The Eye as the Window to the Soul. B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills. C. How to Increase Cross-cultural

The first night, the man got chocolate. The car started right away. The second night , he got strawberry and again the car star

45、ted right up. The third night he bought vanilla and the car failed to start. There must be a reason why the mans car wouldnt start when he bought vanilla ice-cream. What was it? After doing more research into the case, the engineer eventually found out the cause. Vanilla ice-cream was the most popul

46、ar flavor and was on display in a little case near the express check out, while the other flavors were in the back of the store and took more time to choose and check out.

82、Yours,Li Hua 阅读A【答案】21. D 22. C 23. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇旅行指南。介绍了来柬埔寨旅行夜间时的注意事项，提醒游客注意当地礼仪和自身安全，并提供了一些紧急求救电话。【详解】推理判断题。由文章第一段的“You can guarantee yourself a great night by being cool and smart by following some basic rules:(你可以通过遵循一些基本的规则来保持冷静和聪明，让自己度过一个美妙的夜晚)”可知，文章主要介绍了几条基本规则来让游客保持冷静和聪明，从而保证游客度过一个美好的夜晚，文章重点

83、是保证游客在柬埔寨暹粒的夜间安全，故D最适合，ABC都未涉及到夜间安全。故选D。推理判断题。由注意事项的最后一点“ Negotiate your fare to avoid problems later.”可知，应该要提前协商车费避免后续问题，negotiate对应C项的bargain，由文章第一段可知，出现盗窃不必着急报警，因为当地人是十分骄傲的，故A错误，由后文的注意事项可知，一些物品最好不要放在背上，B错误，D项无中生有。故选C。推理判断题。由文章第一段的“You can guarantee yourself a great night by being cool and smart b

84、y following some basic rules:(你可以通过遵循一些基本的规则来保持冷静和聪明，让自己度过一个美妙的夜晚)”文章介绍了在柬埔寨暹粒旅行夜间安全的注意事项，是给游客看的，所以这篇文章应该是来自一个便携的小册子，可以让游客随时查看的。故选A。阅读 B【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“凡尔赛文学”。【24题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Known as humblebragging, it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. “I have too many

85、houses. How can I decide which one to decorate?” and “I thought I lost weight this morning. So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night” are some examples of Versailles literature. The intention is to show off - usually things of ma

86、terialistic values, yet one ought to pretend thats not the point.（这被称为谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸。“我的房子太多了。我怎么决定要装饰哪一个呢?和“我以为今天早上我瘦了。”当我意识到是因为我把昨晚男朋友送给我的巨大钻石戒指摘下来的时候，我非常失望。”这些都是凡尔赛文学的例子。其目的是炫耀通常是一些物质价值的东西，但人们应该假装这不是重点。）”可知，“凡尔赛文学”是指谦虚自夸，是一种伪装成抱怨的自夸，其目的是炫耀通常是一些物质价值的东西。B项：（啊呀有五个人排着队想和我约会，我都不知道约哪个好）是教科书式的“凡尔赛文学”。
