21、 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.Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect(忽略）the mouth.According to

22、 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 been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.The researchers studied cu

31、 they had 6 months to make a difference.Now Jerry had read the research and it was clear that big issues such as poverty and water cleanliness were major factors.Jerry put these findings into a bucket(楠）he calledtrue but useless.He wasnt about to change poverty or how clean Vietnams water was.Instea

33、med to know of some families where the kids were doing much better than most.So he visited these families and observed how the mothers fed their children.Over time a pattern came into view.Mothers of children with a healthy weight did four things differently from the rest.What happens next illustrat

34、es Jerry Sternins talent.Instead of racing down the street screamingabout his findings and advocating everyone with malnourished kids adopting these four behaviors, Sternin identified 50 families in 14 villages who could benefit and then took groups of 10 mothers to cook with the mothers with the he

35、althy kids.They practiced together and learned a new way of behaving.After 6 months 65%of the children were better nourished and stayed that way.Throughout the 90sthis approach benefited 2.2 million children in 265 villages and became the standard approach to fixing child malnutrition in Vietnam.28.

39、rd world,it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes.He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to star breathing.Oliver fought his first battle without much assistance from the two people present at his birth.Onewas an old woman,who was nearly always drunk,and the other

40、 was a busy local doctor,who was notpaid enough to be very interested in Oliver s survival._However,Oliver managed to draw his first breath,and then announced his arrival.to the rest of the workhouse by crying loudly.His mother raised her pale young face from the pillow and whispered,Let me see the

41、child,and die.The doctor turned away from the fire,where he had been warming his hands.You must not talk about dying yet,he said to her kindly.He gave her the child to hold.Lovingly,she kissed the baby on its forehead with her cold white lips,then stared wildly around the room,fell back-and died.Poo

42、r dear! said the nurse,hurriedly putting a green glass bottle back in the pocket of her long skirt.The doctor began to put on his coat.The baby is weak and will probably have difficulties,he said. If so,give it a little milk to keep it quiet.Then he looked at the dead woman.The mother was a goodlook

43、ing girl.Where did she come from?She was brought here last nightreplied the old woman.She was found lying in the street.Shed walked some distance,judging by he shoes,which were worn to pieces.Where she came from,where she was going to,or what her name was,nobody knows.The doctor lifted the girls lef

46、t to a specialbaby farmnearby.There,he and thirty other children rolled around the floor all day,without the inconvenience of too much food or too much clothing.Mrs Mann,the old woman wholooked after them,was very experienced.She knew what was good for children,and a full stomach was very dangerous

47、to their health.She also knew what was good for herself,so she kept for her own use the money that she was given for the childrens food.The board responsible for the orphans sometimes checked on the health of the children,but they always sent the beadle,a kind of local policeman.to announce their vi

48、sit the day before.So whenever the board arrived,of course,the children were always neat and clean.This was the way Oliver was brought up.Consequently,at the age of nine he was a pale,thin child and short for his age.But despite frequent beatings by Mrs Mann,his spirit was strong,which was probably

49、the reason why he managed to reach the age of nine at all.On Oliver s ninth birthday,Mr Bumble,the beadle,came to the house to see Mrs Mann.Through the front window Mrs Mann saw him at the gate,and turned quickly to the girl who worked with her.Quick!Take Oliver and those others upstairs to be washe
