A A D B
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions.
This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions
have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the
eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on
emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the
same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal
emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example,
signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan,
Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages
north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic
emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences
across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so-called display rules. In many Asian
cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses, especially negative ones, while many

American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions
usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial
expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to
facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s
faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set
of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions
seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross-cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses
carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed
by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise.
Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
Question 26: According to the passage, we respond to others by______.
A. watching their actions
B. observing their emotional expressions
C. observing their looks
D. looking at their faces
Question 27: Many studies on emotional expressions try to answer the question whether ______.
A. raising the eyebrows has similar meaning to rounding the mouth
B. eyebrow raising means the same in Minneapolis and Madagascar
C. different cultures have similar emotional expressions
D. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar
Question 28: The word “evolved” in line 3 is closest in meaning to______.
A. reduced
B. increased
C. simplified
D. developed
Question 29: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of______.
A. investigators on universal emotional expressions
B. researchers on universal language

C. researchers who can speak and understand many languages
D. communicators good at expressing emotions
Question 30: The biggest difference lies in_________.
A. how long negative emotions are displayed
B. how intensive emotions are expressed
C. how emotional responses are controlled
D. how often positive emotions are shown
Question 31: Unlike American children, Asian children are taught to_______.
A. display their emotions openly
B. control their emotions
C. conceal their positive emotions
D. change their behaviour
Question 32: The phrase “This evidence” in line 20 refers to________.
A. the fact that children are good at recognizing others’ emotions
B. human facial expressions
C. a biological underpinning for humans to express emotions
D. the fact that children can control their feelings
Question 33: The best title for the passage is_______.

In the past, both men and women were expected to be married at quite young ages. Marriages
were generally arranged by parents and family, with their children having little chance to say no in the
matter. In the past it was not surprising to find that a bride and groom had only just met on the day of their
engagement or marriage.
In modern Vietnam, this has changed completely as people choose their own marriage-partners based
on love, and in consideration primarily to their own needs and wants. Moreover, early marriage is quite illegal.
The traditional Vietnamese wedding is one of the most important of traditional Vietnamese occasions.
Regardless of westernization, many of the age-old customs practiced in a traditional Vietnamese wedding
continue to be celebrated by both Vietnamese in Vietnam and overseas, often combining both western and
eastern elements. Besides the wedding ceremony, there is also an engagement ceremony which takes place
usually half a year or so before the wedding. The number of guests in attendance at these banquets is huge,
usually in the hundreds. Several special dishes are served. Guests are expected to bring gifts, often money,
which the groom and bride at one point in the banquet will go from table to table collecting.
Question 22: In the past, _______.
A. parents had no right to interfere their children's marriage

B. Vietnamese couples were free to make a decision on the marriage
C. Vietnamese marriage was decided by parents and family
D. getting married at an early age was not allowed

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

answer to each of the questions from 33 to 40.
You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions.
This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions
have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But does raising the
eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as it does in Madagascar? Much research on
emotional expressions has centered on such questions.
According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak and understand substantially the
same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal
emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example,
signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people in such far-flung places as Argentina, Japan,
Spain, Hungary, Poland, Sumatra,the United States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea, and the Eskimo villages
north of Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least seven basic
emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences
across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays – the so-called display rules. In many Asian
cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses, especially negative ones, while many
American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however, emotions
usually show themselves, to some degree, in people’s behavior. From their first days of life, babies produce facial
expressions that communicate their feelings.
The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young children pay close attention to
facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people’s
faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set
of human emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over a century ago, some emotional expressions
seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross-cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses
carry different meanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose might be conveyed
by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicate disgust, while in China it can signify surprise.
Likewise, a grin on an American face may indicate joy, while on a Japanese face it may just as easily mean
embarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.
Question 33: According to the passage, we respond to others by______.
A. looking at their faces
B. observing their emotional expressions

A. rounding the mouth has the same meaning in Minneapolis and Madagascar

B. simplified
C. developed
D. reduced
Question 36: Paul Ekman is mentioned in the passage as an example of______.
A. investigators on universal emotional expressions
