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 . 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 expression 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 the 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 diifferences 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 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 expression .

GRANT TOUR OF AN AMERICAN HOME

Of all the aspirations which make up the American Dream , perhaps the most prominent is to own one’s own home.American are very proud of their homes and spend a great deal of time maintaining their houses and keeping the property in good condition . A man’s home is often called his castle , and the hours spent keeping his fortress safe and secure become one of his greatest pleasures .

If a home is in an especially fashionable neighborhood , the owners may consult an interior director to give the home a certain coordinated appearance . If there is a large back yard , great care may be spent in having it properly landscaped with exotic trees , shrubs and plants .

It is almost a certainty that should you be the first visitor to an American home , you will be taken on a grand tour of the premises . The owner will take great pride in showing to you the place he calls home . Every closet , every cabinnet and closed door will be opened so that you can actually see the extent and value of his home .

You will even be taken into the father’s den and the mother’s sewing room . These are special rooms for the respective man and woman of the house to insure their privacy . They may be off- limits to the rest of the family but , for the visitor they are open to scrutiny and inspection .

It is , of course , considered polite on the tour to comment favorably on each room picking out its most salient , important feature , such as the special view from the window , the vaulted ceiling in the foyer or the exotic choice of wallpaper in the bathroom .

The finished basement is a special cause for pride for the family with its exercise room , video games , carpenter shop and launderette . In most homes it is here that the family entertains itself in the evening while the rest of the house becomes more of a showcase . On your tour you may be reminded of the hours the owners had spent “ fixing up the house” so it would be “nice for the kids to bring over their friends”. You may even sense a feeling of competition in knowing that they have not only “kept up with the Jones” but have far surpassed them .

The tour will terminate after an hour or so somewhere on the back lawn next to the two- car air – conditioned garage where you may be treated to a snack and light refreshment .

Showing off one’s home is more than an exercise in vanity . It is a tribute to one’s accomplishments . It is a way of saying that a man has been a good provider for his family and that he has realized one of his dreams .
