The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene.Hugh Grant bumps into Julia Roberts and pours orange juice all over her.After the bump,Grant repeatedly says,“I am so sorry.I am so sorry.”
1 If Roberts’ character were from Britain,then she would probably apologise repeatedly as well—even if the bump were not her fault.But this doesn’t happen in the film,as Roberts is from the US.
A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologise when they bump into someone in the street—regardless of whether they are responsible or not.In fact,we Britons use “sorry” in many situations.For example,if we mishear someone,we say “Sorry ” The person we are talking to will also apologise by replying:“No,I am sorry!” 2
Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
3 Traditionally,“sorry” was used to express deep regret,but a survey in 2017 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
4 Mark Tyrell,a psychology writer in the UK,thinks our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system.We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologise for not being the working class,but also for really being the upper class.
5 For example,if you bump into someone,they might get angry.To avoid this,we instantly say “Sorry!”.True manners are about being considerate and the modern day hobby with apologising shows that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were.The word has lost some of its meaning.Do you see my point Sorry,it might just be a British thing.
A.Why are Britons so sorry
B.British people are sincere while saying sorry.
C.How we use “sorry” has changed.
D.Saying sorry when necessary is a good manner.
E.This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
F.Another theory is that we apologise to avoid confrontation (冲突).
G.His actions in this scene are very British.

Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry (模仿)allows us to experience other people's feelings. If we can't mirror another person's face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences.
In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in social situations copy others' facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if you're with a friend who looks sad, you might "try on" that sad face yourself without realizing you're doing so. In "trying on" your friend's expression, it helps you to recognize what they're feeling by connecting it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds.
"You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you produce some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important thing that results in is that you take the appropriate action—you approach the person or you avoid the person," Niedenthal says. "Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your understanding of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means."
A person's ability to recognize and "share" others' emotions can be prevented when they can't mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis(瘫痪) from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for people who suffer from birth, because if you've never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed another ways of interpreting emotions. Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of that part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders.

语法填空
1.推理判断题。根据第一段倒数第二句“If we can't mirror another person's face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions.(如果我们不能模仿另一个人的脸,这就限制了我们阅读和合理反应他们表情的能力)”可推知,面部模仿有助于对别人的面部表情作出合理反应。故选C项。
2.段落大意题。第二段第一句提到“威斯康辛大学的社会心理学家Paula Niedenthal和Adrienne Wood在他们的论文中描述了人们在社交场合是如何通过模仿别人的面部表情来产生情绪反应的”,接着举例说明,第三段内容Niedenthal 进一步解释“你会反思自己的情感感受,然后做出某种认可判断,而最重要的结果是你采取了适当的行动——接近那个人或者避开那个人”,所以文章第2段和第3段解释了人们是如何模仿别人的面部表情的。故选B项。
3.细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二句“Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition.( Niedenthal接下来想要探索的是,大脑中哪些部分的功能有助于面部表情识别)”可知,下一步研究的重点是大脑中哪些部分帮助识别面部表情。故选D项。
4.推理判断题。通读全文,并结合第一段第二句“Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry (模仿)allows us to experience other people's feelings.(越来越多的证据显示,面部模仿的本能使我们让我们同情甚至是体验别人的感受)”可知,文章主要解释了人们是如何进行面部模仿的,所以目的是解释面部模仿。故选D项
