Every kid wishes to be an adult. Do you remember playing house as a child—pretending to be a grown-up like your parents Did you imagine you were a doctor,a soldier or a teacher At that time,anything seemed more exciting than being young.But now some grown-ups become “kidults” (kid+adult),who participate in the culture and activities traditionally intended for children.　1　
Some kidults collect toys they once played with.　2　 It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big,Snoopy-shaped cushion (坐垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory (配件).
　3　 For example,Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover.That way,no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children’s book!
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society.Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure,childlike emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee Sojung,professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University.　4　 It could give children and their parents books,movies,and cartoon shows to enjoy together.He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh,a professor in London,explained that some kidults just refused to grow up.　5　 Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So,they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said.

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions,and a new report published online in Current Biology 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.“Westerners 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 been 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 pictures 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 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 the 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 these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion.Otherwise,when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures,Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
1.The discovery shows that Westerners 　　　.
A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth

“The grass looks greener on the other side of the fence(篱笆).”That’s an old saying in English.It means that other places often look better,more interesting than the place where you live.“Let’s go to KFC for dinner and then watch some Japanese cartoons!” We all know it:more and more Chinese kids love American and Japanese food and movies.Some people worry that young Chinese are beginning to feel that way.They see young Chinese ignoring Chinese culture and,instead,buying Japanese cartoon books,watching Korean soap operas and even celebrating western holidays.
Foreign books and soap operas are good,but Chinese writers and actors are just as good.As for holidays,Christmas is nice,but it can never have the meaning for Chinese that the Spring Festival has,and the West has nothing to compare with the Mid-Autumn Festival.China has lots of cool things in its culture:calligraphy,Beijing Opera,kung fu,and even Jay Chou!And let’s not forget the part of Chinese culture I like best:its friendliness.Not all countries are as warm as China.
It’s good to enjoy other cultures and to learn from them,but they can never replace your own culture.It’s good to look on the other side of the fence,but make sure you take a good long look.You will find that the grass isn’t always greener.
Although some people become worried about that,I don’t think they should.Will we get more powerful without learning from other countries Will Chinese people live more happily without American fast food Besides,it’s fun to learn about different cultures.Chinese kids can learn about other cultures and have fun,but they also need to learn more about their own culture.Be proud of Chinese culture and of being Chinese!

A.are ignoring our own culture
B.are foolish in learning our own culture
