Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example， in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion across cultures.For example， many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places （although this is less common in big cities）.Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places；some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough.In Southeast Asian cultures， a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions， but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture.The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions.
Rather， there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted.For example， in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do.When with friends， Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States.People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others.The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different.If we judge according to our own cultural habits，we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
1.What does the smile usually mean in America？（ ）
A.Love. B.Politeness.
C.Joy. D.Thankfulness.
2.The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can .（ ）
A.show friendliness to strangers
B.be used to hide true feelings
C.be used in the wrong places
D.show personal habits
3.What should we do before attempting to “read” people？（ ）
A.Learn about their relations with others.
B.Understand their cultural backgrounds.
C.Find out about their past experiences.
D.Figure out what they will do next.
4.What would be the best title for the text？（ ）
A.Cultural Differences
B.Smiles and Relationships

Suppose you are out shopping and come across an old friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on.You want to seem interested， so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”.To your surprise， though， this person angrily stops and says， “Sorry if I’m boring you！”
Where did this come from？ Clearly， your body language must have let out your inner feelings.The idea that verbal and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University’s Lucylle Armentano.As part of her study of communication in relationships， Armentano’s research also examined communication channels between people meeting for the first time.
To test the role of verbal-nonverbal mismatch on emotional communication， Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers.The research team created videotapes of a fellow Yale student expressing nervousness in his words， bodily gestures， or both.The bodily gestures included running his hands through his hair， grabbing his arm， and facially expressing uneasiness.The key question was whether the other participants， another 82 Yale students， would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting.They needed to give their responses.
Turning to the findings， those nonverbal cues （提示） for nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues.Surprisingly， helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.
Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you’re interacting with others.Generally， when someone is speaking to you， you want to look like you’re interested.Not only should you maintain eye contact， but you should keep your body still and face toward the other person.If you’re not trying to look interested， it may be more polite to say you have to be somewhere else.
5.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about？（ ）
A.The obvious advantages of body language.
B.The proper way to interact with old friends.
C.A situation where body language is necessary.
D.An example of a mismatch between verbal and nonverbal messages.
6.What were the 82 Yale students asked to do？（ ）
A.Try to win the nervous student’s trust.
B.Identify the types of body language.
C.Respond to the nervous student’s request.
D.Express nervousness in their words.
7.What played a more important role in helping win kindness from strangers？（ ）
A.Positive attitude to nervousness.
B.Good manners in front of others.
C.Sincere verbal expressions.
D.Nonverbal cues of nervousness.
8.What is the purpose of the writer in the last paragraph？（ ）
A.Give some warnings.
B.Present some facts.
C.Offer some advice.
D.Make a prediction.
