(20)Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For instance, in American culture, the smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other functions.(20)A smile may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise true feelings. It is also a source of confusion across cultures.(21)For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even suspicious behavior. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong place: some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment.
Our faces reveal emotions and attitudes, but we should not attempt to "read" people from another culture as we would "read" someone from our own culture. The degree of facial expressiveness one exhibits varies among individuals and cultures. 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 restraints on the amount of nonverbal expressiveness permitted.
(22)If we judge people whose ways of showing emotions are different according to our own cultural norms, we may make the mistake of "reading" the other person incorrectly.
Now listen to the following recording and answer questions 20 to 22.
20. Which of the following descriptions about facial expressions is FALSE according to the passage?
21. According to the passage, what do many Russians think of Americans who smile at strangers in public places?
22. What suggestion does the passage give?
选项
A、The meaning of facial expressions depends on situations.
B、Facial expressions can cause misunderstanding across culture.
C、People from one culture may lack facial expressions because they experience less emotion.
D、Facial expressions may disguise true feelings.
答案
C
解析
推理题。短文中开头提到面部表情表达的含义由情况和关系而定,接着又说到微笑这一面部表情可以表达喜爱,传达礼貌或掩盖真实情感,但由于文化的不同,微笑也会让人困惑。紧接着举例说明,四个选项中只有C项在文中没有提及。
