A Where is that noise coming from? Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years.Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better.Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by.Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away.Twenty-three blind people participated in the study.All had been sightle for at least 20 years.Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11.the rest went blind after age 16.The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind-folds.In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away.When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well.When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group.The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later.Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers.Croing the street, for instance, is much harder when you can’t see the cars coming.Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16.In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11.These brain parts didn’t show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people.The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-onset” blind people.（）1.The recent study shows blind people are better at telling

.A.The sources of loud sounds.B.the locations of distant sounds C.the direction of sharp sounds

D.the distance of a sound in front of them（）2.Which would be a proper title for the paage?

.A.A Research on Blind People

B.Where is That Noise Coming from? C.Hearing Better in the Dark

D.What If Living Without Your Eyes?（）3.If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best?

.A.Those who are blind.B.Those who have gone blind since children.C.Those who went blind at age 16.D.Those who are blindfolded.（）4.Which of the following is true according to the paage?

.A.Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind.B.All the volunteers in the experiment are sightle.C.All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction.D.The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds.（）5.What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds?

.A.This happens in almost all the testers.B.This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16.C.It remains nothing new to the scientists any more.D.It remains a mystery why it is so.B People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expreions — 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)acro 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 expreions,” 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 expreions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cro-cultural situations.The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expreions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of.expreive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.They compared how accurately participants read those facial expreions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners.“The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expreions,” Jack said.“Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth le.” In short, the data show that facial expreions 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 acro cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.（）6.The discovery shows that Westerners

.A.pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth B.consider facial expreions universally reliable C.observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D.have more difficulty in recognizing facial expreions

（）7.What were the people asked to do in the study?

.A.To make a face at each other.B.To get their faces impreive.C.To claify some face pictures.D.To observe the researchers' faces.（）8.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

.A.The participants in the study.B.The researchers of the study.C.The errors made during the study.D.The data collected from the study.（）9.In comparison with Westerners, Easterners are likely to

.A.do translation more succefully B.study the mouth more frequently C.examine the eyes more attentively D.read facial expreions more correctly

（）10.What can be the best title for the paage?

A.The Eye as the Window to the Soul B.Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions C.Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D.How to Increase Cro-cultural Understanding

My husband hasn't stopped laughing about a funny thing that happened to me.It's funny now but it wasn't at the time.Last Friday，after doing all the family shopping in town，I wanted a rest before catching the train，so I bought a newspaper and some chocolate and went into the station coffee shop---that was a cheap self-service place with long tables to sit at.I put my heavy bag down on the floor，put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to keep a place，and went to get a cup of coffee.When I went back with the coffee，there was someone in the next seat.It was one of those wild-looking youngsters，with dark glaes and worn clothes，and hair colored bright red at the front.Not so unusual these days.What did surprise me was that he'd started to eat my chocolate!

Naturally，I was annoyed.However，to avoid trouble---and really I was rather uneasy about him---I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper，tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate.The boy looked at me closely.Then he took a second piece of my chocolate.I could hardly believe it.Still I didn't dare to start an argument.When he took a third piece.I felt more angry than uneasy.I thought，“Well，I shall have the last piece.”And I got it.The boy gave me a strange look，then stood up.As he left he shouted out.“This woman's crazy!”Everyone stared.That was embarraing(令人难堪的)enough，but it was worse when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave.My face went red---as red as his hair---when I realized I'd made a mistake.It wasn't my chocolate that he'd been taking.There was mine，unopened，just under my newspaper.1.The woman telling the story ____.A.always went shopping with her family on Fridays
