人与社会：肢体语言 星期二 阅读理解＋七选五 分值：22.5分 Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分，共10分) Contrary to popular belief，looking at someone’s face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are shouting in celebration or screaming in frustration，researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other’s faces，body language is the real clue that shows whether the strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative. In one study，groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point. In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player’s full body，but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed. Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when shown the full picture or just the body，but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone. Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced that they had made their judgment based on the players’ facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise. The researchers carried out a second study where volunteers were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy，pleasure，victory，pain and defeat. Using photo editing software，the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotions and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos. The resulting poses(姿势) were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions，which means that people base their understanding of strong emotions on the body instead of the face. Dr Aviezer，who led the study，said，“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense，the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how the body interacts during emotional situations.” 1．Nowadays，what do most people tend to believe A.
