Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 01 to 07. You can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on their faces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressions helps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help us respond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But do raising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis as they do in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered on such questions. According to Paul Ekman, one of the leading researchers in this area, people speak and understand substantially the same "facial language". Studies by Ekman's group have demonstrated that humans share a set of universal emotional expressions that testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, for example, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people everywhere. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere can recognize at least the following basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt, happiness, and surprise. There are, however, differences across cultures in both the context and intensity of emotional displays - the so called display rules. In many Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotional responses - especially negative ones - while many American children are encouraged to express their feelings more openly. Another difference can be found when an American person understands a grin as a signal of joy while on a Japanese face, it may mean embarrassment. Regardless of culture, however, emotions usually show themselves, to some degree, in people's behaviour. From their first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate their feelings. The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. By age five, they nearly equal adults in their skill at reading emotions on people's faces. This evidence all points to a biological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret a basic set of human emotions.
