题目:

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行证) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.

It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine.

“Where did it come from?” I asked.

“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”

The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (难看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.

“It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”

“Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”

It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

     Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in

American culture (文化) 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 (困惑)

across cultures. For example, many people in Russia 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 culture, 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 (情感), 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

emotion 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 the U.S.?

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 experience.

D. Figure out what they will do next.

4. What would be the best title for the test?

A. Cultural Differences

B. Smiles and Relationship

C. Facial Expressiveness

D. Habits and Emotions
