People believe that climbing can do good to health.Where can you learn the skill of climbing then?If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb,you’re wrong.Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆).Here,people are learning on special climbing walls.The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.

How do people climb the wall?To climb,you need special shoes and a harness(保护带) around your chest to hold you.There are ropes tied to your harness.The ropes hold you in places so that you don’t fall.A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high,and you climb straight up.There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to.Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal.Sometimes ,it’s not.The most difficult is to control your fear.It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling,so it’s not difficult not to feel fear.But when you move away from the wall,the harness and the ropes hold you ,and you begin to feel safe.You move slowly until you reach the top.

Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone.You use your whole body,especially your arms and legs.This sport gives your body a complete workout.When you climb,both your mind and your body can become stronger.

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—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)across a face as Weserners do,Eastners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Eastners and Westners look at different face features to read facial expressions,”Jack said.“Westners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure,whereas Eastners 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 expressions that had been considered universally recongnizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.

The researchers studied cultural differences in the recongnition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Westners Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories:happy,sad,surprised,fearful,disgusted,angry,or neutral.They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.

It turned out that Eastners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westners did.“The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,”Jack said.“Our data suggest that whereas Westners use the whole face to convey emotion,Eastners use the eyes more and mouth less.”

In short,the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion.From here on ,examining how cutural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion.Otherwise,when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures,Eastners and Westners will find themselves lost in translation.

35.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions.

B. Effective Meth
