There once lived a king named Midas who was very rich. He loved two things above all else: his little daughter and gold. The king had many rooms full of gold, but he wasn't satisfied. He wanted to get even more gold.
One day when the king was taking a walk in his garden, an unknown visitor came to him. He told the king that he could wish for anything the king wanted. At first the king did not believe the stranger, but finally he was convinced (信服的) . "I wish to have more gold," the king said." "Very well," answered the stranger. "You shall have your wish. From tomorrow, everything you touch will turn to gold."
The next morning the king got out of bed early. He wanted to see if his wish had been given. First, he touched a chair, then a flower, then a table. Everything he touched turned to gold! The king was very happy. Then he sat down to eat breakfast. But as soon as he touched his food, it turned gold. The king began to worry. What would happen if he couldn't eat anything? Just then his daughter came into the dining room. She ran to her father. But as he touched her, she turned to gold.
The king was sad and worried. He went out to the garden. As he was walking, he saw the stranger again. The king asked him to take back the wish. "I don't want any more gold," he cried. The stranger warned the king to be sure this time. Then he agreed to take back the wish. From that day on, the king was a wiser and happier man, even though he had less gold.
Have you ever tried to hide your emotions (情感)from someone during a conversation? {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶)creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red- green color around the nose and forehead.
“We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(触发) by the central nervous(神经) system." Lead researcher Alex Martinez said.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other's emotions?
To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the timewithout any difficulty.{#blank#}5{#/blank#} For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we'd say he or she is blue in the face.
A. But this raises a question. B. It is shown that human emotions are influenced by colors on the face. C. They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color. D. It's not always easy, because the color on your face may tell the truth. E. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing. F. This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one's face. |
