My two best friends and I were playing in the park near my house." Hey, look at that poster," Ollie shouted." The Harvest Fair sounds cool!"
" Yes! But S50 for a ticket?" said Marcya." That's a lot."
After a while, we headed to my house. When we got home, Dad's friend Isaac came with six free tickets to the Harvest Fair. After Isaac left, Dad said," We have five people in our family. Wo'll have to find someone else who wants to go to the fair."
"I want to go!" said Mareya.
" So do I!" said Ollie.
It took me one second to go from happy to awkward(尴尬的). Just then, my 80- year- old neighbour, Mrs Nish, came in."I just saw the poster. I love fairs! But tickets aren't cheap now."
That's when Ollie got an idea. He quietly said something to Mareya, and Mareya told it to me, and I told it to my father.
" Well, we happen to have an extra(多余的) ticket to that fair! Would you like to join us?" my dad asked.
" Really?" Mrs Nish's face lit up." I'd like that very much!"
Tho fair was fantasist. But the very best part was seeing Mrs Nish laughing. The next weekend, Ollie, Mareya, and I had our own Harvest Fair party at home. We played games and made a big pic while singing along to our favourite band Eagle Daze.
Have you ever tried to hide your emotions 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 the 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 checks 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 Nartime said.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell others' 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 time without 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 say he or she is blue in the face.
A. But this raises a question. B. They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color. C. It' s not always easy because the color on your face may tell the truth. D. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing. E. This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one' s face. |
