One night, the manager of a big company needed to call one of his workers, because there was a serious problem with their main computer system. And the worker was the only person who could solve it.
He dialed the worker's home phone number and the phone was picked up with a little girl's whisper(低语)." Hello?" the manager asked." Is your daddy at home?"" Yes," whispered a small voice." May I talk with him?" the man asked. To his surprise, the small voice whispered," No."
Then the manager asked," Is your mommy there?"" Yes," came the answer." May I talk with her?" Again, the small voice whispered," No."
Knowing that it was impossible that a young child would be left home alone, the manager decided he would just leave a message to the person who should be there watching over the child." Is there anyone beside you?" the manager asked the child." Yes," whispered the child."A policeman."
Having no idea what a policeman would be doing at his worker's house, the manager asked," May I speak with the policeman?"
" No, he's busy!" whispered the child." Busy doing what?" asked the manager." Talking to daddy and mommy," came the whispered answer.
Growing more and more worried as he heard something like a helicopter(直升机) through the phone, the manager asked," What is the noise?""A helicopter," answered the whispered voice." What is going on there?" asked the manager, alarmed.
In a serious whispering voice, the child answered," The search team has just landed the helicopter." Surprised and worried, the manager asked," Why are they there?" Still whispering, the young voice replied," They are looking for me."
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. |
