personsmind.Nowadays,facial expressions are still thought to be a uni versally valid（有 效 的）way to judge other peoples feelings,ir respective of age.sex and culture.A raised eyebrow suggests con fusion.A smile represents happiness.A frown（皱 眉）indicatessadness.Or do they?An analysis of hundreds of research papers thatexamined the relationship between facial expressions and underly ing emotions has uncovered a surprising conclusion:there is nogood scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things asrecognizable facial expressions for basic emotions which are uni versal across cultures.A person is not smiling,the researchersfound,does not mean that person is unhappy.Lisa Feldman Barrett,one of the authors of the study,toldthe A A AS meeting in Seattle,“We surprised ourselvesM.As apsychologist at Northeastern University in Boston,Massachusetts,Dr.Feldman Barrett,along with her partners,found that,on aver age,adults in urban cultures frowned when they were angry 30%of the time,which meant th al some 70%of the lime they did notfrown when angry.Instead,they did something else with theirfaces.People also frowned when they were not angry.Theyfrowned for lots of reasons.The researchers concluded that a frown is not the only waypeople express anger.The anibiguous nature of facial expressionswas not restricted to anger,but seemed valid for all six of the e-motional categories that they examined:anger,dislike,fear,hap piness,sadness and surprise.All this raises questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop artificial-intelligence algorithms（演 算 法）which can recognize facial expressions and work out apersons underlying emotional state.Microsoft,for example,claims its uEmotion API“is able to detect what people are feel ing by examining video footage of them.Another of the study,sauthors,however,had their doubts.Aleix Martinez,a computerengineer at Ohio State University,said that companies attemptingto take emotions from images of faces have failed to understandthe importance of context.28.What is the author,s purpose in writing the first para graph?A.To state Aristotle,s view.B.To attract the attention of readers.C.To introduce the topic of the text.D.To show a way to judge others feelings.29.What did Dr.Feldman Barrell,s study find?A.Smiles show that people are happy.B.A frown means that people are surprised.C.Anger is not the only reason for frowning.D.People in the city usually frown when angry.30.What does the underlined word“ambiguous“in the lastbut one paragraph mean?A.Recognizable.B.Uncertain.C.Detectable.D.Unique.31.What do you think the following paragraph will talkabout?A.Ways to take emotions from images of faces.B.Emotion A PIs ability to detect peoples
