Directions:  This task (No. 61 to No. 65) is the same as Task l.

Facial expressions carry meanings that are partly determined by culture. For example,  many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons. 

Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings.  But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings.  Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many  Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don' t smile enough.  In Southeast Asian cultures,  a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.
