Irina，now 46，never imagined she’d one day make a living as a balloon artist.The daughter of an engineer and a teacher，she won top academic awards in high school，went on to medical school and became an emergency room physician in a small city.
“I loved the science of medicine，” she says today，“but being a doctor was very hard.I saw things people don’t normally see—women giving birth in the street，people getting drunk and killing someone.” Medications were scarce，making it very difficult to treat those in need.When Irina was 33，a girlfriend showed her a magazine photo of an American named Wes Patterson.They began exchanging letters，and married that December.Irina took a public relations job.Then，a few years ago，she watched a man at a party twist a skinny balloon into the shape of a dog.Kismet!
Irina soon purchased a tiny pump and a supply of balloons and began practicing on the sidewalks.Observers challenged her to create all kinds of figures.Now，Irina says，“There’s nothing I can’t make.”
Many years ago，Irina’s husband developed a serious disease which now keeps him homebound.“But he is a very wonderful man，” Irina says.Thanks to her new career，she is able to support them both，performing about five events weekly and earning as much as $2,000 per appearance.
“Irina’s a wonder，” says Marlene Berg，chief development officer for the Florida Heart Research Institute.“She turned the evening into magic.” “My whole life has become magic，” Irina says，“and it’s all come from a balloon.”

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽视) the mouth."
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
