Contrary to popular belief，looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration，researchers claimed. While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces，body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.
In a study，groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.
In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body，but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.
Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body，but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.
Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.
The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy，pleasure，victory，pain and defeat.
Using photo－editing software，the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion，and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.
The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions，demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.
Dr Aviezer，who led the study，said，“These results show that when emotions become extremely intense，the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear. The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations. For example，individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions，but if they are trained to process important body language，their performance may significantly improve.”
【解题导语】　最新的争辩表明：通过观看别人的眼睛，人们并不能完全读懂他们的心情，但假如通过肢体语言，人体却能更好地了解。
1．People tend to believe that ____________．
A．someone's body language has an effect on their feelings
B．reading someone's face alone cannot tell their feelings
C．someone's body language is the only clue to their feelings
D．someone's feelings can be read by their facial expressions
答案　D　[推理推断题。从第一段的Contrary to popular belief，looking at someone's face alone is...可知，目前，人们普遍认为，看人们的面部表情就可以得知他们的心情。]
2．What do we know about the first study?
A．The participants were divided into four groups.
B．All participants were given the same pictures to see.
C．It proved that emotions influence people's body language.
D．Participants could tell the players' feelings when seeing the full picture.
答案　D　[细节理解题。从第四段的Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body可知答案。]
3．In the second study，the participants were asked to ____________．
A．express the opposite emotion
B．act out the emotions they saw
C．use photo－editing software
D．perform different roles
答案　B　[细节理解题。从倒数第三段的．..asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos可知，其次个争辩中，参与者要求把所看到的表情演示出来。]
4．What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?
A．Ridiculous. B．Useless.
C．Unrealistic. D．Helpful.
答案　D　[推理推断题。从最终一段的The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations可知，Dr Aviezer认为这些结果在某个方面对其它争辩有确定的挂念。]
