the year 2025 about three thousand million people may lack water At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems The demand for water keeps increasing Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems It may increase health problems Lack of water often means drinking waters are not safe Mr Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases such as cholera which are carried in water Lack of water may also result in more international conflict Countries may have to compete for water in the future Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries This is true of Egypt the Netherlands Cambodia Syria Sudan and Iraq And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning The Population Action International study gives several

Jack University of Glasgow researcher said that rather than scanning evenly 均勻的 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 忽略 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 Westerners did 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 the 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 59 The discovery shows that Westerners A consider facial expressions universally reliable B pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth C have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways 60 What were the people asked to do in the study A To get their faces impressive B To make a face at each other C To observe the researchers faces D To classify some face pictures 61 What does the underlined word they in Paragraph 6 refer to A The researchers of the study B The participants in the study C The data collected from the study D The errors made during the study 62 In comparison with Westerners Easterners are likely to A read facial expressions more correctly B examine the eyes more attentively C study the mouth more frequently D do translation more successfully D Sri Lanka is known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean and it is easy to see why This little country never fails to
