Those parts that are not tend to wither away It is anobserved fact that when you exercise particular muscles, they grow. Those that arenever used diminish. By examining man's body, we can tell which muscles heuses and which he doesn't. We may even be able to guess his profession or hisreaction. Enthusiasts of the "body- building" cult make use of the principle of useand disuse to "build" their bodies, almost like piece of sculpture, into whatever© Đỗ Bình THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5unnatural shape is demanded by fashion in this peculiar minority culture. Musclesare not the only parts of the body that respond to use in this kind of way. Walkbarefoot and you acquire harder skin on your soles. It is easy to tell farmer from abank teller by looking at their hands alone. The farmer's hands are horny ,hardened by long exposure to rough work. The teller's hands are relatively soft. The principle of use and disuse enables animals to become better at the job ofsurviving in their world, progressively better during their lifetime as result ofliving in that world. Humans, through direct exposure to sunlight, or lack of it,develop skin color which equips them better to survive in the particular localconditions. Too much sunlight is dangerous. Enthusiastic sunbathers with very fair skinsare susceptible to skin cancer. Too little sunlight, on the other hand, leads tovitamin-D deficiency and rickets. The brown pigment melanin which is synthesizedunder the influence of sunlight, makes screen to protect the underlying tissuesfrom the harmful effects of further sunlight. If suntanned person moves to lesssunny climate, the melanin disappears, and the body is able to benefit from whatlittle sun there is. This can be represented as an instance of the principle of use anddisuse: skin goes brown when it is "used", and fades to white when it is not.Question 31. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How the principles of use and disuse change people's concepts of themselves.B. The way in which people change themselves to conform to fashion.C. The changes that occur according to the principle of use and disuse .D. The effects of the sun on the principle of use and disuse.Question 32.

A. look into B. bring on C. make off D. hold upRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, or on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct word for each of the questionsYou can usually tell when your friends are happy or angry by the looks on theirfaces or by their actions. This is useful because reading their emotional expressionshelps you to know how to respond to them. Emotions have evolved to help usrespond to important situations and to convey our intentions to others. But doesraising the eyebrows and rounding the mouth say the same thing in Minneapolis asit does in Madagascar? Much research on emotional expressions has centered onsuch questions. According to Paul Ekman, the leading researcher in this area, people speak andunderstand substantially the same “facial language”. Studies by Ekman’s grouphave demonstrated that humans share set of universal emotional expressionsthat testify to the common biological heritage of the human species. Smiles, forexample, signal happiness and frowns indicate sadness on the faces of people insuch far- flung places as Argentina, Japan, Spain, Hungary, Poland Sumatra ,theUnited States, Vietnam, the jungles of New Guinea and the Eskimo villages northof Artic Circle. Ekman and his colleagues claim that people everywhere canrecognize at least seven basic emotions: sadness, fear, anger, disgust, contempt,happiness, and surprise. There are, however, huge differences across cultures inboth the context and intensity of emotional displays the so called display rules. Inmany Asian cultures, for example, children are taught to control emotionalresponses especially negative ones- while many American children areencouraged to express their feelings more openly. Regardless of culture, however,emotions usually show themselves, to some degree in people’s behavior. Fromtheir first days of life, babies produce facial expressions that communicate theirfeelings. The ability to read facial expressions develops early, too. Very young childrenpay close attention to facial expressions, and by age five, they nearly equal adultsin their skill at reading emotions on people’s faces. This evidence all points to abiological underpinning for our abilities to express and interpret basic set ofhuman emotions. Moreover, as Charles Darwin pointed out over century ago,some emotional expressions seem to appear across species boundaries. Cross -cultural psychologists tell us that certain emotional responses carry differentmeanings in different cultures. For example, what emotion do you suppose mightbe conveyed by sticking out your tongue? For Americans, this might indicatedisgust, while in China it can signify surprise. Likewise, grin on an American facemay indicate joy, while on Japanese face it may just as easily meanembarrassment. Clearly, culture influences emotional expressions.© Đỗ Bình THPT Liễn Sơn, Lập Thạch, Vĩnh Phúc www.violet.vn/quocbinh72 Trang 5Question 43.
