(Ⅰ) Every country has its own culture. Even though each country uses doors. Doors may have 1 functions and purposes which lead to 2 differences. When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 3 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word "PUSH" to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word "PULL" to 4 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 5 door in south Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed. The way of using school bus doors was also 6 to me. I used to take the school bus to classes. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back doors, 7 who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 8 In south Korea, we do not need to wait for people to get off. One morning, I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 9 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me, I was totally 10 , and my face went red.

C People from East Asia tend to have more difficulties 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 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. The discovery shows that Westerners ______.
A. pay equal attention to eyes and mouth
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe eyes and mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulties in recognizing facial expressions
A When I opened the first "Body Shop" in 1976, what I wanted to do was to earn (挣) enough money to feed my children. Today the "Body Shop" is a great company growing fast all around the world. In the years since we began, I have learned a lot.

Business can be fun, and can be run with love and do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to have a feeling of my family and to feel excited by something unusual. I have always wanted the people who work for the "Body Shop" to feel the same way. Now this book sends these ideas out into the world, and makes them public. I’d like to think there are no limits(界限) to our "family", and no limits to what can be done. I find that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too. What kind of person does the writer seem to be

B. She thinks running a business a different job.
