A new research has uncovered that culture is a determining factor when interpreting facial emotions.The study reveals that in cultures where emotional control is the standard,such as Japan,focus is placed on the eyes to interpret emotions.Whereas in cultures where emotion is openly expressed,such as the United States,the focus is on the mouth to interpret emotion.
“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized,”said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.“A person"s culture plays a very strong role in determining how they will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting facial expression."
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons (情感符号),which are used to convey a writer’s emotions over email and text messaging.The Japanese emoticons for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn,while American emoticons vary with the direction of the mouth.In the United States the emoticons :) and :--) show a happy face,whereas the emoticons :( or :--( show a sad face.However,Japanese tend to use the symbol (^-^) to indicate a happy face,and ( ;_;) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that a culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person"s eyes when determining emotion,as eyes tend to be quite subtle (微妙的),”said Masuda.“In the United States, where open emotion is quite common,it makes sense to focus on the mouth, which is the most expressive feature on a person"s face.”

The Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake at 5:46 a. rn. on January 17, 1995,Kobe (神户) and its surrounding areas suffered a killer earthquake. Only two other events in this century, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II caused more deaths in Japan than this earthquake. The epicenter was at the northern tip of Awaji Island. The quake registered 7.2 on the Richter scale (里氏震级). The greatest amount of damage was seen in the Japanese port city of Kobe, and at final count 6 348 people had lost their lives.
The people of the area were quite unprepared for such a big earthquake. Experts had said that most modern buildings would be quite safe even from an earthquake as strong as the Great Kanto Earthquake. This was clearly not true. Television cameras showed the many buildings that had fallen down. The highway that ran through the city had fallen over on its side looking as if it had been pushed over by a giant.
Thousands of people were homeless, However, some of the finest human qualities were seen in the time of crises (moment of great danger). People formed long lines for water and other supplies. They shared what they had with one another. People from young to old stopped to talk to each other and give a few encouraging words. The people living in the area knew that their old life had been destroyed. They believe they can rebuild their life, and a better one,
