单元过关检测(四) (时间：100分钟　满分：120分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships.For example，in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.Yet it also has other uses.A woman's smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.A smile may show love or politeness.It can also hide true feelings.It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures.For example，many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places although this is less common in big cities.Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don't smile enough.In South­east Asian culture，a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings.Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
