I Know Just How Yon Feel

Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique．Well，think again．Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified，according to Mind Reading，a DVD displaying every possible human emotion．It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel：the first visual dictionary of the human heart．Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s，when Darwin divided the emotions into six types-anger，fear，sadness，disgust，surprise and enjoyment．【46】______Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group．More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture．But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide．【47】______The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions．

The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism(孤独症)，who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions．But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses．Actors and teachers，for example，need to understand a wide range of expressions．The professor and his research team first had to define an“emotion”．【48】______Using this definition，1，512 emotion terms were identified and discussed．This list was eventually reduced to 412，from“afraid”to“wanting”．

Once these emotions were defined and classified，a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them．In Mind Reading，each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds．【49】______The explanation for this is simple：we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words，but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone's face．“It was really clear when the actors had got it right，”says Cathy Collis，who directed the DVD．“Although they were given some direction，”says Ms Collis，“the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move．【50】______”For example，when someone feels contempt，you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down．

Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American，Professor Paul Ekman，who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion．The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called “action units”．These can be combined into more than 10，000 visible facial shapes．Ekman has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion．

A．We thought of trying to describe each emotion，but it would have been almost impossible to make clear rules for this．

B．These particular muscles are difficult to control，and few people can do it．

C．Research has also been done to find out which areas of the brain read emotional expressions．

D．They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by“I feel”or“he looks”or“she sounds”．

E．He said that the expression of these feelings was universal and recognizable by anyone，from any culture．

F．Any other method of showing all the 412 emotions，such as words，would have been far less effective．

Waste Not，Want Not

1．Bob and Clara Darlington，who own and run a farm in the North of England，have always looked for new ways of making money out of the produce they grow．Their success began when they established a shop on their farm，so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them．

2．The business was an immediate success，and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country．The Association's inspectors found the Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetables．

3．Clara Darlington is a trained chef and，in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local produce，she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen．A small care alongside the farm shop was soon added，with everything that visitors could taste on the menu also being for sale in the shop．

4．Clara admits that starting the business was expensive，and she has worked very hard，but maintains that if the product is good，the public recognize this and buy it．“I aim to offer the highest quality to our customers，whether they come in for a loaf of bread，or take a whole dinner-party menu．I take it as a compliment(恭维) if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it themselves．”

5．So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop．Clara，not wishing to see them get thrown away，decided to turn them into soup．

6．The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten different varieties．She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail，doing presentations of the soups．As a result，they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores．

A．Time well spent is rewarded

B．Professional recognition is obtained

C．A necessary alternative to farming

D．Professional skills are exploited

E．Continuing investment in high standards

F．Ensuring that nothing gets wasted
