2013高考英语南京市一模（完形填空）强化训练（8）及答案
To find out how a person’s body language affects the emotional impression given by that person’s face，scientists used pictures in which body posture matched and didn’t match facial expression.
Studying such mixed message is nothing new for scientists.Previously，they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken.For example，most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice，“I’m so excited.”
When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language，most scientists suspected that the face was more important.To test if this was true，psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out) that showed anger or fear.They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies.
An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips.A scared face had high eyebrows and a slightly open mouth.An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle，as if ready to fight.A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square，as if ready to defend.
Using the pictures，the researchers asked people to quickly press a button that matched the correct facial emotion：anger or fear.When people looked only at faces，they chose the right emotion about 81 percent of the time.But when people looked at a mismatched picture—a scared face with an angry body，for example—they correctly guessed the emotion on the face only 64 percent of the time.
These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people.Even when people pay attention to the face，body language subtly influences which emotion they read.
