【題目】

A picture speaks a thousand words. And with over a thousand emoji pictures to express ours elves, who needs to speak or write anymore?

According to Professor Evans, emoji is the fastest-growing language — faster than any language in history. These little pictures started life in Japanese phones in the 1990s and they are popular now. In the UK they are becoming more popular than Internet words like “l(fā)ol”(laughing out loud) and “muah” (the sound of a kiss). The most popular emoji is the “face with tears of joy ”. In New York’s Museumof Modern Art, we can see the first set of the 176 original (最早的) emojis.

Why do we love emojis so much? They allow us to have fun when expressing ourselves, to make people laugh and to be creative in how we use them. Some teenagers tell us emojis are quick and easy. “They’re quick to use and show hidden meanings. My favorite emoji is the ‘laughing face’,” said Will, a15-year-old student.

【題目】

Straight or arched, thick or thin-eyebrows come in many shapes and sizes. But what are eyebrows even for? They don’t keep us warm like our hair, or help us breathe like our nose. So why do we have them at all?

Researchers from the University of York in the UK believe that eyebrows helped us to communicat e better when we were still evolving(進(jìn)化).

Early humans had large brow ridges (眉骨). This helped them show strength. Later, as the human face evolved to become smaller and flatter, our

eyebrows allowed us to express complex emotions, as well as better understand others’ emotions, the Guardian reported. A quick flash of the eyebrows, for example, is a sign that someone is willing to interact (互動(dòng)) with others, while pulling our eyebrows up in the middle is an expression of sympathy (同情), Penny Spikins from York University told The Daily Telegraph.

If you still find this hard to understand, just draw a simple face on a piece of paper and draw a line above the eyes. You can draw lines in different shapes and directions . You will find that it is very easy to show anger, fear or surprise in a face.

But this is not the only purpose of our eyebrows. They can also protect our eyes. Their arched shape can help to move rain or sweat around to the sides of our faces, keeping our eyes dry, the BBC reported. Together with our eyelashes, eyebrows can also help to keep dust and other things out of our eyes.

Some researchers believe that if we didn’t have eyebrows, we would have evolved some other facial features to perform the same functions (功能). That could make us look quite different.

【1】According to researchers from the University of York, our eyebrows can .

A.keep us warmB.make us look better

C.help us show strengthD.help us to communicate better

【2】When you pull your eyebrows up in the middle, you might be .

A.showing your sympathyB.eager to talk with others

C.keeping dust out of your eyesD.showing anger in your face

【3】According to the passage, early humans with big brow ridges looked .

A.surpris edB.strongC.angryD.small

【4】The word “that” in the last paragraph refers to .

A.our eyebrowsB.some other facial features

C.some researchersD.the same functions

【5】We can tell from the story that .

A.our eyebrows help us show anger, fear or surprise in our faces

B.it is easy to show your feelings without your eyebrows

C.our eyes may feel dry without our eyebrows ’ protection

D.connecting both eyebrows can help someone look powerful
