Juvenile Cynics
Adults often extol children for their innocence, but according to a recent study by researchers at Yale's department of psychology, kids are in fact the most hardened of cynics.

The study, which was written by Candice M. Mills and Frank C. Keil and appeared in the May 2005 issue of the journal Psychological Science, suggests that young children are especially apt to believe that when people distort the truth, they do so for selfish reasons. In one part of the experiment, kindergartners, second graders, fourth graders and sixth graders read or heard short stories about the outcomes of various contests. The children were then informed that some of the characters in these stories had falsely reported the results of the contests. The children had to decide whether the misstatements were due to lying, bias or innocent error.

National Smiles



Dacher Keltner, a professor of psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, contends that Americans and the English smile differently. On this side of the Atlantic, we simply draw the corners of our lips up, showing our upper teeth. Think Julia Roberts or the gracefully aged Robert Redford. "I think Tom Cruise has a terrific American smile," Keltner, who specializes in the cultural meaning of emotions, says. In England, they draw the lips back as well as up, showing their lower teeth. The English smile can be mistaken for a suppressed grimace or a request to wipe that stupid smile off your face. Think headwaiter at a restaurant when your MasterCard seems tapped out, or Prince Charles anytime.
现在不仅开始有英式英语和美式英语,现在还有ENGLISH SMILE AND AMERICAN SMILE,见上图,决定你要带那种口音,穿哪种笑容
