29、facial expression。 Only two percent madecorrect judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as“ pleased ”.And a typicalreactionof a studentconfrontedwiththe picture of aman who was mad was to classify his expression as either bewildered ， quizzical，or simplyamazed.Otherstudies showed thatitisextreme

30、ly difficultto tell whether aman is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigatorsfound further that women are better at finding out anger fromfacia1 expressions than menare.

36、 thatwriting，you can tellsomething about the atmosphere.With some practice， you can become a pretty good weatherforecaster.Who knows，you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just the appearance of the clouds to make their forecast.They collectdata fro

37、m all over the world.
