📖 題組：
There are many scientific studies on innate versus culture-specific expressions of emotion. Researchers found more support for facial expressions as innate, universal indicators of particular emotions. For instance, Charles Darwin's evidence for universality was the answers to several questions he sent to many Englishmen living in different parts of the world. They wrote that they saw the same expressions of emotion in these foreign countries as they had known in England, leading Darwin to say: "...the same state of mind is expressed throughout the world with remarkable uniformity..." Echoing Darwin's claims, Paul Ekman conducted a cross-cultural study on facial expressions and emotions. In his study, Paul Ekman took photographs of people showing different emotions. He then asked people in various cultures to indicate what emotions were being described in the photographs. Those participants ranged from European university students to the Fore people, a tribe that lives in Papua New Guinea and had almost no contact with Western culture. Ekman found a high agreement across members of different Western and Eastern cultures, including the Fore, on selecting emotional labels that fit facial expressions. Researchers generally agree that facial expressions reflect emotional states. The facial-feedback hypothesis argues, however, that the movement of our facial muscles can trigger corresponding emotions. For instance, causing an individual in experiments to smile during a social event will lead the participants to report more positive feelings and actually come to find the event more of an enjoyable experience.

請回想一下，當達爾文觀察那些住在遙遠異鄉的人們時，他收到的回覆是說那些表情讓英國人感到「陌生且難以理解」，還是「似曾相識」呢？這反映了人類表情的本質是什麼？

哇喔！不錯嘛，不愧是我的學弟/妹，這球接得漂亮！✌️
- 觀念驗證：哼哼，答對了耶！看來你們的眼光還不錯嘛，一下子就抓住了第一段最關鍵的發球點。達爾文那個老頭（？）不是說了嗎，全世界的表情都長得一樣，根本就是 "remarkable uniformity"！那意思不就是選項 (A) 的 "the same meaning the world over" 嗎？這種送分題，就是要像我一樣，帥氣地扣下去得分啊！吐舌頭～😜
- 難度點評：這題嘛，對天才如我來說，當然是 Easy 啦！不過對你們來說，能做到這種「直接細節題」的「同義詞轉換」（uniformity $\leftrightarrow$ same），也算是及格了。下次再遇到這種球，要記得，把文章的重點都看清楚，就像我觀察對手一樣，每一個小細節都不能放過！這樣才能贏，知道嗎？
