15、elve-year-old boy back in 1954. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I can only hope to pass on to someone else someday.On a Saturday afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house. I found a smooth rock and sent it. Th

16、e stone headed straight for a small window on the old ladys back door. At the sound of broken glass, we took off from the old ladys yard.I was too scared about getting caught that first night. However, a few days later when I was sure that I hadnt been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her mi

17、sfortune.She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.I decided to save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in a

18、n envelop with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscui

19、ts as I continued my route.After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked.

22、al expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child.

23、 A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places （although this is

24、 less common in big cities）. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians dont smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile

25、.Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience such emotions. Ra

26、ther, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to g

27、eneralize about Americans and facial expressions because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotions are

28、different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” other persons incorrectly.28. What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?A. Love. B. Politeness. C. Thankfulness. D. Joy. 29. The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can _.
