Questions 15—18
Every human being, no matter where they are from, is born with the ability to smile. A smile is a natural reaction to a positive moment, like a friendly face or a clever joke.
Most babies first smile between 6 and 8 weeks old. At first, it is only the expression made when exercising their facial muscles or passing wind, but once they realize a smile gets them
a lot of attention, huge smiles in return, happy noises, extra treats, they learn to try it again. And why wouldn’t they？It takes 43 muscles to frown, but only 17 to smile.
We smile when we are happy. We smile when we see people we know, but what happens when you are not happy to see someone you know? You smile anyway. You fake a smile. Unfortunately, however, a fake smile never looks quite the same as a real one. In the genuine smile you not only show your lower teeth, but also move the muscles running all the way around the mouth, which in turn makes the skin around the eyes become tighter and then your smile is real.
However, when someone smiles politely rather than because they really want to. They use the muscle which only raises the sides of the mouth and which does not move the muscles at the corners of the eyes, this kind of fake smile is sometimes referred to as the Pan-Am smile as it is named after the former airline whose flight attendants welcomed every passenger with the same forced smile.
15. According to the talk , what is a smile？
16. What happens in a real smile?
17. What do we learn about the Pan-Am smile?
18. Which of the following is not true according to the talk？
【解析】
本篇的话题是smile. 首先介绍what is smile; 然后讲到when and why people smile; 接下来分析了real smile and fake smile, 并在文章最后简要介绍了Pan-Am smile（a kind of fake smile）.
这篇听力整体难度不大，基本没有生僻词，结构也比较简单。考点也依然集中在我们课上讲过的强调词、强调句式附近，比如not only…but also句型，refer to 等等。
