Passage Four

46People using happy emojis (表情符号) may seem cheerful—but are they really happy? Researchers from the University of Tokyo wanted to investigate whether "display rules"—"socially appropriate facial expressions in a given situation"—existed in communication with emojis. The study saw about 1,289 volunteers from Japan using emojis in response to online conversation. The participants, most of whom were female and aged 11 to 26, self-reported the intensity of emotional expressions.

Results suggested that happy emojis were often used to mask negative emotions and "manage the expression" to make a message seem more positive. Negative emojis, such as any of the sad face emojis, were only used when the participants felt very strong negative feelings.

Experts found that people were most likely to use positive emojis when they were feeling negative emotions or when talking to people of higher status—but they were also less likely to express emotions through emojis toward this group of people. People were more likely to use accurate emojis to express their feelings when talking to close friends.

"As socializing online becomes more popular, people have become accustomed to modifying their expressions and examining the appropriateness of their communication," Moyu Liu, an emotional behavior expert at the University of Tokyo who led the research, said. "However, I realized that this may lead us to lose touch with our real emotions."

46、 What did researchers from the University of Tokyo want to find out? ______

A. How to use emojis to express our emotions properly.

B. When to make facial expressions socially appropriate.

C. Whether the display rules of facial expressions existed in communication with emojis.

D. Whether happy emojis were used to mask negative emotions in communication.

47、 What do we know about the participants of the research? ______

A. They were mostly female.

B. They were in their early twenties.

C. They were asked to report with emojis.

D. They were selected from the University of Tokyo.

48、 When the participants had very strong negative emotions, they ______.

A. used happy emojis                      B. masked their feelings

C. modified their responses                 D. chose negative emojis

49、 People were more likely to use accurate emojis when ______.

A. they felt a little sad

B. they chatted with close friends

C. they needed to make a message more positive

D. they communicated with people of higher status

50、 According to Moyu Liu, what might be the negative influence of this trend? ______

A. We will be out of touch with our real friends.

B. We will fail to manage our facial expressions.

C. We will spend too much time socializing online.

D. We will lose the ability to express our true feelings.
