What does the expression on a person's face tell you? A lot, according to scientists. It seems that we focus on (1) certain facial features such as the eyes and mouth before deciding how someone may respond to (2) certain situations. For example, someone's eyebrows will usually move upwards or their mouth may open slightly if they are surprised or at (3) for words. On the other hand, a broad smile and shining eyes reveal a person's happiness. This is probably the easiest emotion to detect simply by looking (4) at the face.

There are times, however, when people need to hide their real emotions. For example your boss may really get under (5) your skin on a Monday morning. Or in a class full of difficult students, a teacher may feel like bursting (6) into tears, but this would cause embarrassment to the teacher and probably amazement among the students. The employee or teacher may therefore need to fake a smile to cover up their true emotions.

Recent research (7) has helped psychologists gain a deeper understanding of how we interpret facial expressions and come to conclusions about other people's emotions. Additional studies with subjects from different cultures have shown that tone of voice and overall body language also helps (8) us understand the person we are talking to.
