According to a study by Glasgow University, Europeans look _______ a person's whole face _______ people from East Asia focus _______ on the eyes. Researchers recorded the eye movements of 13 Westerners and 13 Easterners as they observed pictures of expressive faces. They were asked to _______ the pictures into the following categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.

The team found East Asians focus much more attention on the eyes and also make a _______ number of mistakes. Different from Europeans, they _______ to have a more difficult time_______the difference between a face that looks fearful as opposed to surprised, and disgusted as opposed to angry.

"Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth __________, whereas Easterners __________ the eyes and neglect the mouth," said researcher Rachael Jack. "This means that Easterners have __________ in telling apart facial expressions that look similar around the eye region."

Jack said that the differences in eye movement reflected a cultural __________ in the way people use their faces to express themselves. Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth __________.

The difference in the use of text message "emoticons" (表情符号) __________the idea. Easterners use the eyes to __________emotion, for example "^-^" for happy and "┬_┬" for sad. Westerners, __________, use the mouth, for example ":-)" for happy and ":-(" for sad.
