On this level, it provides a good way fbr people to learn more about Afghan history and culture in the context of the story.Looking at The Kit

13、e Runner as a story about culture, however, misses what the book is really about. This is a novel about humanity. This is a story about friendship, loyalty, cruelty, longing fbr acceptance, redemption （救贖），and survival. The core story could be set in any culture because it deals with issues that are

19、y of a book.D. An advertisement of a book.BAristotle believed the face was a window onto a person's mind. Today, facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally valid way to judge other people's feelings. A smile suggests happiness. A frown indicates sadness. However, an an

20、alysis of hundreds of research papers has uncovered a surprising conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as recognisable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures.Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist at Northeastern Unive
