CHRISTMAS
The Christmas season very early in Britain. By the end of October, you may see Christmas decorations in the streets and Christmas cards and gifts in the shops. Traditionally, people start to decorate their houses one or two weeks before 25th December is Christmas Day.
There are a lot of traditions connected to Christmas. The most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. Children leave a long sock or at the end of their bed on Christmas Eve, 24th December, hoping that Father Christmas will appear during the night and them small presents, fruits and nuts. They are not usually disappointed. Sometimes on Christmas Day, the family will sit down for a big turkey dinner and Christmas pudding. Later in the afternoon, they may watch the Queen on television as she her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom and the Common Wealth. they have rooms for even more food, they may enjoy a piece of Christmas cake or eat a hot mince pie. 26th December is also a public holiday, Boxing Day, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or watch football.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Have you ever felt that someone was lying to you, even though their words sounded perfectly honest? The secret to catching a liar might be written all over their face. Human beings constantly show their emotions through tiny facial movements called micro-expressions, and these sudden changes happen incredibly quickly.
When people try to conceal their true feelings, their faces usually betray them. A normal smile might last for several seconds, but a micro-expression flashes almost invisibly. For instance, a person who feels extremely nervous might briefly pull their lips tight before smiling normally. Because these physical reactions are completely automatic, even the most careful liars cannot stop them.
The study of these split-second expressions was pioneered by a psychologist named Paul Ekman in the 1960s. He traveled around the world and discovered that people from very different cultures showed the exact same basic facial expressions. This discovery mattered because it meant micro-expressions could be reliably taught and recognized regardless of a person's background - which is why, today, law enforcement officers now receive special training to notice these tiny details during interviews with suspects.
However, interpreting micro-expressions is not always a perfect science. A nervous twitch does not automatically mean that someone is hiding a terrible crime. They might be worrying about a difficult job interview, or they could simply feel uncomfortable in a strange room. Therefore, experts warn that facial movements should only be considered as one clue among many.
Which title best fits this passage?
Micro-Expressions: Proof That No One Can Ever Hide Their Emotions

What can be inferred about why Paul Ekman's discovery mattered for later real-world use?
It showed that micro-expressions were universal, making them reliable enough to teach to non-experts.
It proved that micro-expressions differ enough by culture that officers need separate regional training.
It showed that micro-expressions only appear in people who are trying to hide a crime.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an actual reason for a nervous facial twitch?
Worrying about a difficult job interview
Feeling uncomfortable in an unfamiliar room
Trying to hide a serious crime
How does the author organize the final paragraph of the passage?
By giving step-by-step advice on how to mentally prepare for a job interview
