E
Straight or arched (弯的), thick or thin—eyebrows come in many shapes and sizes. But what are eyebrows even for? They don’t keep us warm like our hair, or help us breathe like our noses. 54 Researchers from the University of York in the UK believe that eyebrows helped us communicate better when we were still evolving (进化).
Early humans had large brow ridges (眉骨). This helped them show their strength. Later, as the human face evolved to become smaller and flatter (更扁平的), our eyebrows allowed us to express complex (复杂的) emotions, as well as better understand others’ emotions, The Guardian reported. 55 This is a sign that someone is willing to interact (互动) with others. While pulling our eyebrows up in the middle is an expression of sympathy (同情), Penny Spikins from York University told The Daily Telegraph. If you still find this hard to understand, just draw a simple face on a piece of paper and draw a line above the eyes. 56 You will find that it is very easy to show anger, fear or surprise on a face.
57 They can also protect our eyes. Their arched shape can help to move rain or sweat around to the sides of our faces, keeping our eyes dry. Together with our eyelashes (眼睫毛), eyebrows can also help to keep dust and other things out of our eyes.
58 In that case, some researchers believe that we would have evolved some other facial features to perform the same functions (功能). That could make us look quite different.
A. You can draw lines in different shapes and directions.
B. But this is not the only purpose of our eyebrows.
C. So why do we have them?
D. For example, a quick flash of the eyebrows.
E. What if we didn’t have eyebrows?

E
眉毛有直的或弯的、粗的或细的——形状和大小各异。但眉毛到底有什么用呢？它们不像头发那样能给我们保暖，也不像鼻子那样能帮助我们呼吸。54英国约克大学的研究人员认为，在我们还在进化的时候，眉毛帮助我们更好地交流。
早期人类有很大的眉骨。这有助于他们展示自己的力量。据《卫报》报道，后来，随着人类的脸进化得更小、更扁平，我们的眉毛让我们能够表达复杂的情绪，也能更好地理解他人的情绪。55这是一个人愿意与他人互动的标志。约克大学的彭妮·斯皮金斯告诉《每日电讯报》，而把眉毛中间往上抬是一种同情的表现。如果你仍然觉得这很难理解，就在一张纸上画一张简单的脸，然后在眼睛上方画一条线。56你会发现，在脸上表现出愤怒、恐惧或惊讶是很容易的。
57它们还能保护我们的眼睛。它们弯曲的形状有助于把雨水或汗水引到我们脸的两侧，保持我们的眼睛干燥。和我们的眼睫毛一起，眉毛还能帮助阻挡灰尘和其他东西进入我们的眼睛。
58在那种情况下，一些研究人员认为我们会进化出一些其他的面部特征来执行相同的功能。那可能会让我们看起来很不一样。
A. 你可以画不同形状和方向的线。
B. 但这不是我们眉毛的唯一用途。
C. 那么我们为什么会有眉毛呢？
D. 例如，眉毛快速地闪动一下。
E. 如果我们没有眉毛会怎么样？
