He believes that physical appearance is often culturally（文化的）programmed. In other words, we learn our looks we are not born with them. A baby has generally unformed face features（特征）. A baby, according to Bird whistle, learns where to set the eyebrows（眉毛）by looking at those around family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, New Englanders or Southerners have certain mon face features that cannot be explained by genetics（遺傳學(xué)）. The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grownups. A husband and wife together for a long time often e to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgi A．People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than do people in small towns. 1．Ray Bird whistle believes physical appearanceA．has little to do with culture.

The Romans needed a way to move their large armies quickly so that they could protect their huge country. They needed land trade routes, so they joined all parts of their empire by a network of roads（公路網(wǎng)）. Beginning in 300 B．C．, the Romans built roads in Europe, Asia and North Africa. By ., they had built 50, 000 miles of almost straight roads. To build their roads, the Romans moved away all soft soil. They dug until they reached hard ground. Then they added layers（層）of stone and other things. The most important roads were paved（鋪設(shè)）with large flat（平）stones. Main Roman roads were sometimes as wide as ours today. To
