【题目】请阅读下面图文，简要回答所给问题，并将答案写在答题卡相应的位置上。

Though they have been around since the late 1990's, emoji(表情符号) usage has increased sharply with the popularity of smartphones.

Recently, a team from the University of Michigan and Peking University studied 427 million messages sent by users in 212 countries to see the differences in emoji usage by culture. Below are emoji use in text messages.

Though these findings were interesting, the most interesting was the conclusion(结论) that the emoji choice is influenced by societal environment. The researchers say that people living in countries like Australia and France who believe that one person's need is greater than that of a society or group—use happier emojis. But those from countries like Colombia often use sad or angry emojis.

Also, cultures like Turkey and Russia, known for their strictness, appeared to be more satisfied, at least according to the emojis. On the other hand, people in other cultures, like Mexico, seemed unhappy or dissatisfied.

The researchers believe that the findings of “emoji usage” will help make our emoji vocabulary larger. Who knew that the image we add to brighten up our texts could show so much about our culture?
