Sure they can, that's the whole point of acting. Also anyone who ever read a story to a kid can infer emotions from the text itself.

To a limited extent, sure, but kids books are also written to be very emotive.

The linked page actually has examples of the same text being read with different emotions, demonstrating that for even a single sentence a lot of variance is possible.
