菁優(yōu)網(wǎng)Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale,but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called "Pinocchio effect" and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie,but actually shrink a bit.
   Dr.Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying,and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful,the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2℃,while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5℃.Scientists also found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink,although the difference is undetected by the human eye.
   "One has to think in order to lie,which rises the temperature of the forehead," Dr.Gomez Milan explained the findings. "At the same time we feel anxious,which lowers the temperature of the nose."
   For this study,researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology.One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents,partner or a friend and telling a significant lie.Participants had to devise the lie by themselves during the call,and the thermal cameras picked up this "reverse Pinocchio effect" caused by the fluctuation (起伏) in temperature in the nose and forehead.
   Interestingly,the thermal lie doctor picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects,which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie doctor.
   "With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of 'false positives',something that is frequently with other methods such as the polygraph (測謊儀) ," said Dr.Emilio Gómez Milán,who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
   The thermal lie doctor has been the most reliable in the world,10% more than the popular polygraph.

  • 2.Each year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating (不請客就搗亂) for candies.But for some kids,eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.
       That's because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy(過敏癥).They are allergic to ingredients(成分)in many Halloween candies,such as peanuts,tree nuts,milk,eggs,and beans.If they eat these foods,they will get sick or even die.
       "I had to throw away all my candies with tears," eight-year-old Conlen said.Conlen is allergic to peanuts,tree nuts,and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts.She has been trick-or-treating only twice. "I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors," Kylie said. "It felt terrible."
       But this year,Conlen,Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween.That's because nearly 100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project(TPP),which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education(FARE).FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies.Through the project,the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小飾品) and toys.
       To take part in the project,people buy a teal(藍(lán)綠色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house.The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there.The households also add their home addresses to an online map,making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.
       Kylie loves the idea."The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe," she said."It makes me feel like a normal kid,and it makes everyone feel included."

    (1)To Conlen and Kylie,the past Halloween were

    A.upsetting and dangerous
    B.interesting and special
    C.sick and terrible
    D.important and exciting
    (2)According to the passage,we know that FARE

    A.helps people with food allergies recover
    B.helps the households take part in the TPP
    C.takes action to change kids' bad eating habits
    D.helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween
    (3)The households help kids with food allergies by

    A.giving them teal pumpkins as gifts
    B.offering them all kinds of food except candies
    C.providing them with trinkets and toys as treats
    D.a(chǎn)sking them for home addresses and sending them gifts
    (4)Where is the passage most probably taken from?

    A.A magazine about the history of festivals.
    B.A news report on cultures and customs.
    C.An advertisement for an organization.
    D.A research paper on kid's health.

  • 3.Besides the excitement of travel,one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs,holidays,foods,art,music,and politics first-hand.
       "I learned the language and am now fluent,but perhaps what's more important is how much I learned about cultures,people,and myself.I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family,not from the tourist's point of view," says Andrew,who studied in Poitiers,F(xiàn)rance.
       Another reason for studying abroad is that you'll gain self-confidence.Christina studied in Caracas,Venezuela,a city of more than 3 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000!Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language.What could make you more confident than that?
       Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition(過渡)to college and adulthood.Mathew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and a real interest in international affairs that made him different from his peers(同齡人). "After having gone abroad in high school,I found the transition to college a breeze—moving 560 miles from home didn't seem particularly frightening after having lived thousands of miles away."
       Most of all,it's fun while you're studying in a different learning environment.

    (1)What is the passage mainly about?

    A.Learning a language.

    (2)What did Andrew pay special attention to while studying abroad?

    A.Host families.
    B.The foreign cultures.
    C.Places of interest.
    D.Community problems.
    (3)According to the example of Christina,what do we know about studying abroad?

    A.It can change our habits.
    B.It can offer us opportunities.
    C.It can increase our knowledge.
    D.It can build our confidence.
    (4)What do the underlined words "a breeze" in paragraph 4 probably refer to?

    A.Something very important.
    B.Something very interesting.
    C.Something very easy.
