26、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 (测谎仪) , ' 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.
【1】Why does the author mention 'Pinocchio' at the beginning?
A．To tell a fairy story
B．To warn us not to lie.
C．To introduce a research.
D．To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.
【2】According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?
A．Your nose gets longer.
B．Your nose becomes smaller.
C．Your temperature gets higher.
D．Your temperature remains stable.
【3】What can we learn about the research?
A．Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.
B．Researchers design difference lies for participants.
C．The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.
D．The thermal lie doctor may assist law enforcement.
【4】Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．Will lie detectors tell the truth?
B．Will lying make your nose longer?
C．Will lying make your temperature rise?
D．Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?

28、 It was my first year of teaching. I was young and inexperienced, and had class after class of twenty kids just waiting for me to make a mistake.
After a particularly long night of grading papers and thinking about how many weeks I'd left until I could breathe, I had one of those mornings when I began to question my job choice. I'd become a teacher to help kids. Instead, I felt like I couldn't even help myself anymore. It was just Mother's Day, and as I sat at my desk surrounded by lesson plans, I wondered how I'd ever have enough energy to have children of my own.
That was when I heard a knock at my door. One of my students came in — the cool basketball-playing country boy who had accidentally broken my favorite snow globe so that I couldn't display nice things in my classroom. He handed me a large flower that probably came from his family's farm. He'd stuck a bird feather in it.
'I got you a Mother's Day gift,' he said in a low voice. Most middle school and high school teachers don't receive presents. Christmas and Teacher Appreciation Day had already come and gone without any gifts. I was so shocked that I just stared.
Made nervous by my silence, he said, 'You know…since you're like a mother to us, I thought you should get a present, too.'
I smiled and told him he was the sweetest person in the entire world, and that I just loved it. Based on his smile, I knew I'd done enough work of making him feel quite proud of himself. What made that twelve-year-old bring me a homemade present? I'll never know. Once he left the room, I locked the door. And I cried. That moment helped me get through the rest of the school years.
【1】What did the author think of her job as a teacher at the beginning?
A.Interesting. B.Tiring.
C.Rewarding. D.Demanding.
【2】How did the boy feel when he gave his teacher the present?
A.Excited. B.Shocked.
C.Unwilling. D.Shy.
【3】How did the author react when she was given the flower?
A.She was moved to tears.
B.She didn't accept the present.
C.She was too surprised to say anything.
D.She stared at the boy in puzzlement.
【4】Which of the following encourages the author to continue teaching?
A.The sincere love from students.
B.Her positive attitude to life.
C.Her strong interest in teaching.
D.The achievements in her work.
29、 As we approach Father’s Day, Let’s be real about it.
Everyone needs a father to be born, but not everyone can have a father while growing up.
Some fathers are too busy; others get divorced, disappear or die.
But almost everyone should have a father image—someone who lives up to what a father should be.
A father image is a role model—someone you want to be like. He fills you with the memories that never leaves you when you grow up.
My father image was Harold, who was in his twenties when I was10 years old. I was a foster child (收养的孩子) and lived in his home with his mother.
He had dark, curly hair and always wore a beautiful suit, a shirt and a tie. What made him my role model was that he knew my darkest secrets—even stuff my real father didn't know—and he told me things no other person would tell a little boy.
Harold dressed the store windows at Gertz Department Store in Jamaiva, N. Y., and every time I went to visit him he gave me a quarter.
I wanted to be exactly like him. I even walked like him. He always called me “Kiddo”, a name I call people I like to this day.
My friends had role models like Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehring, Joe Lewis and other sports figures. I chose Harold, because he was a real person and he chose to be my mentor (指导者).
Harold, as you may have guessed, is now in Heaven ( Where else would he be?), but I think about him a lot. And whenever I have a problem, I ask myself, “What would Harold do?”
That is the reason a father role model is so important to a boy or a girl, It's a learning experience for everyone.
I guess the reason why I am writing all this is that I think there should be a Father's Day when everyone honors the person who has a lifelong impact(影响) on him. I believe every child needs just one to change his life－Happy Father's Day
【1】In the author's opinion, what should the image of a father be except______?
A.a father should be patient B.a father should tell me what is right and what is wrong
C.a father should be like sports figures D.a father should have a lifelong influence on his kid
【2】Joe DiMaggio is________?
A.his friend’s father B.a sports star C.the author’s father D.a mentor
【3】How is Harold now?
A.He is working in a department store. B.He is in Heaven now.
C.He is dead now. D.The author doesn't know where is he now.
【4】Which is not the author’s attitude towards Harold?
A.Love. B.Respect. C.Miss. D.Hate.
