I.阅读理解
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 Gomez Milan and his team
developed a lie detector(测谎仪)test that used
thermography(热成像仪)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 1.2C while the temperature of their
forehead increased up to 1.5C.Scientists also
found that drop in temperature at nose level
actually caused it to slightly shrink,although
the difference is unnoticed by the human eye.
"One has to think in order to lie,which
increases 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,including
making a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents,a
partner or a friend and telling a significant lie.
Participants had to make up the lie by themselves
during the call,and the thermal cameras picked up
this“reverse Pinocchio effect”caused by the
fluctuation()in temperature in the nose and
forehead.
Interestingly,the thermal lie detector
picked up the temperature difference in 80
percent of test subjects,which is a better rate
of success than that of any modern lie
detector.It's suggested that law enforcement
interviewers should one day combine other lie
detection technology with thermal imaging to
achieve better results.The thermal lie detector
has been the most reliable in the world,10%
more than others.

The man who could see the future
The ability to predict the future is a rare
talent.American author Isaac Asimov (1920-
1992),one of the great science fiction writers
of his age,had such a talent.1 Now that
we're here,let's see what he got right.
2 Asimoy thought computers would
cause a revolution comparable to the industrial
revolution of the 19th century.Specifically,he
said that "mobile computerized objects"would
be an important part of everyday life.Here,he
clearly predicted our world of smartphones,
tables and other devices.He also had a great
deal to say about space exploration.3
How did Asimov develop his special sense
of future developments?4 He read the

newspapers and magazines sold in his parents'
candy store.His scientific interest gained
sharper focus at Columbia University in New
York.Asimov went to study chemistry,but
became bored with pure laboratory science.
Instead,he thought hard about the social
implications(作用)of science.He wanted to
communicate his ideas to the public.
5 Asimoy had his finger on the pulse
(脉搏)of both scientific and social change..He
had a clear vision of what was coming around
the corner for humanity in his works like the
Galactic Empire series(《银河帝国系列》).
“His predictions are fascinating,”Calum
Chase,an English writer,told BBC News."He
was a genius.”
A.As a smart boy,Asimov taught himself to
read at the age of five.
B.Space exploration really can make our life
more convenient and comfortable.
C.Back in 1983,he was asked to predict what
the world would look like in 2019.
D.On the role that computing would play in
the future,he was amazingly accurate.
E.Asimov has developed a great interest in
computer programming since childhood.
F.As an author,his books would feature the theme
of social change caused by technology.
G.The International Space Station proves his
prediction that we would not simply visit space
but seek to stay there.
