    　　If you have read the fairytale about the Italian boy Pinocchio, you will remember that every one knew when he lied because his nose grew．But did you know that your brain can also betray(出卖)you when you tell a lie?

    　　A study released last Monday showed that the brains of people who are lying look very different from those who are telling the truth．According to the US researchers, this finding could lead to creating a more accurate lie detector(测谎仪)．

    　　“There may be separate areas in the brain involved in truth-telling and cheating that can be measured,” said Scott Faro, head of the research group．

    　　Faro and other scientists tested nine volunteers．Six of them were asked to shoot a toy gun and then lie and say they didn't do it．Three others who watched told the truth about what happened．

    　　The volunteers were connected to a special machine, which used a strong magnet(磁铁)to provide a real-time picture of brain activity．Clear differences were seen between the liars and the truth-tellers．A total of seven areas were active in the cheating group, but only four in the truth-telling team．

    　　“It seemed to take more brain effort to tell the lie than to tell the truth,” Faro said．

    　　The traditional lie-detector machine looks at sweat, skin, breathing and heart rate changes．

    　　Using such new technology as a lie detector would be expensive, but it might be worthwhile in some criminal cases．

    (1)

    At the beginning of the story, the author mentioned Pinocchio in order to ________．

    [　　]

    C．

    inform you that criminals can no longer lie without being found out

    D．

    introduce you to a discovery that another part of your body can give a liar away

    (2)

    What did Faro and other scientists find?

    [　　]

    A．

    Cheating and truth-telling involve totally different brain areas．

    B．

    More volunteers are needed to make sure that their technology is reliable．

    C．

    The differences in brain activities can show whether a person has told a lie．

    D．

    Telling the truth is much easier than telling a lie．

    (3)

    Which is the biggest disadvantage of the prospective(预期的)lie-detector?

    [　　]

    A．

    It could only be used in criminal cases．

    B．

    Its cost would be very high．

    C．

    Compared to the traditional lie-detector, it still needs perfecting．

    D．

    Differences can be shown only in brain activities．

    (4)

    The main purpose of writing this story is to ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    inform us that a new research suggests a new lie-detector is on the way

    B．

    warn liars of the possibility of being found out

    C．

    show that brain does not tell lies

    D．

    tell truth-teller some good news

    What exactly is a lie ?Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?

    Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

    Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose  is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.

    Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察觉的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.

    Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.

    According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie ______.

    A. that other people believe   

    B. that other people don’t believe

    C. told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings

    D. told in order to take advantage of someone

    Research suggests that women _____.

    A. are better at telling less serious lies than men

    B. generally lie for more than men do

    C. often make promises they intend to break

    D. lie at parties more often than men do

    Researchers find that when a person tells lies _____.

    A. his blood pressure increases measurably

    B. he looks very serious

    C. he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior

    D. he uses his unconscious mind

    The writer of the passage______.

    A. hates lying      B. enjoys lying           C. often tells a lie        D. tries to study about lying

    Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?

    A. Touching one’s ears                                    B. Rubbing the nose 

    C. Moving in a chair                                   D. Covering the mouth
