For a long time, the traditional method of identifying liars was to watch their body language, including facial expressions.
What if the person appears to be nervous? Is the person unable to look me in the eye? Is he or she look around the room? What about other nervous movements, such as fidgeting(坐立不安)or shifting from side to side? Many people—from parents to police officers and airport security personnel—depend on this method. But does a person’s body and face reveal the truth? Not according to a new study.
Talking, it seems, is the best way to smoke out a liar. That is what researchers in the United Kingdom found out recently. Their investigation took place at one place where lying can get you into big trouble—an airport.
The researchers asked volunteers to pretend they were real passengers and then lie to airport security agents. Some of the agents used spoke conversation-based methods to question these make-believe passengers. Others depended instead on the person’s body language, like lack of eye contact and showing signs of nervousness. The agents talking with the passengers were 20 times more likely to catch the liars. The study found that these conversation-based techniques can help you recognize when a person is lying to you. Like many methods, this conversation method has a name. It is called Controlled Cognitive Engagement or CCE, for short.
The British government partly financed this study. The American Psychological (APA) published the findings. Body language cannot be trusted. Using body language and facial expressions to catch someone in a lie is really hard. And it only works, seemingly, by chance.
Thomas Ormerod is the head of the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex in England. On the APA website, he reported that the “suspicious-signs method”—or using body language—“almost completely fails” in finding lies.
1.What are the questions in Paragraph 2 intended to do?
A. Show traditional ways to recognize a liar.
B. Launch a survey among readers.
C. Show the writer’s puzzlement.
D. Invite the readers to think twice.
2.What should volunteers in the investigation do?
A. Answer questions only using words.
B. Pretend to be airport security agents.
C. Act as passengers as researchers required.
D. Communicate with researchers by talking.
3.Which would be the best way to find out a liar according to the study?
A. Looking him in the eye.
B. Asking open-ended questions.
C. Making use of body language.
D. Observing his facial expression.
4.What will the author continue to talk about based on the passage?
A. Misunderstandings of catching a liar.
B. The “suspicious-signs” method.
C. How the CCE method works.
D. The new concept of CCE.

Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space. The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference, not an economic one. Knowing your own psychological space needs is important because they strongly affect your choices, including, for example, the number of bedrooms in the home. If you were brought up in a two-child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms, the chances are, if you have two children or more, that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them. In America, for example, they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their own rooms when they are babies. This is very rare in the world. In many other countries, the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them.
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs. Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it. Others have separate little corners where family members go to bed alone.
Although it is true that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons, they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressures. It is almost impossible, however, to completely change your psychological space needs.
1. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 means " ______ ".
A. No two people need exactly the same amount of living space
B. The requirements of living space are not always the same
C. The world requires the same amount of living space
D. Nobody needs a required amount of living space
2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Americans are trained to live in large rooms at birth.
B. Economic situation decides one's amount of space needs.
C. People in various countries demand different psychological space.
D. Knowing your psychological space needs is important, as it affects your future.
3.The best title for this passage is ______.
A. American Way of Living
B. Psychological Space
C. Space Needs in Different Countries
D. Psychological Space and Economic Pressure

Poetry, one of the essential art forms of literature, is a brief and easy way to express our feelings. Moreover, everyone understands it in their own way. Some find relief in poems; some read them simply for peace; some read poems for simple artistic pleasure.
There are some special features of poetry, which make it quite different from other forms of literature. First of all, poems have rhythmic patterns. Generally most parts of a poem follow the same form of rhythm. Poems may have rhyme, but they don't have to. The lines are neatly arranged together so that they express a particular feeling or emotion.
There can be various types of poems but according to the pattern or the form, there are mainly three types:
Lyrics: The lyric mainly concentrates on human thoughts and emotions rather than a story. Lyrics always bear song-like appeal. These are mainly short poems. Popular lyric poem forms are the elegy, the ode and the sonnet. William Shakespeare, Edmund Waller and Keats are some of the greatest lyric writers of all times.
Narrative poems: This type of poetry tells a story. Narrative poems are usually long poems. Epics(史诗) and ballads fall under this type. Some of the greatest epic poets are John Milton, Dante, Edgar Allan Poe, Alexander Pope, William Shakespe are, etc..
Dramatic poems: Any drama that is written in verse is a dramatic poem. These poems generally tell a story. Black verse, dramatic monologue(独白) and closet drama belong to this type. William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson are some of the greatest dramatic poets.
Whatever the form is, one thing, which cannot be denied, is that poetry is one of the most powerful tools to express our feelings.
1.What do we know about lyrics?
①They are similar to songs.
②They usually tell stories.
③They are not very long.
④The sonnet is a type of lyrics.
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④
2.We can know from the text that .
A. poems are weak in showing feelings
B. some poets write more than one type of poem
C. narrative poems are shorter than lyric poems
D. the sonnet and the ballad belong to the same type
3.This passage is written mainly to .
A. tell us some simple facts about poetry
B. teach us how to write poems
C. give some advice on reading poems
D. make us interested in poems
