    　　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．

    It is difficult for parents of nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible （有责任的）for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
    　　If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.

    　　You can use the same technique when you evaluate （评价）your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he hasn’t done. If your child completes a difficult task, promise him a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.

    Answer each question according to the required words limit．

    　　If you have ever been rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport．

    　　There are three basic types．Top roping is probably the most common type and is basically climbing with a partner．Lead climbing is very similar to top roping．In both types, the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope．

    　　Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any type of ropes or harnesses(保护带)．This is the most challenging of all types of climbing．The climber must be able to complete the task without taking a rest on the rope．

    　　Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75％ legs and 25％ arms．To climb successfully, the climber must master a wonderful technique．One of the major rules is to always have 3 points touching the wall, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, it is much easier to have your weight rest on 3 points than on 2．Another important technique to grip(抓紧)is that your arms will not do the climbing in most cases．They only hold you into the wall so that your legs can push you upward．The closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb．

    　　Rock climbing may sound too extreme but it is really an amazing exercise and mentally challenging, too．

    1．What are the types of rock climbing?(No more than 6 words．)

    _____________________

    2．Why should rock climbers always have 3 points touching the wall?(No more than 12 word．)

    _____________________

    3．what’s the main use of the arms when climbing?(No more than 7 words．)

    _____________________

    4．What can be the best title for the passage?(No more than 2 words．)

    _____________________
