interrogation room（审讯室）. They asked them whether they had stolen $20 and then recorded their answers with a standard polygraph test（测谎试验） and the new camera.

6. ______ are involved in the experiment to help test the new camera.

E 20 new US soldiers

5 The study is so small that it can’t be used as proof of the camera’s ability to catch a thief or a liar, Levine says. Still, he is hopeful that the camera is recording a subtle flushing（脸红） of the face that may automatically occur when someone lies. That flushing may not be caught by the naked eye（肉眼）, but the camera shows a bright

red-orange-yellow zone that represents blood rushing to the eyes.

7. The camera is hoped to record ______ that may automatically occur when someone lies.

F a slight redness of the face

“When someone lies, you get an instantaneous warming around the eyes,” he says. Levine speculates that people who lie are afraid of getting caught. That fear triggers a primitive response to run away. Blood goes to the eyes so that the liar can more efficiently map out an escape route, he says. Levine says it may take years before the camera would be ready for a test at a large U.S. airport.

8. According to the study, when you are telling a lie, there will be ______.

D an instant warming around your eyes

第1篇 The Future of the Automobile汽车的未来

Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future.

The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.

Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated （自动化的）highway system.

When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable（可伸缩的）arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become

electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor（监控） all of the car’s movements.

The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space （预留空间）for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器） that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway.
