2、our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, a brilliantly（精彩地）written book. However, he then went on to talk about Mr Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar. And it seems that my friend
3、 is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Days Report on Guilty Secrets, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as Im not one t
4、o lie too often (Id hate to be caught out), Ill admit here and now that I havent read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its really brilliant. The World Book Day report also has some other in
5、teresting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him,but havent lied about it either）and Herman Melville. Asked why they lied,the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be t
6、ricky if the conversation became more in depth! But when asked which authors they actually enjoy,people named J.K.Rowling,John Grisham,Sophie Kinsella（ah,the big sellers,in other words). Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing th
7、e story（Ill come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).1. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By looking into his background.C. By mentioning a famous name.D. By discussing the book itself.2. Which of the fo

Friendly.B If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienc
10、ed what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona.
11、 She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she said. Thats the picture I remember best. The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtua
12、l reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it. To get used to seeing another persons body without actually having control of it
13、, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronized（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another persons body. Using such technology promises to
14、 alter peoples behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the I
15、mplicit Association Test, which measures the strength of peoples associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test
16、again. This time, the participants bias scores were lower. The idea is that once youve put yourself in anothers shoes youre less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalized the feeling of being that person. The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar resu
17、lt. At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms, says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. Its a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone.5. The word swapping (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to

20、 changing constantlyC A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑). Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度). But the research has found laptop users are less able to r
21、emember and apply the concepts (概念) they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency (趋势)to make notes mindlessly by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment, students were given either a
22、laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many n
23、otes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The researchers report said, “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case
24、on a laptop, the benefit disappears. In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam. These two experiments suggest that handwri
25、tten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.8.

But there is another factor that can cause your heart problems more immedi
28、ately：the air you breathe. Previous studies have linked high exposure（暴露）to environmental pollution to an increased risk of heart problems,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack or stroke（中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure. In one review of the resear
29、ch,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants（污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure than those with lower exposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air that the US.Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）considers to be
30、 of “moderate”（良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours of exposure. The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthy people and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smokin
31、g and high blood pressure. However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also become necessary to protect publ
