19、ontact the university first.BPinocchio may be just a childrens fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called “Pinocchio effect” and found that our noses dont grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Emilio Gomez Milan and his team d
20、eveloped a lie dectector test that used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2, while the temperature of their forehead increased up to 1.5. Scientists also
21、found that drop in temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye. “One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the forehead,” Dr. Gomez Milan explained the findings. “At the same time we feel anxious, whic
22、h lowers the temperature of the nose. ”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie.
23、Participants had to devise the lie by themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “reverse Pinocchio effect caused by the fluctuation（起伏）in temperature in the nose and forehead. Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test
24、subjects, which is a better rate of success than that of any modern lie doctor. “With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of false positives, something that is frequently with other methods such as the polygraph （测谎仪），” said Dr. Emilio Gmez Miln, who added tha

Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?CWhat is an accent(口音)？An accent is a flavoring to you that influences the sounds of words and sentences. In Birmingham you might
29、hear “lake” sounding close to “like”, and in Ireland you might hear “this” sounding close to “diss”. Accents are related to social group. Everyone has an accent, and for every accent there are groups of people who react badly to it. These reactions are the result of prejudice（偏见）- an unreasoned jump
30、ing to conclusions.Everybody has prejudices about accents. I certainly do. I have held prejudices about other peoples accents. But over the years, my experience of working with people from all kinds of backgrounds has led me to give up these prejudices. However, I still have prejudices that I find d

Jacob，Member of Parliament（议会），remembers when he first stood unsuccessfully for election in Fife, Scotland, “I gradually realized that whatever I happe
32、ned to be speaking about, the number of voters in my favor dropped as soon as I opened my mouth. ”And some people change their accents to sound more refined(文雅的)when talking to people outside their circle of family and friends. Sky News ran a report recently in which an 18-year old woman was trying

37、t-based food, much of the remaining land could support ecosystems that absorb CO2, according to a new study. In their study, the researchers analyzed and mapped areas where production of animal-sourced food, which requires 83% of Earths agricultural land，prevents the growth of native vegetation（植被），
38、including forests. They focused on places where changing what people grow and eat could free up space for ecosystems to grow again. According to the researchers findings, vegetation re-growth could make less CO2 given off, thus reducing the chance of warming the planet, if demand for meat were to de

Technological solutions to c

Placing too much confidence in these technologies could prove dangerous, however, according to the study. So restoring native vegetation on large agricultural land may be now our safest choice for removing CO
