Be aware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a winner, right? Maybe, or maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t say anything that was false, but he omitted important information on purpose. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an advertisement, saying “During Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples(粉刺).” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

1.Which statement is true according to the article?

A. Whenever people tell the truth, they may lie

B. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.

C. All governors help their states.

D. You cannot trust lottery agent.

2.The author clearly wants people ___________.

A. not to trust any politician

B. to vote for female candidates

C. not to believe advertisements of any kind

D. to think carefully about what they read and hear

3.Governor Smith’s opponents wanted __________.

A. to beat her in the campaign

B. to make her a liar

C. to get jobs in the government

D. to detect her lie

Here is a task for you: try to make as many kinds of facial expressions as you can. How many can you come up with?

Facial expressions are like a window to your emotions inside. Scientists used to believe that we only have six basic emotions-happy, sad, fearful, angry, surprised and disgusted-and ,therefore, each of our facial expressions falls into one of the six categories.

But it turns out that this is just the tip of the iceberg. In a recent study, scientists from Ohio State University, US, mapped 21 different facial expressions, more than tripling(是……的三倍) the original number, reported Science Daily.

Restricting emotions to just six categories is like “painting only using primary colors”, said Aleix Martinez, the lead researcher. He believed that human emotions are much richer than that, which is why he and his team decided to use advanced computer technology for further investigation.

In the experiment, scientists photographed 230 volunteers-100 male and 130 female-while they made faces in response to different words such as “you smell a bad odor(氣味)”. They then closely studied the images by examining key muscles on volunteers’ faces, such as the corners of the mouth or the outer edge of the eyebrow, and finally identified 21 different expressions. These included what seem to be contradictory emotions such as “happily disgusted” and “sadly angry”, which scientists call “compound(混合的) emotions”.

Take “happily disgusted” as an example.” Putting on a happy face is usually done by drawing up the cheeks and smiling while a disgusted face often involves a scrunched-up(皺起的) nose and eyes. So the “happily disgusted” emotion created an expression that combined the smile of happy with the scrunched-up eyes and nose of disgusted. It was the emotion test subjects felt when something “gross(惡心的)” happened that was also funny-for example, when people spill(灑出) a lot of food on their clothes.

Similarly, “happily surprised” is an expression for receiving unexpected good news. “Sadly angry” is the face we make when someone we care about makes us angry.

According to Martinez, the researchers’ next step is to study the pathways and chemicals in the brain that activate(激活) and recognize those emotions. He believes that this could lead to effective treatments for people who suffer from conditions such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD,創(chuàng)傷后應(yīng)激障礙), which involves a lack of recognition of other people’s emotions.

1.The underlined part “this is just the tip of the iceberg” in Paragraph 3 probably means .

A. this is a truth known to us all

B. this is the total amount of something

C. this is easily seen or discovered

D. this is only the smallest and most obvious part of something

2.How does the author explain the definition of “compound emotions” in the article?

A. With comparisons.

B. Through examples.

C. Through cause and effect analysis.

D. By presenting research findings.

3.According to the article, people are likely to become happily disgusted when .

A. they receive unexpected good news

B. someone they don’t care about makes them happy

C. something unpleasant but also funny happens

D. they successfully escape from a dangerous situation

4.What can we conclude from the article?

A. There are several contradictory emotions we tend to overlook.

B. Females have more contradictory emotions than males do.

C. The chemicals in the brain that activate emotions are easy to identify.

D. Martinez’s next goal is to find an effective cure for people who suffer from PTSD.

Our Community

One Tuesday evening in the beginning of the fall 1996 semester (學(xué)期) at Shippensburg University, sirens sounded. These sirens were not in celebration; they were a cry to the university that something was wrong. A house, only one block away, was on fire. Nine of the university’s students lived there.

From the minute the word got out that help was needed, it seemed like everyone showed up. The victims (受災(zāi)者) of the fire were offered endless invitations for housing for the night. The very next day, everyone got into gear to do their part in helping them. Flyers(傳單) were posted with items that were immediately needed, just to get these students through this next couple of days. Boxes for donations (捐贈品) and money jars were placed in every residence hall (學(xué)生宿舍)．

As a residence director, I went before the students in my hall to ask them to do what they could. I knew that college students don’t have much, but I asked them to do their best: “Every little bit will help.” I really didn’t think they could do much. I was proved wrong.

At the hall council meeting the night after the fire, my residents decided to have a wing competition, where each wing of the building would team up to see who could bring in the most donations. I announced that the wing who won would receive a free pizza party.

Thursday evening we announced over the PA system that we were beginning the wing competition. Within minutes, the place exploded. The single large box that I had placed in the lobby (大廳) was overflowing. We quickly grabbed more boxes, and we watched in amazement as they, too, filled to the brim(邊；沿). Members of the resident assistant staff and I began to count the items. I was astonished by what I saw, and I was inspired by these kids.

When we came to the final tally(得分), the winners turned to me and announced that they would like to donate their winnings as well. They wanted the victims of the fire to have their pizza party.

Tears welled up in my eyes. I had watched these students jump to action, work tirelessly and donate all that they could. And then, as if that were not enough, they handed over their reward. I was touched and so very proud of them.

1.The writer mainly wanted to________ by the story.

A．tell us nine of the college students suffered from a fire

B．sing praise of the college students helping the victims selflessly

C．describe how successful the wing competition was

D．express he was deeply moved by the college students’ action

2.At first, the residence director thought ________.

A．it was impossible to expect the college students to donate anything

B．it was easy to collect a lot of donations from the college students

C．the college students would donate something, but not much

D．the college students would donate all they could

3.The wing competition was held ________.

A．several days after the fire B．the night after the fire

C．a(chǎn) week after the fire D．two days after the fire

4.The phrase “in amazement” in Paragraph 5 means ________.

A．satisfactorily B．excitedly

C．surprisedly D．happily
