【題目】 The slogan for the Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Development Fund is"In Love With China"-and this special message has bcen shown in its own logo.The logo uses the characters for"wind"and"phoenix"(風(fēng)凰)in ancient oracle bone script(甲骨文)on a circular Chinese fan.
Madam Kang Jiaqi,the executive director of CHSDF, IN LOVE WITH CHINA explains the many layers of meaning behind the logo:“The logo adopts the writing style of oracle bone script-dating back over 3,000 years-carved onto either turtle shell or ox bones.
"The Chinese character for*wind' and the character for"phoenix' are almost the same,with just one stroke difference.In China's ancient past,the character for"phoenix' was widely considered to bring peace and happiness and represents good fortune.The character"wind' has a long history and is also known as a name representing culture and spiritual power."
"Both the characters"wind' and 'phoenix 'share the same component in their characters,which is also used in the slogan 'In Love With China'.This extraordinary combination represents how experts lead fashion,which in tum leads culture-and that culture is the basis of creativity.Therefore,it represents the importance of traditional Chinese culture in global creativity.
"Taking the Chinese oracle bone character of"wind 'and' phoenix' as our logo represents the beginning of Chinese civilization,which suggests that it can pass on Chinese culture through the cooperation between the CHSDF and the cooperative platform of global designers,"explains Jiaqi.
Logo artist Sam Chung similarly explains her design process,"The decision of the oracle bone script of' wind' comes from the root of the character itself.Originated from the character shape of 'phoenix,'wind's 'oracle bone script still presents wonder, despite its more circular shape.The three tassels(流蘇)at the end of the moon-shaped fan further give a feeling of lightness while hinting at both Eastern and Western flavors."

【題目】 Pinocchio may be just a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so-called 'Pinocchio effect' and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.
Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán and his team developed a lie detector 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 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, which 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. 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 doctor picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test 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 (測謊儀) , ' said Dr. Emilio Gómez Milán, who added that law enforcement interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.
The thermal lie doctor has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.
【1】Why does the author mention 'Pinocchio' at the beginning?
A.To tell a fairy storyB.To warn us not to lie.
C.To introduce a research.D.To inspire us to doubt old beliefs.
【2】According to the research, what might happen if you tell a lie?
A.Your nose gets longer.
B.Your nose becomes smaller.
C.Your temperature gets higher.
D.Your temperature remains stable.
【3】What can we learn about the research?
A.Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.
B.Researchers design difference lies for participants.
C.The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.
D.The thermal lie doctor may assist law enforcement.
【4】Which might be the best title for the passage?
A.Will lie detectors tell the truth?
B.Will lying make your nose longer?
C.Will lying make your temperature rise?
D.Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?

Speeding Into the Future With Biometrics
Imagine checking in for a flight by simply walking onto the plane. Or buying groceries with a nod of your head, or withdrawing funds from a ATM with a single glance. Thanks to biometric technology - which uses voice, face, fingerprint, or other physical or behavioral characteristic recognition to 【1】 verify an individual's identity -- those scenarios are not far from becoming reality.
Rapid user identification and more intuitive(簡便的)shopping 【2】 are just a couple of the emerging capabilities of biometrics, which is ready to blossom into a $ 59.31 billion global industry by 2025, according to Grand View Research. Whether it's providing better ways to fight fraud or delivering smarter customer service, the biometrics industry is expanding the 【3】 applications of the technology and transforming human interactions across business and government.
Tools that enable voice recognition, iris recognition, and other methods of identification offer faster and more 【4】 ways to access electronic devices or physical locations by creating unique identifiers such as "voice-prints" and "eye-prints" that can't be faked. They also allow users to maintain consistent digital identities wherever they go.
Millions of smart-phone and tablet users already rely on finger-print scanners and facial recognition systems to unlock or manipulate their devices, but more sophisticated solutions are being 【5】 or are in development across a variety of industries.
"The future of business lies in highly intelligent and automated transactions and smart, faultless customer interactions," says Brett Beranek, general manager of security and biometrics at Nuance Communications. "Among today's fastest-growing trends, the 【6】 toward more nautral and personalized exchanges is quickly making biometrics a go-to technology for firms all around the world, including Fortune 500 leaders."
Nuance has been developing its 【7】 biometrics technologies over the past two decades. Its tools go beyond identifying simple characteristics, such as the sound of an individual's voice, to learning speaking, typing, and behavioral patterns and memorizing 【8】 vocabulary. Such capabilities allow the technologies to recognize when someone is trying to impersonate a customer on the phone or during digital transactions, stopping fraud in its tracks.
Nuance's technology is not only capable of identifying who is 【9】 with it, but also what the user is likely looking for, enabling personalized interactions from the moments they begin. This friction-less experience can be a competitive advantage - driving 【10】 and improving customer satisfaction.

I’ve just moved to a new city, where means I’ve had to study in a new school. I’m fearful that I will lose the track of my old friends, so I decide to keep touch with them by joining a social network. Therefore, my father doesn’t agree with me.

As an old saying going, “Old friends and old wine are best.” I do believe they are of great significant in my life.
