Competitors gather at the Bridge Inn every year for the competition, a small pu

27、b in northwestern England. Anyone can take part in the competition. Well, almost anyway; the reporters note that lawyers and politicians are banned, who is said to enjoy an unfair advantage in the proceedings (进程).A study published this past July in the journal Evolution & Human Behavior found that

28、nearly all lies are detectable through visible facial muscle (肌肉) reactions in the person telling a lie. “Thus, while interpersonal deception (欺骗) often is highly successful, signs of hidden emotional states are communicated clearly to the informed observer,” the study concluded.A churchman of Carli

29、sle reportedly holds what may be the greatest lie of all time in the competition, simply stating, I have never told a lie in my life.In 2003, Abrie Krueger of South Africa became the first non-Brit to win the competition.

34、n 300 private car owners from a central Chinese city volunteered to offer free rides to citizens to ease crowded public transportation, but many local people didnt accept the offer for fear of being cheated.The ride-share program was begun in October in Zhengzhou, capital of Henan Province, when Ye

35、Zhantong, a private car driver, started to gather volunteers to offer the free service. The drivers tied a green silk ribbon (丝带) on the car to differentiate themselves from unlicensed taxi drivers. But the free rides havent been popular among the public as increasing reports of dishonesty have drie

36、d up many local citizens trust towards strangers.Ye said some of the volunteers have dropped out after they felt their kind intention was being questioned. Passersby walking in heavy rainfall or passengers who missed a bus would remain silent and walk away when the volunteers would stop and offer a

37、ride.“Its so common that people give us the cold shoulder, and sometimes, take our kindness as ill will,” said one of Yes volunteers, identified as Binge. “Many would even say: Lets get out of here quickly to avoid being cheated by him.” Some commenters on Weibo explained why they hesitated to parti

38、cipate in a ride-share program. “Trusting a stranger might bring huge risks.

42、. so badly that it no longer existsCPulling luggage through the airport can be a pain, as any frequent traveler will tell you. A new suitcase called only “Hop” is looking to change all of that, though, using signals from your cell phone to go hands-free. According to Hops official website, the suitc

43、ase uses three sensors (感应器) to identify the Bluetooth signal from your phone and pick you out of a crowd. Once its done that, a microprocessor not only figures out Hops position as it relates to your phone, but controls the two caterpillar tracks (履带) in the bottom of the unit to get it moving. Hop

44、 follows behind the user at a constant distance, so you dont have to worry about it “stepping” on your heels, so to speak. If it loses the signal its following, your phone will vibrate, letting you know that your poor suitcase is lost and alone in a sea of strange people.We can see Hop in action in

45、the video below, and we have to say that it looks like a great little device. Theres just one problem: it looks as if youll have to walk at a relatively slow pace to keep the suitcase from losing the signal. Since a walk through an airport is rarely a leisurely experience, that could potentially cau

46、se troubles. Also, dont expect TSA agents to just smile and wave as you walk through security with a remote-controlled suitcase tailing you.Still, the idea behind Hop is really cool, and were willing to believe that there are some frequent flyers who would like to put down some money for it right th

47、is instant. However, this is just a model at the moment, so dont expect it to be available for sale anytime soon (if it ever is, for that matter). Would you purchase one of these if Hop ever became available commercially?66. What is “to go hands-free”?A. The new suitcase.B. Your cell phone.C. Signal

48、s from your cell phone.D. Frequent travelers.67. Which paragraph tells about how Hop works?A. Paragraph One. B. Paragraph Two.C. Paragraph Three. D. Paragraph Four.68. The article is probably taken from _.A. Hops official websiteB. a website of worldwide newsC. a Western newspaperD. a Chinese newspa

49、per69. According to the article, Hop may run into trouble because _.A. your cell phone fails to tell you Hop is lostB. its caterpillar tracks arent powerful enoughC. you usually walk too fast for Hop to followD. TSA agents wont be patient enough70. What does the writer think of the invention?A. Hop

50、will be in production soon.B. Hop is sure to be popular someday.C. Its silly to have thought of that.D. Hop might never go on sale.DThere is a unique place where deserted factories have been transformed into a lively artistic zone where the citys tradition and heritage (遗产) meet with cutting-edge ar

51、t and fashion. This is Redtory.Located at Yuancun Si Heng Lu, not far from the Pearl River of Guangzhou city, Redtory is a creative cultural and industrial zone made up of more than 30 old buildings mostly red-brick ones. Back in 1956, it used to be the biggest canning factory in China. The factory

52、produced the Can Dace (鲮鱼) with Black Bean Sauce, an iconic food productin the last century, well-known throughout south-east Asia. After the local governments industrial structure reformations, the canning factory moved away and the workshops were left deserted. There was nothing left but memories

53、in well-preserved Soviet-style buildings.Not long after the noise of the running machines was gone, posters of advertisement and art were found hanging on the wall in the area.

Large international cultural exchange activities, art exhibitions and seminars are often held here, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors eve

55、ry year. Meanwhile, waste materials have been used wisely instead of being thrown away. For instance, someinstallations (设施) standing around the area are made up of the rusty machines or components from the old canning factory.The shabby and nostalgic (怀旧的) appearance combined with fashionable and a

56、rtistic features makes Redtory uniquely attractive. That may be the reason that Redtory is considered the holy land for young art-lovers in Guangzhou.Add.: No.128 Yuancun Si Heng Lu, Tianhe District, GuangzhouBus: Yuancun Er Heng Rd Stop 40,44,140,284,293,299,401,504,540,542,583,882；Yuancun Stop Ter

One woman reaches into her purse for her cell phone and hits 911, the emergency number. Three minutes later, sirens (警报) are heard in the d

62、istance as a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck race to the area. Within ten minutes, the stricken man is in the back of an ambulance and went to the hospital for life-saving treatment.2 This scene is fairly common in Toronto and other major cities. Over the years, cities have developed syste

63、ms to respond quickly to emergencies. It has resulted in many lives being saved. But none of this _ without the cooperation of car drivers who yield (让路) to emergency vehicles on busy downtown streets.

64、fically, to get out of the way. It means pulling to the side of the road to let others pass. As yet, China does not have any specific laws that require drivers to yield, whether it is for slower cars to move over to the inside lane of a highway or for all cars to give way to emergency vehicles.
