1. Title: Liar Detection 测谎检测Question types：YES/NO/NOT GIVEN; Multiple Choice; Matching 大致内容关于说谎和测谎，谈到身体如何表达情绪，尤其是面部表情和情绪的关系。

称计算机可以鉴别人的面部表情，但由于一种面部表情可以由不同的因素引发，所以该技术还不被法庭认可，还说到人们不同表情时的面部肌肉动作。

YES/NO/NOT GIVEN各题大意为：动物都要撒谎/辨别谎言和撒谎一样重要/用仪器研究大脑的哪个部分产生的撒谎行为/self-preservation等等。

Multiple Choice各题大意为：测谎仪为什么不能在法庭（court）上用/关于politicians的/测谎仪怎么工作。

Matching为将三种情绪（sadness/happiness/anger）与四个面部表情（facial expression）的描述对应。

2. Title: Rights & Wrong in Science 学术道德Question types：TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN; Matching（人物+劣迹）大致内容关于科学上的学术舞弊。

第一部分：引子，学术界有很多抄袭行为；第二部分：Fraud；第三部分：Plagiarism；第四部分：解决措施，现状。

正文中先讲的例子是一个叫W的人，他的老板将他通过实验快得出的理想结论满世界宣扬，但W发现有一个实验结果是无法导出此结论的，于是他摈弃了这个实验，以维护其理想化的结论。

第二个例子包括两个人，一个人被认为是发现了cancer的mechanism,另一个人是Harvard的junior research（注意：他并不是medical institute的，后面有一道match题，有一个迷惑选项是Harvard medical institute）。

他在Harvard发表的论文数以千计。

后来，这两个人的行为都被其他科学家怀疑并揭发，两人都失去了工作。

然后讲名撰稿人的问题。

有一个叫W的人将自己的一篇论文提交给一个科学家研究组织并得到通过。

后来在继续整理的时候忽然发现一个叫J的人的论文完全引用了他的观点和论据，于是一怒之下将J和J论文
上的名誉撰稿人G告了。

后来调查发现，某名牌大学的高级教授G，也就是J的导师，根本不知道此事。

而由于G德高望重，导致此事的调查颇为繁难。

最后此事澄清，W也对科学厌倦而放弃了科学研究（match中的一题become disillusioned and quit scientific research就是指W）。

最后讲到了科学家如何通过申报已经有进展的研究项目，来申请研究资金的问题。

TRUE/FALSE/NOT GIVEN主要是作者对fraud的一个总论，各题大意为：科学家中大部分人是做Academic research的/urge科学家成就的是他们的peers/这样申请研究资金是否为其他科学家接受/赞助单位已经默许这样的行为等。

Matching 科学家1：试验结果没有达到预期科学家2和3：发表文章太多被曝光科学家4：由于成果被剽窃，理想破灭，放弃研究科学家5：剽窃他人成果科学家6：挂名发表文章
3. Title: Avalanche 雪崩Question types：Summary; Matching; Labelling a Diagram 大致内容关于雪崩，说了雪崩的研究机构，雪崩产生的原因，一是自然原因，二是人为原因，以及如何应对雪崩造成的危害和对它的预测等。

Matching为段落信息配对题，包括雪崩可能与人类的活动有关/雪崩可能与atmosphere有关/收集雪做测试/system怎么spread/雪崩很难预测/防范措施降低危害等。

Labelling a Diagram为一山体滑坡的图，35degrees Treeline, tree, anchor, windward, weaker layer, snowpack, breaks away...
