Scientists can figure out a movie’s emotional tone from the gasps of its audience.Sure，the sounds are a clue，but so are the chemicals that viewers breathe in each time they sigh and scream，a new study suggests.

“You hear the music and see the pictures，but you don’t realize there’re chemical signals in the air，” says Jonathan Williams，who led the study and works at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz，Germany.

Williams started out measuring the air in a soccer stadium.He wanted to see if the fans’ exhaled(呼出的) breaths might affect levels of greenhouse gases in the air.Carbon dioxide, which people breathe out，is one example.And he found the answer was no at least on a small scale.But he noticed levels of carbon dioxide shifted wildly whenever the crowd cheered.That got him wondering：Could the gases people exhale be influenced by emotions?

So Williams went to the movies.He and his coworkers measured air samples collected over six weeks in two movie theaters.Overall,9,500 moviegoers watched 16 films including a mix of comedy，romance，action and horror films.Then they looked for hundreds of chemicals in the air that showed up as people were watching particular

movie scenes.

Scenes that had people laughing or on_the_edge_of_their_seats were especially unique，the researchers reported.During screenings of The Hunger Games：Catching Fire，levels of carbon dioxide and isoprene(异戊二烯) were the highest at two terrifying moments.Because isoprene was involved in muscle movement，the researchers thought tense movie moments likely led to its highest level.Williams and his colleagues thought an increase in the amount of carbon dioxide was due to the viewers’ increased pulse and breathing rates.

Scientists need more data to make stronger links between human emotions and what’s in their breath.But Williams can see possible practical panies，for instance, could quickly measure the air during tests to see how people feel about new products.

1．What did Jonathan Williams find in the study conducted in a soccer stadium?

A．Emotions affected the gases people breathe out.

B．Human cheers changed levels of carbon dioxide.

C．Human breaths affected levels of greenhouse gases.

D．The exhaled chemicals were linked to what were eaten.

2．What does the underlined part “on the edge of their seats” in Para.5 mean?

A．Nervous. B．Touched.

C．Happy. D．Puzzled.

3．What does Jonathan Williams think of his study in movie theaters?

A．Creative. B．Unsuccessful.

C．Systematic. D．Meaningful.

4．What is the best title for the passage?

A．Watching Movies Is Good for Our Emotions

B．The Useful Role of Chemical Signals in the Air

C．Our Breaths Show Our Emotions at the Movies

D．Reasons for Levels of Carbon Dioxide in Theaters

Scientists have known for decades that having measles(麻疹) suppresses kids’ immune systems for several weeks or months，leaving them ill­equipped to fight off pneumonia，bronchitis and other infections.

Now a team of researchers has suggested that the measles virus may also leave a longer­lasting sort of “immune­amnesia(免疫缺失)” that makes it harder for people
