James had thought it would be quite easy to speak in front of 21 classmates.“I was wrong. It was very different and much22 than talking to my classmates during playtime,” James said. “I tried, but it was really difficult to speak. I felt like a mute (哑巴) and wanted to leave the classroom 23 .”James is not alone.

The report was based on a survey of 201,488 entries (词目) by1,728 blog (博客) users last year.It listed the top 10 hottest buzzwords, including “house purchasing quota (限购)”,“school bus” and “plasticizing agent (塑化剂)”.“House purchasing quota” is a policy by the government tocontrol (调控) house prices in some big cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai. “School bus” got many people’s attention because therewere some school bus accidents earlier this year. In April the State Council (国务院) set new rules about school bus safety. “Plasticizing agent” is something that was found in some foods. Experts believe ithurts people’s health.Hou Min, a professor at Communication University of China,said that the change of buzzwords shows real changes in Chinese society.

You may think it’s just a s tory towarn kids, but a new study shows your nose does give you awaywhen you tell a lie.If a person is lying, his or her nose will change, not in length(长度), but in temperature. Scientists at the University of Grenada, Spain are calling it the “Pinocchio effect”. The temperature of your nose rises when you tell a lie, according tothe magazine Pop Science.The scientists use a technology called thermography (热成像) to see these changes. They took infrared (红外线的) pictures with a special camera that can show the temperature changes. The “Pinocchio effect” is a change in body temperature related (有关系的) to feelings.When we lie about our feelings, the temperature around our noses rises. This is because a part of the brain called the insula (脑岛) is activated (使活动). This part controls both feelings and body temperature. It only activates when we have real feelings. The scientists found when the insula is activated, our body temperature rises, especially the nose. They also found the feeling of anxiety (焦虑) makes our face temperature rise. But when we do difficult mental (脑力的) work, our face temperature drops.Besides feelings, thermography can also spot a drunk (醉鬼). Scientists at the University of Patras, Greece took infrared pictures of faces of drunken people. They found that for drunken people, the nose and mouth are hotter than other parts of the face.46.
