Not even Dan Brown and his Da Vinci code-breakers (密碼破譯者) dared deal with the mystery of Mona Lisa’s smile. But Nicu Sebe, a computer expert at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, did． He used ‘emotion recognition’ software to process the famous painting and found Mona Lisa happy (83 per cent) and slightly disgusted (厭煩的) (9 per cent).

Faces show emotions. Psychology, computer science, and engineering researchers are joining forces to teach machines to read expressions. If they succeed, your computer may one day “read” your mood． Machines equipped with emotional skills could also be used in teaching, gaming, mind-reading, etc.

“Mind Reader”, a system developed by Rosalind Picard at MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in the US, uses input from a video camera to do real-time analysis of facial expressions. It reports on whether you seem “interested” or “agreeable” or if you’re “confused”. The system can help people recognize others’ emotions. Picard says this means we could teach a machine to be as sensitive as a human. In fact, a machine can be even smarter than people since it can tell if a person is lying or just “performing” by analyzing one’s facial movements.

Jeffrey Cohn, a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh, uses the Facial Action Coding System to recognize human emotions. The system sorts more than 40 action units (AUS) of the face to tell people’s real emotions. He studied a videotape of a criminal who said to be sad about the murder of several family members and tried to pin the blame on someone else. But Cohn saw no real sadness in the woman’s face.

Sadness is a group of AUS that is difficult to do at the same time. You have to pull down the corners of your lips while bringing your eyebrows together and raising them. What the woman did was raise her cheeks to make a lip curl (撇嘴). Her brows stayed smooth.

1．The best title of this passage is “_________”.

     A．The emotion on your face                     B．Look at your face

       C．Your face tells a story                          D．Telling a lie

2．The missing sentence “This means, even though your mouth lies, your face doesn’t, and the machine will know it all.” should be put at the end of __________.

   A．Paragraph 2           B．Paragraph 3         C．Paragraph 4             D．Paragraph 5

3．How many facial emotion analyses are mentioned in this passage?

   A．Four.                    B．Three.                 C．Two.                      D．One.

4．The underlined word “it” refers to __________.

　　"Mark Twain" was the name used by Samuel Langhorne Clemens (1835-1910) when he wrote books. His father was a lawyer, but a poor one, who lived at Florida, Missouri. The family was so poor that Samuel did not receive much teaching. He had to learn all that he could from the people whom he met. His father died when he was very young, and then there was even less money than before.

　　Many of the men in this part of America worked in the ships on the great River Mississippi, and he did this himself at one time (1857).

　　Where did he find the name "Mark Twain"? It came from the great river itself. It was part of one of the cries used by men who worked in the ships. When a man called "By the mark twain!"  he meant that the river was "two marks deep" there, that is to say, six feet deep ( "Twain" is an old form of the work "Two".) Samuel Clemens often heard these words when he was young, and he used them as a penname all his life.

　　During his work on the Mississippi he met travelers of all kinds, and this helped him a great deal when he started to write. But the number of travelers became smaller when war started in America in 1861. Many of the great ships on the river stopped work. Samuel left then and went to Nevada with his brother, who was at that time Governor of Nevada. There, near the town of Carson, Samuel became a gold miner, but he never made much money at the time. He soon saw that life in the gold mines was not for him. He also tried writing for the newspapers in Nevada, and this seemed more hopeful. He found that he could write.

　　He went to Europe in 1867 and visited France and Italy. In 1870 he married Olivia Langdon, and two years later he was spending nearly all his time writing. Among his books is his own story (1908).

　　He is now always known as Mark Twain, and many people do not even know that his family name was Clemens. He traveled in America and in England, and went to Oxford in 1907. He was one of  the great American writers of the time, and could make his readers laugh – a thing which few writers can do. He died in 1910.

"Mark Twain" was _________.

      A. a famous American writer  B. name of a book

      C. a great river in America  D. a large ship

As a child, Samuel did not get much education because _________.

A.his father died too early

B.the family was very poor

  C. he disliked school very much

D. he could learn what he liked from the people he met

What gave him a great deal when he started writing? _______

A. His poor childhood     B. The Mississippi river 

C. All kinds of travelers he met  D. His brother

We can infer from the passage that ________.

A. Samuel loved writing from his early age

B. Samuel did not love writing at the beginning

C. his writings to the newspaper were successful

D. his brother encouraged him to write more

According to the writer of the passage, a good writer could _________.

A. write a lot for his readers

B. make a lot of money for his family

C. cause his readers to laugh

D. travel everywhere he wanted

Today, when a man steps on to the moon, or something new and important happens, the world learns about it immediately. What did the newspapers say about that first flight in 1903? Strangely enough, they said hardly anything about it at all. There are only a few reports about it in the papers. These reports said very little. Some of the things they said were not even correct.

In 1904 the Wrights built a second machine. They called it “Flyer No. Two”. They invited some reporters to a field near Dayton to watch them fly. Unfortunately, there was some mechanical(機(jī)械的) trouble with the plane and it did not fly at all that day. The newspapermen went away. They were disappointed and did not come back. The Wrights went on with their work. In 1905, they built an even better machine, “Flyer No Three”. They were able to stay upon the air for half an hour and more in the machine. Farmers and travelers on the road around the Dayton often saw them flying, but when three people told newspapermen about it, they refused to believe them.

The Wrights offered “Flyer No. Three” to the United States government. The government was not interested. They seemed to think the Wrights wanted money in order to build a plane. They did not understand the Wrights had already done this, and flown it as well. Experts were still saying that mechanical flight was impossible. At the end of 1905, the two brothers took their planes to pieces. The parts were put into a huge wooden box. It seemed nobody was interested.

3.The Wrights took their plane to pieces because________.

A．they planned to go to Europe

B．nobody was interested

C．the government didn't give them any money
