READING PASSAGE 1

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1–13, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.

HOW TO SPOT A LIAR

However much we may abhor it, deception comes naturally to all living things. Birds do it by
feigning injury to lead hungry predators away from nesting young. Spider crabs do it by
disguise: adorning themselves with strips of kelp and other debris, they pretend to be
something they are not – and so escape their enemies. Nature amply rewards successful
deceivers by allowing them to survive long enough to mate and reproduce. So it may come as
no surprise to learn that human beings- who, according to psychologist Gerald Johnson of the
University of South California, or lied to about 200 times a day, roughly one untruth every 5
minutes- often deceive for exactly the same reasons: to save their own skins or to get something
they can’t get by other means.

But knowing how to catch deceit can be just as important a survival skill as knowing how to
tell a lie and get away with it. A person able to spot falsehood quickly is unlikely to be
swindled by an unscrupulous business associate or hoodwinked by a devious spouse.
Luckily, nature provides more than enough clues to trap dissemblers in their own tangled
webs- if you know where to look. By closely observing facial expressions, body language and
tone of voice, practically anyone can recognise the tell-tale signs of lying. Researchers are
even programming computers – like those used on Lie Detector -to get at the truth by
analysing the same physical cues available to the naked eye and ear. “With the proper
training, many people can learn to reliably detect lies,” says Paul Ekman, professor of
psychology at the University of California, San Francisco, who has spent the past 15 years
studying the secret art of deception.

In order to know what kind of Lies work best, successful liars need to accurately assess other
people’s emotional states. Ackman’s research shows that this same emotional intelligence is
essential for good lie detectors, too. The emotional state to watch out for is stress, the conflict
most liars feel between the truth and what they actually say and do.

Even high-tech lie detectors don’t detect lies as such; they merely detect the physical cues of
emotions, which may or may not correspond to what the person being tested is saying.
Polygraphs, for instance, measure respiration, heart rate and skin conductivity, which tend
AMES ENGLISH

to increase when people are nervous – as they usually are when lying. Nervous people
typically perspire, and the salts contained in perspiration conducts electricity. That’s why
sudden leap in skin conductivity indicates nervousness -about getting caught, perhaps -
which makes, in turn, suggest that someone is being economical with the truth. On the other

©Designed by Academic Department – Hue Branch. All rights reserved® 1

hand, it might also mean that the lights in the television Studio are too hot- which is one reason
polygraph tests are inadmissible in court. “Good lie detectors don’t rely on a single thing” says
Ekma ,but interpret clusters of verbal and non-verbal clues that suggest someone might be
lying.”

The clues are written all over the face. Because the musculature of the face is directly connected
to the areas of the brain that processes emotion, the countenance can be a window to the soul.
Neurological studies even suggest that genuine emotions travel different pathways through
the brain than insincere ones. If a patient paralyzed by stroke on one side of the face, for
example, is asked to smile deliberately, only the mobile side of the mouth is raised. But tell that
same person a funny joke, and the patient breaks into a full and spontaneous smile. Very few
people -most notably, actors and politicians- are able to consciously control all of their facial
expressions. Lies can often be caught when the liars true feelings briefly leak through the mask
of deception. We don’t think before we feel, Ekman says. “Expressions tend to show up on
the face before we’re even conscious of experiencing an emotion.”

One of the most difficult facial expressions to fake- or conceal, if it’s genuinely felt - is sadness.
When someone is truly sad, the forehead wrinkles with grief and the inner corners of the
eyebrows are pulled up. Fewer than 15% of the people Ekman tested were able to produce
this eyebrow movement voluntarily. By contrast, the lowering of the eyebrows associated
with an angry scowl can be replicated at will but almost everybody. “ If someone claims they
are sad and the inner corners of their eyebrows don’t go up, Ekmam says, the sadness is
probably false.”

The smile, on the other hand, is one of the easiest facial expressions to counterfeit. It takes
just two muscles -the zygomaticus major muscles that extend from the cheekbones to the
corners of the lips- to produce a grin. But there’s a catch. A genuine smile affects not only the
corners of the lips but also the orbicularis oculi, the muscle around the eye that produces the
distinctive “crow’s feet” associated with people who laugh a lot. A counterfeit grin can be
unmasked if the corners of the lips go up, the eyes crinkle, but the inner corners of the
eyebrows are not lowered, a movement controlled by the orbicularis oculi that is difficult to
fake. The absence of lowered eyebrows is one reason why the smile looks so strained and
stiff.

READING PASSAGE 2

You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 14-26, which are based on Reading Passage 2 below.

BEING LEFT-HANDED IN A RIGHT-HANDED WORLD

The world is designed for right-handed people. Why does a tenth of the population prefer the
left?

A. The probability that two right-handed people would have a left-handed child is only
about 9.5 percent. The chance rises to 19.5 percent if one parent is a lefty and 26 percent
if both parents are left-handed. The preference, however, could also stem from an infant’s
imitation of his parents. To test genetic influence, starting in the 1970s British biologist
Marian Annett of the University of Leicester hypothesized that no single gene determines
handedness. Rather, during fetal development, a certain molecular factor helps to
strengthen the brain’s left hemisphere, which increases the probability that the right
hand will be dominant, because the left side of the brain controls the right side of the
body, and vice versa. Among the minority of people who lack this factor, handedness
develops entirely by chance. Research conducted on twins complicates the theory,
however. One in fivesets of identical twins involves one right-handed and one left-
handed person, despite the fact that their genetic material is the same. Genes, therefore,
are not solely responsible for handedness.
B. Genetic theory is also undermined by results from Peter Hepper and his team at
Queen’s University in Belfast, Ireland. In 2004 the psychologists used ultrasound to
show that by the 15th week of pregnancy, fetuses already have a preference as to which
thumb they suck. In most cases, the preference continued after birth. At 15 weeks,
though, the brain does not yet have control over the body’s limbs. Hepper speculates
that fetuses tend to prefer whichever side of the body is developing quicker and that
their movements, in turn, influence the brain’s development. Whether this early
preference is temporary or holds up throughout development and infancy is unknown.
Genetic predetermination is also contradicted by the widespread observation that
children do not settle on either their right or left hand until they are two or three years
old.
C. But even if these correlations were true, they did not explain what actually causes left-
handedness. Furthermore, specialization on either side of the body is common among
AMES ENGLISH

animals. Cats will favor one paw over another when fishing toys out from under the
couch. Horses stomp more frequently with one hoof than the other. Certain crabs
motion predominantly with the left or right claw. In evolutionary terms, focusing
power and dexterity in one limb is more efficient than having to train two, four or even

©Designed by Academic Department – Hue Branch. All rights reserved® 5

 eight limbs equally. Yet for most animals, the preference for one side or the other is
seemingly random. The overwhelming dominance of the right hand is associated only
with humans. That fact directs attention toward the brain’s two hemispheres and perhaps
toward language.
D. Interest in hemispheres dates back to at least 1836. That year, at a medical conference,
French physician Marc Dax reported on an unusual commonality among his patients.
During his many years as a country doctor, Dax had encountered more than 40 men and
women for whom speech was difficult, the result of some kind of brain damage. What
was unique was that every individual suffered damage to the left side of the brain. At the
conference, Dax elaborated on his theory, stating that each half of the brain was
responsible for certain functions and that the left hemisphere controlled speech. Other
experts showed little interest in the Frenchman’s ideas. Over time, however, scientists
found more and more evidence of peopleexperiencing speech difficulties following
injury to the left brain. Patients with damage to the right hemisphere most often
displayed disruptions in perception or concentration. Major advancements in
understanding the brain’s asymmetry were made in the 1960s as a result of so-called
split-brain surgery, developed to help patients with epilepsy. During this operation,
doctors severed the corpus callosum—the nerve bundle that connects the two
hemispheres. The surgical cut also stopped almost all normal communication between
the two hemispheres, which offered researchers the opportunity to investigate each
side’s activity.
E. In 1949 neurosurgeon Juhn Wada devised the first test to provide access to the brain’s
functional organization of language. By injecting an anesthetic into the right or left
carotid artery, Wada temporarily paralyzed one side of a healthy brain, enabling him
to more closely study the other side’s capabilities. Based on this approach, Brenda
Milner and the late Theodore Rasmussen of the Montreal Neurological Institute
published a major study in 1975 that confirmed the theory that country doctor Dax had
formulated nearly 140 years earlier: in 96 percent of right-handed people, language is
processed much more intensely in the left hemisphere. The correlation is not as clear in
lefties, however. For two thirds of them, the left hemisphere is still the most active
language processor. But for the remaining third, either the right side is dominant or
both sides work equally, controlling different language functions. That last statistic has
slowed acceptance of the notion that the predominance of right-handedness is driven
AMES ENGLISH

by left-hemisphere dominance in language processing. It is not at all clear why language

control should somehow have dragged the control of body movement with it. Some
experts think one reason the left hemisphere reigns over language is because the organs
of speech processing—the larynx and tongue—are positioned on the body’s symmetry

©Designed by Academic Department – Hue Branch. All rights reserved® 6

 axis. Because these structures were centered, it may have been unclear, in evolutionary
terms, which side of the brain should control them, and it seems unlikely that shared
operation would result in smooth motor activity. Language and handedness could have
developed preferentially for very different reasons as well. For example, some
researchers, including evolutionary psychologist Michael C. Corballis of the University
of Auckland in New Zealand, think that the origin of human speech lies in gestures.
Gestures predated words and helped language emerge. If the left hemisphere began to
dominate speech, it would have dominated gestures, too, and because the left brain
controls the right side of the body, the right hand developed more strongly.
F. Perhaps we will know more soon. In the meantime, we can revel in what, if any,
differences handedness brings to our human talents. Popular wisdom says right-handed,
left-brained people excel at logical, analytical thinking. Lefthanded, right-brained
individuals are thought to possess more creative skills and may be better at combining
the functional features emergent in both sides of the brain. Yet some neuroscientists see
such claims as pure speculation. Fewer scientists are ready to claim that left-
handedness means greater creative potential. Yet lefties are prevalent among artists,
composers and the generally acknowledged great political thinkers. Possibly if these
individuals are among the lefties whose language abilities are evenly distributed
between hemispheres, the intense interplay required could lead to unusual mental
capabilities.
G. Or perhaps some lefties become highly creative simply because they must be more
clever to get by in our right-handed world. This battle, which begins during the very
early stages of childhood, may lay the groundwork for exceptional achievements.

 WHAT IS A DINOSAUR?

A. Although the name dinosaur is derived from the Greek for "terrible lizard", dinosaurs
were not, in fact, lizards at all. Like lizards, dinosaurs are included in the class Reptilia,
or reptiles, one of the five main classes of Vertebrata, animals with backbones. However,
at the next level of classification, within reptiles, significant differences in the skeletal
anatomy of lizards and dinosaurs have led scientists to place these groups of animals
into two different superorders: Lepidosauria, or lepidosaurs, and Archosauria, or
archosaurs.
B. Classified as lepidosaurs are lizards and snakes and their prehistoric ancestors. Included
among the archosaurs, or "ruling reptiles", are prehistoric and modern crocodiles, and
the now extinct thecodonts, pterosaurs and dinosaurs. Palaeontologists believe that both
dinosaurs and crocodiles evolved, in the later years of the Triassic Period (c. 248-208
million years ago), from creatures called pseudosuchian thecodonts. Lizards, snakes
and different types of thecodont are believed to have evolved earlier in the Triassic
Period from reptiles known as eosuchians.
C. The most important skeletal differences between dinosaurs and other archosaurs are
in the bones of the skull, pelvis and limbs. Dinosaur skulls are found in a great range
of shapes and sizes, reflecting the different eating habits and lifestyles of a large and
varied group of animals that dominated life on Earth for an extraordinary 165 million
years. However, unlike the skulls of any other known animals, the skulls of dinosaurs
had two long bones known as vomers. These bones extended on either side of the head,
from the front of the snout to the level of the holes on the skull known as the antorbital
fenestra, situated in front of the dinosaur's orbits or eyesockets.
D. All dinosaurs, whether large or small, quadrupedal or bipedal, fleet-footed or slow-
moving, shared a common body plan. Identification of this plan makes it possible to
differentiate dinosaurs from any other types of animal, even other archosaurs. Most
significantly, in dinosaurs, the pelvis and femur had evolved so that the hind limbs
were held vertically beneath the body, rather than sprawling out to the sides like the
limbs of a lizard. The femur of a dinosaur had a sharply in-turned neck and a ball-
shaped head, which slotted into a fully open acetabulum or hip socket. A supra-
acetabular crest helped prevent dislocation of the femur. The position of the knee joint,
aligned below the acetabulum, made it possible for the whole hind limb to swing
backwards and forwards. This unique combination of features gave dinosaurs what is
AMES ENGLISH

known as a "fully improved gait". Evolution of this highly efficient method of walking
also developed in mammals, but among reptiles it occurred only in dinosaurs.
E. For the purpose of further classification, dinosaurs are divided into two orders:
Saurischia, or saurischian dinosaurs, and Ornithischia, or ornithischian dinosaurs. This
©Designed by Academic Department – Hue Branch. All rights reserved® 12
 division is made on the basis of their pelvic anatomy. All dinosaurs had a pelvic girdle
with each side comprised of three bones: the pubis, ilium and ischium. However, the
orientation of these bones follows one of two patterns. In saurischian dinosaurs, also
known as lizard-hipped dinosaurs, the pubis points forwards, as is usual in most types
of reptile. By contrast, in ornithischian, or bird-hipped, dinosaurs, the pubis points
backwards towards the rear of the animal, which is also true of birds.
F. Of the two orders of dinosaurs, the Saurischia was the larger and the first to evolve. It is
divided into two suborders: Therapoda, or therapods, and Sauropodomorpha, or
sauropodomorphs. The therapods, or "beast feet", were bipedal, predatory carnivores.
They ranged in size from the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex, 12m long, 5.6m tall and
weighing an estimated 6.4 tonnes, to the smallest known dinosaur, Compsognathus, a
mere 1.4m long and estimated 3kg in weight when fully grown. The sauropodomorphs,
or "lizard feet forms", included both bipedal and quadrupedal dinosaurs. Some
sauropodomorphs were carnivorous or omnivorous but later species were typically
herbivorous. They included some of the largest and best-known of all dinosaurs, such
as Diplodocus, a huge quadruped with an elephant-like body, a long, thin tail and neck
that gave it a total length of 27m, and a tiny head.
G. Ornithischian dinosaurs were bipedal or quadrupedal herbivores. They are now
usually divided into three suborders: Ornithipoda, Thyreophora and Marginocephalia.
The ornithopods, or "bird feet", both large and small, could walk or run on their long
hind legs, balancing their body by holding their tails stiffly off the ground behind them.
An example is Iguanodon, up to 9m long, 5m tall and weighing 4.5 tonnes. The
thyreophorans, or "shield bearers", also known as armoured dinosaurs, were
quadrupeds with rows of protective bony spikes, studs, or plates along their backs and
tails. They included Stegosaurus, 9m long and weighing 2 tonnes.
H. The marginocephalians, or "margined heads", were bipedal or quadrupedal
ornithschians with a deep bony frill or narrow shelf at the back of the skull. An example
is Triceratops, a rhinoceros-like dinosaur, 9m long, weighing 5.4 tonnes and bearing a
prominent neck frill and three large horns.
