IV. 閱讀測驗30%:請根據文章,選出一個最恰當的答案。
(1) Have you ever lied? While many people tell lies, they don't usually get caught. To change that, the polygraph machine was invented. The polygraph uses different kinds of machines to see how your body acts when you are telling the truth and when you are lying. The polygraph monitors your heart rate, your blood pressure, your breathing, etc. However, it's only about 80%-90% accurate, as some scientists claimed. So, some people can trick the polygraph. These people may not be able to continue to beat the system now, because a new way, the cognitive approach, has been developed to increase the accuracy of detecting lies. This interview-based approach emphasizes the following three major techniques:
First, imposing cognitive load. Cognitive load concerns the demands placed on a person's cognitive resources (e.g., attention, memory). So, environmental distractions (e.g., noise) or strong emotions (e.g., extreme fear or anger) can decrease the cognitive resources available to a person who is recalling the details of an event. But lying, compared to telling the truth, places a greater demand on one's mental resources; thus, when a liar is asked to describe an event in reverse order, he or she may find it more difficult to do it right.
Second, encouraging the person to say more. In general, people who tell the truth can quickly provide more relevant information when asked. Liars, in contrast, will have to make up additional details. As a result, liars are more likely to give details inconsistent with the information already provided.
Finally, asking the person unanticipated questions. As we know, when given enough time, liars can prepare themselves for the interview by anticipating the questions they may be asked. Such prepared lies are usually difficult to detect because they are less likely to be associated with typical deception cues. So, one way to detect lies when the liar has had plenty of time to prepare is by asking unanticipated questions. Compared to liars, truth-tellers will answer these questions more quickly and consistently and provide more information.
While this new cognitive approach still needs more evidence to confirm its accuracy to detect lies, it has served to reinforce the importance of being honest and telling the truth.

(A) A new way to catch lies
(B) How our brain lies to us
(C) Ways to trick a Polygraph
(D) Why we should tell the truth

(2) William Grant Still was a notable Black American composer and conductor. His music had many diverse influences. He was born in Mississippi in 1895, but raised by his mother and grandmother in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was an excellent high school student and studied medicine at Wilberforce University in Ohio. Before finishing these studies, however, he turned his attention to music. He began his formal musical education at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, and then moved to New England to learn composition with George Chadwick and later Edgard Varese. These two famous composers had great influence on his works. In the 1920s he worked as an arranger for some prominent band leaders such as Paul Whiteman. In 1936 he conducted the Los Angeles Symphony in his own compositions. He became the first Black American to conduct a professional orchestra in the United States. Three years later, he married Verna Arvey, a pianist who later co-wrote many of his librettos.
Still made a lifelong commitment to documenting the disadvantaged position of Blacks in American society. This is reflected in many of his works, most notably the ballet "Sahdji", set in Africa and written after an extensive study of African music, and the opera "Troubled Island", with a libretto by the distinguished writer Langston Hughes. His compositions from the 1930s show the jazz band as one of the greatest influences on his musical style. He also made considerable use of traditional folk ballads and spirituals. His work was sometimes criticized as simple and commercial, but was always characterized by the highest standards of professionalism. His "Afro-American Symphony" met with great success. One critic even praised it as "the most characteristically indigenous piece" ever written in the United States.
