These go to the recycling plant to be sorted and madeinto new things.IncineratorAn incinerator is a huge stove that burns trash to make heatand electrici

29、ty. The ash that's left gets buried in a landfill.Trash ash can be poisonous, so it has to be stored carefully.But it takes up a lot less room than just plain trash.CompostFood waste might go to a composter.

34、s, and pictures that parents can feel they don't need to screen in advance.When you are a big person, a movie seen in a theatre is much larger than life; when you're a little person, it can be like a new entry opening in the universe. Those experiences matter, and Disney knows the power and

35、the profit potential of what's in its values, which helps explain the studio's ongoing strategy of remaking its most popular animated films, often in live - action versions.How do you feel about director's interpretation of these movies, a combination of live - action filmmaking techniqu

36、es, virtual - reality methods and computer - generated imaginary, depends largely on how you feel about the original. The stories, even with a gently updated script, are roughly the same. If you've seen the original, you know how the rest of them go.In the following years, we'll also watch o

37、ther Disney's remakes such as Mulan. Any children raised by Disney films would think that this is a great time to be alive. Right?But judging by critics' ratings of some live - action movies, it seems that the powerful studio has been unable to wow audiences.So why more live actions?The mone

38、yLet's face it: Walt Disney Pictures is all about generating more revenue. Even though it did not manage to capture critics, it still managed to catch the audience's hearts. And that is more than enough. After all, films are not made to entertain critics; it's all about creating an ultim

39、ate cinematic experience for casual moviegoers. And as long as they're entertained with new interpretations of beloved stories, why stop making live- action films?InclusionWhen you spend your entire childhood dancing and singing along to these characters， it's beyond magical to see them agai

40、n when you're an adult and are the same age as them. That's one of the few magical effects of movies. Not to mention, Aladdin's South Asian cast is also a strong statement for the world. Perhaps this is also the reason why Disney wants Mulan to have an all Asian cast. Let's hope they

41、're not the only ones and Disney is bringing more diverse stories to be told.Nostalgia （怀旧）All of these Disney remakes are designed to fuel the nostalgia of boomers, Gen X - ers and millennials, and many of the moviegoers who grew up with these movies, in particular, now have young kids of their

45、ust a children's fairy tale, but Spanish scientists at the University of Granada recently investigated the so- called “ Pinocchio effect ” and found that our noses don't grow when we tell a lie, but actually shrink a bit.Dr. Emilio G cmez Mil n and his team developed a lie detector test that

46、 used thermography to tell if people were lying, and found that whenever participants in their research were being untruthful, the temperature of the tips of their noses dropped up to 1.2° C, while the temperature of their forehead , 10 ,increased up to 1.5 . Scientists also found that drop in

47、temperature at nose level actually caused it to slightly shrink, although the difference is undetected by the human eye.“One has to think in order to lie, which rises the temperature of the foreheadDr. G cmez Mil cnexplained the findings. “ At the same time we feel anxious ， which lowers the tempera

48、ture of the nose. ”For this study, researchers asked a number of 60 students to perform various tasks while being scanned by thermal imaging technology. One of these tasks involved calling a 3 to 4 minutes call to their parents, partner or a friend and telling a significant lie. Participants had to

49、devise the lie themselves during the call, and the thermal cameras picked up this “ reverse Pinocchio effect ”caused by the fluctuation( 起伏 ) in temperature in the nose and forehead.Interestingly, the thermal lie detector picked up the temperature difference in 80 percent of test subjects, which is

50、a better rate of success than that of any modern lie detector.“ With this method we have achieved to increase accuracy and reduce the occurrence of false positives ， something that is frequent with other methods such as the polygraph( 测谎仪)， ” said Dr.Emilio G cmez Mil (n, who added that law enforcem

51、ent interviewers could one day combine other lie detection technology with thermal imaging to achieve better results.The thermal lie detector has been the most reliable in the world, 10% more than the popular polygraph.()61.

53、at can we learn about the research?A. Researchers conduct the study by interviewing.B. Researchers design different lies for participants.C. The thermal lie detector will prove a popular one.D. The thermal lie detector may assist law enforcement.()64. Which might be the best title for the passage?.1

54、2 A. Will lie detectors tell the truth? B. Will lying make your nose longer?C. Will lying make your temperature rise? D. Will thermal imaging technology be reliable?DFor people moving to Australia, Price(2001) has identified certain values which may give rise to cultural shock. Firstly, he argues th

55、at Australians place a high value on independence and personal choice. This means that a teacher or course tutor will not tell students what to do, but will give them a number of options and suggest they work out which one is the best in their circumstances. It also means that they are expected to t

56、ake action if something goes wrong and seek out resources and support for themselves.Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believe there is one truth. This means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the reas

57、ons for that point of view and the evidence for it.Price also comments that Australians are uncomfortable with differences in status and hence idealize the idea of treating everyone equally. An illustration of this is that most adult Australians call each other by their first names. This concern wit

58、h equality means that Australians are uncomfortable taking anything too seriously and are even ready to joke about themselves.Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence, some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study.Australian concepts of privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may dislike someone actually asking them unle
