Passage to be read aloud by the teacher:
“Lying well is a special talent which is not easily acquired,” says a University of California psychologist who has studied lying for twenty years. Good liars must be natural actors, have charming man-ners, and be able to manage their ex-pressions. Experts report that even with standard polygraph tests, it can be very difficult to detect particularly good liars.
Polygraph, or lie-detector, tests are used about one million times a year by pri-vate companies, police departments, and federal agencies, including the military and the CIA.
There is much controversy over the accuracy of polygraph tests. Over four thousand articles and books have been published which insist that polygraph tests are reliable. However, many experts are convinced that the lie detectors can be fooled by biting one’s tongue, or using drugs, hypnosis, and biofeedback.
Throughout history, people have tried to detect lies. In ancient India, a favorite method was the “donkey tail” system.
People suspected of lying were sent into a dark hut to pull the tail of a donkey inside.
They were told the donkey would bray if the person pulling the tail were guilty. The suspected liars didn’t know that the don-key’s tail had been covered with soot. The guilty parties would be the ones without soot on their hands. Activity 2 (page 142)
Passage to be read aloud by the teacher:
Almost all people daydream during a nor-mal day. They tend to daydream the most during those quiet times when they are alone in their cars, sitting in waiting rooms, or preparing for bed. Daydreaming or fantasizing is not abnormal; it is a basic hu-man characteristic. Most people report that
they enjoy their daydreams. Some people have very probable and realistic daydreams, while others have unrealistic fantasies such as inheriting a million dollars.
Psychologists report that men daydream as much as women, but the subject of their daydreams or fantasies is different.
Men daydream more about being heroes and good athletes, while women tend to daydream about fashion and beauty. As people grow older, they tend to fantasize less, although it is still evident in old age.
Older people tend to daydream a lot about the past.
Daydreaming or fantasizing enters into the games of children. Psychologists be-lieve that it is very important for children to participate in fantasy play. It is a normal part of their development that helps them develop their imaginations.
Daydreaming has advantages and disad-vantages. In some situations, it can reduce people’s fear or anxiety. It can also keep them entertained or awake under dull or boring conditions. Unfortunately, to engage in a daydream or fantasy, people must divert part of their attention from their en-vironment. When it is important for people to remain alert and pay attention to what is going on around them, daydreaming can cause problems.

Passage to be read aloud by the teacher:
The heart is a powerful organ. It is lo-cated in the chest directly under the breastbone. The human heart, and that of other mammals such as bears, monkeys,
and horses, is divided into four cham-bers. A bird’s heart is also divided into the same four chambers. These chambers are the left and right auricles and the left and right ventricles. The functions of the auricles are to receive blood from the veins and to push it into the ventricles.
The functions of the ventricles are to pump the blood out of the heart and then to pump it around the body.

B. It’s located in the chest under the breastbone.

Passage to be read aloud by the teacher:
Umbrella is a Latin word. It comes from umbra, which means “shade.”
The first person to use an umbrella was the cave dweller, who tied several palm leaves together to provide shade from the hot sun.
In the early 1900s, umbrellas were very large and heavy. They had forty ribs that were made of whalebone and covered with a heavy canvas. Today, umbrellas are light-weight and compact. The ribs are made of aluminum and covered with plastic or other waterproof material. But they still haven’t made an umbrella you won’t leave behind!
Bus, train, and cab companies say they find more umbrellas than anything else.

Passage to be read aloud by the teacher:
People who work at night between
10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. are often affected by lack of sleep. This is a very serious dis-order that causes 50 percent of all accidents at work.
There are several symptoms of sleep deprivation. These include extreme drowsi-ness and difficulty concentrating. People who don’t get enough sleep often complain of headaches. They also suffer from insom-nia when they do try to sleep during the day.
Night-shift workers have a greater risk for developing health problems associated with a lack of sleep. They often develop gastrointestinal disorders and digestive problems, as well as heart attacks.
Night-shift workers avoid sleeping during the day for many reasons. They use the day as an opportunity to do other things like take a second job. They often run errands such as grocery shopping and driving their children to school. They also set appointments with doctors and auto or home repair people. They even use the day to visit with friends.
Experts offer some tips for helping night-shift workers sleep more easily
dur-ing the day. They stress the importance of making sleep a priority and state the body needs eight hours of sleep daily. They sug-gest that night workers split daytime sleep-ing periods in two and sleep from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. and again from 4:00 to 8:00 p.m.
The experts also offer suggestions for overcoming insomnia when night-shift workers try to sleep during the day. They recommend creating a quiet and dark environment to sleep in. Further, they should avoid doing household activities in bed, like balancing the checkbook or making grocery lists. Dr. Gary Richardson, a researcher at the Sleep Disorders Center of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, says to stop drinking caffeinated drinks or alco-hol several hours before bedtime. He also states that daily exercise will have an effect on your quality of sleep.

3. Avoid caffeine 4. Avoid alcohol 5. Get daily exercise Activity (page 147)
