Therefore
32、 it has been scheduled at the end of the month. Sensational plays, dances and also a great many art exhibitions are all in the list of the programmes, but the most famous one is its great street music in the festival. In todays report, however, Im interested in looking at some of the theatrical even
33、ts that you might like to see; especially, at this years topic-circuses. Id like to tell you something about the circus performances, not plenty of others in the programme. The reason why Ive chosen these is that they represent distinct movements within circus performances. The Circus Romano is the

38、 Dr Daniel Langleben, an assistant professor of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School.Doctor Langleben, as well as his co-workers, has experimented with brain scans which is computerized-functional magnetic resonance imaging. The amount of blood flow to different sections of th
39、e brain can be shown by this huge machine in exact details. The purpose for their experiment is that they wanted to know whether changes could be measured inside the brain when people are deceitful. They asked people to tell lies inside the scanner and lie by their teeth. When combining answers from
40、 many test subjects and, meanwhile, averaging them by a computer, they clearly discover that when people lie, they use more sections of the brain compared with telling the truth. That is to say, people may naturally be honest. The brain works harder when it tells lies.（分数：4.00）(1).What is the best t
