iPhone 6 is going to be released this year We read rumors every day on the Internet With the help of social media rumors no matter whether they are true or false spread like wildfire and sometimes we can t be sure what to believe Now an international group of researchers might be able to make it easier for us They are working on a lie detector that could separate online truth from lies Discovery News reported Named after the Greek goddess Pheme famed for spreading bad rumors the system is far from a traditional lie detector which works by attaching a machine to a potential liar Instead Pheme analyzes the rumor directly When a rumor comes out on a micro blog for example Pheme can trace the source of information to see if it was released by reliable sources like experts or news agencies If it wasn t Pheme then examines the history and background of the account to identify whether it was created just to spread rumors After finding the source of the rumor the system can keep a close eye on how other users react to the rumor either confirming or denying it to help analyze and further determine the reliability of the information Some people might find the Pheme system unnecessary based on the idea that false rumors never survive for long and people always get to the truth over time While that s a fair point there is a certain class of rumors such as a tiger is at large or an asteroid 小行星 is about to hit the Earth that can cause panic among people and thus lead to serious consequences These are cases when we need to be able to check for accuracy quickly Our system aims to help with that by tracking and verifying 查证 information in real time a leading researcher Kalina Bontcheva at the University of Sheffield UK told the BBC According to Bontcheva Pheme is still under development and won t be ready for another 18 months Until then there s an old fashioned technique that you can use to protect yourself from false information ask questions check sources and don t believe any claim until you ve seen the evidence 58 What is the article mainly about A Tips on how to deal with rumors online B Factors that make rumors so easy to spread C A new device that can check whether online rumors are true or not D An introduction to some types of lie detectors 59 How does the Pheme system determine the reliability of a piece of information A Based on how the majority of people react to it B Based on the reliability of its sources and the history of its authors C By collecting and examining relevant information to further confirm it D By making use of an Internet bot to track and verify the information 60 Which of the following statements might the author agree with A The Pheme system is not very helpful because all rumors eventually die down B The Pheme system will be ready to help social networks become more accurate by the end of 2014 C The Pheme system can identify almost all kinds of rumors on social networking sites D The Pheme system aims to respond

materials for a charity fashion show Through this highly meaningful and profound experience I became aware of the importance of protecting and preserving our environment when designing and making fashion items resulting in my founding an organization to promote eco friendly design and fashion My interest has led me to research areas of fashion that have environmental implications For ex ample some popular clothing stores have announced marketing policies designed to improve the envi ronment For those of us who are eco conscious it is responsible for us to evaluate whether such policies are just a marketing promotion or represent great efforts to protect our environment Three chain stores H some people would say their message is thoroughly misleading It promotes the green image and yet many of their supposed eco friendly products do not help the environment For example it sells a Think Green Tote that according to the site is meant to send an environmentally friendly message However it is made of 100 non organic cotton which is one of the most damaging fabrics to the environment mostly because it requires greater chemical intervention compared to organic cotton Also the I Love My Planet Tote is supposed to make a positive statement but is also made of 100 cotton that is not organic The only tote that is environmentally friendly is the H81 Organic Cotton Tote from Forever 21 s

the following statements can be the best title A Does the Trend of Eco Friendly Help the Environment B Green Products Are Common in Fashion Stores C A Survey of Eco Friendly Design on Fashion Markets D Are Chain Stores in Fashion Really Going Green D Many years ago I went through a tough time One afternoon I picked my girls up It was late when we returned home I went to unlock the door and found my key wouldn t go in I kept trying while my daughter went to get a flashlight When she returned with it we found somehow the lock had been stuffed with sunflower seed shells Thinking that one of the neighborhood children had been up to no good I really didn t give it much consideration I found all windows were locked up tight So I returned to the back door Oh my God I will never forget the shock of that moment The house was empty Other than a few things remaining on the back porch everything was gone Then I heard a car pull into the driveway and found two policemen walking up They inquired why I had broken into the house They then asked me for proof that I lived at that address so I asked them to wait a minute while I went to get my rent receipt and identification from inside the house I explained the matter to them and showed them the door lock At this point they were not buying any of my story I could tell from their actions and tone of voice that they thought I was breaking into an empty house for somewhere to sleep I asked a neighbor for the phone number of house owner and the officer made a call The owner was quite shocked to hear my story She said that my roommate had been going through an eviction 驱 逐 process with the court when I moved in with her and had lost the case She had been ordered to move by 10 am on that date The court order had been issued the same day I had paid her 1 2 of the rent and a deposit of 300 000 The owner was very kind and understanding but there was nothing she could do The house had been rented already and the people were to move in the following weekend The officers let me go and I went to gather my girls into the car They were both exhausted and old Also very frightened because they thought their mamma was going to jail I had to pull over because the tears took control I couldn t believe it Everything we owned was gone I had used up all our money moving in and paying my friend our share of costs I knew very few people in town as we had just moved there recently I went to sit back in the car with the girls I talked to the girls explaining our situation to them so that they wouldn t be afraid During this time there was a street person with a bag looking in the garbage for cans bottles and anything that might bring him some cash But I didn t pay much attention to him I decided to get the girls something to eat for breakfast We grabbed some bread and chips and returned for a picnic When we got there I noticed that the man was not alone He was with a small group of others like him and they were passing a hat among themselves I was busy setting up our little picnic when I heard a voice saying Mama please excuse but well I overheard the situation you are in and well I and the fellows took up a collection for you and your little girls It s not very much but maybe it ll help a little I looked up at this man dirty needing a shave and saw the face of an angel I started crying The man tried to hand me 30 I folded his hand back over the money and just hugged him as tight as I could I told him Thank you for your more than generous offer but we are going to be just fine He didn t believe me at first but I convinced him that it was okay Later that afternoon I went to the market and bought the making for a barbecue and off to that little park It didn t take us very long to find those gentlemen and invite them to join us for lunch I had a wonderful afternoon that day sitting there with those old guys singing songs They had some of the most entertaining stories and they shared the dreams they once had
