Why Would They Falsely Confess?
Why on earth would an innocent person falsely confess to committing a crime? To most people,it just doesn't seem logical.But it is logical,say experts,if you understand what can happen in a police interrogation(审讯)room.
Under the right conditions,people's minds are susceptible(易受影响的)to influence,and the pressure put on suspects during police grillings(盘问)is enormous._______ (1)'The pressure is important to understand,because otherwise it's impossible to understand why someone would say he did something he didn't do.The answer is:to put an end to an uncomfortable situation that will continue until he does confess.'
Developmental psychologist Allison Redlich recently conducted a laboratory study to determine how likely people are to confess to things they didn't do._______ (2)The researchers then intentionally crashed the computers and accused the participants of hitting the'alt'key to see if they would sign a statement falsely taking responsibility.
Redlich'S findings clearly demonstrate how easy it can be to get people to falsely confess:59 percent of the young adults in the experiment immediately confessed._______ (3)Of the 15-to16-year—olds,72 percent signed confessions,as did 78 percent of the l 2-to 13-year-olds.
'There's no question that young people are more at risk,'says Saul Kassin,a psychology professor at Williams College who has done similar studies with similar
results._______ (4)
Both Kassin and Redlich note that the entire'interrogation'in their experiments consisted of a simple accusation--not hours of aggressive questioning--and still。Most participants falsely confessed.
Because of the stress of a police interrogation,they conclude,suspects can become convinced that falsely confessing is the easiest way out of a bad situation._______ (5)
A.In her experiment。participants were seated at computers and told not to hit the 'alt'key, because doing so would crash the systems.
B.'In some ways,'says Kassin。'false confession becomes a rational decision.'
C.'It's a little like somebody's working on them with a dental(牙齿的)drill,'says Franklin Zimring,a law professor at the University of California at Berkeley.
D.'But adults are highly vulnerable too.'
E.How could an innocent person admit to doing something he didn't do?
F.Redlich also found that the younger the participant,the more likely a false confession.

Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects? Dinosaurs(恐龙)¨from the distant past! Space battles from the distant future! There has been a revolution in special effects,and it has transformed the movies we see.The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas’s Star Wars,a film that stunned(使震惊)audiences。That revolution continues to the present,with dramatic changes in special-effects technology.The company behind these changes is Lucas’s Industrial Light & Magic (ILM). And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.Muren's interest in special effects began very early. At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships. At 10, he had an 8, millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion. (Stop, motion is a process in which objects are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on. When the shots are put together, the objects appear to move.)Talk to Muren and you'll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges. By 1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.He saw computer graphics (图像) (CG) technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined into a single image. CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before. The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel (续集), The Lost World, the stars of which ware~ computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true. 第 16 题 The special-effects revolution began in the mid-1980s with Star Wars.( )A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned
