Although 'lie detectors' are widely used by governments, police departments and businesses, the results are not always accurate. Lie detectors are commonly【C1】______as emotion detectors, for their aim is to【C2】______bodily changes that contradict what a【C3】______says.

Your physical reactions serve【C8】______the standard for evaluating what comes【C9】______Then you are presented with a few【C10】______questions among the neutral ones( 'When did you rob the bank?' ). The idea is that if you are【C11】______, your body will reveal the truth, even if you try to【C12】______it. Your heart rate and breathing will change【C13】______as you respond to the questions.

They may react physiologically to a certain word( 'bank' )not because they robbed it, but because they recently used a bad check. In either【C19】______, the machine will record a 'lie'. On the other hand, some practiced liars can lie【C20】______hesitation, so the reverse mistake is also common. 【C1】
