Most of the early houses built in America were suited to farm life, as it was not until cities became manufacturing centers that colonists could survive without farming as their major occupation. Among the earliest farmhouses in America were those built in Plymouth Colony. Generally they consisted of one large rectangular room on the ground floor, called a hall or great room and having a fireplace built into one of the walls, and a loft overhead. Sometimes a lean-to was attached alongside the house to store objects such as spinning wheels, firewood, barrels, and tubs. The furnishings in the great room were sparse and crudely built. Tabletops and chest boards were split or roughly sawed and often smoothed only on one side. Benches took the place of chairs, and the table usually had a trestle base so it could be dismantled when extra space was required. One or two beds and a six-board chest were located in one corner of the room. The fireplace was used for heat and light, and a bench often placed nearby for children and elders, in the area called the inglenook.
The original houses in Plymouth Colony were erected within a tall fence for fortification. However, by 1630 Plymouth Colony had 250 inhabitants, most living outside the enclosure. By 1640, settlements had been built some distance from the original site. Villages began to emerge throughout Massachusetts and farmhouses were less crudely built. Windows brought light into homes and the furnishings and décor were more sophisticated.
As more diversified groups of immigrants settled the country, a greater variety of farmhouses appeared, from Swedish long-style houses in the Delaware Valley to saltbox houses in Connecticut, Dutch-Flemish stone farmhouses in New York, and clapboard farmhouses in Pennsylvania. From Georgian characteristics to Greek revival elements, farmhouses of varied architectural styles and building functions populated the landscape of the new frontier.

A. Máy phát hiện nói dối phân biệt các cảm xúc khác nhau
B. Các phản ứng vật lí tiết lộ phạm tội
C. Máy phát hiện nói dối làm những người vô tội trở nên căng thẳng
D. Cách mà máy phát hiện nói dối được dùng và độ tin cậy của chúng
Dịch bài đọc:
Mặc dù các chính phủ, sở cảnh sát và doanh nghiệp đang sử dụng các "máy dò nói dối" đều muốn đảm bảo cách phát hiện sự thật, kết quả không phải lúc nào cũng chính xác. Máy phát hiện nói dối được gọi là máy dò cảm xúc, vì mục đích của chúng là để đo lường những thay đổi cơ thể mâu thuẫn với những gì người ta nói.
Máy phát hiện nói dối ghi lại sự thay đổi nhịp tim, thở, huyết áp, và hoạt động điện của da (đáp ứng da galvanic, hoặc GSR). Trong phần đầu của bài kiểm tra thử, bạn đã kết nối điện tử với máy và được hỏi một vài câu hỏi trung lập ("Bạn tên gì?", "Bạn sống ở đâu?"). Phản ứng thể chất của bạn là tiêu chuẩn (đường cơ sở) để đánh giá điều gì sẽ xảy ra tiếp theo. Sau đó bạn được hỏi một số câu hỏi quan trọng trong số những người trung lập ("Bạn đã đánh cắp ngân hàng khi nào?"). Giả định là nếu bạn có tội, cơ thể của bạn sẽ tiết lộ sự thật, ngay cả khi bạn cố gắng từ chối nó. Nhịp tim, hô hấp và GSR sẽ thay đổi đột ngột khi bạn trả lời các câu hỏi bắt buộc.
Đó là lý thuyết; nhưng các nhà tâm lý học đã phát hiện ra rằng các máy dò nói dối chỉ đơn giản là không đáng tin cậy. Vì hầu hết các thay đổi về cơ thể đều giống nhau trong tất cả các cảm xúc, máy móc không thể nói cho dù bạn cảm thấy có lỗi, tức giận, hồi hộp, kích động, hay phô trương thành một ngày thú vị. Người vô tội có thể căng thẳng và lo lắng về toàn bộ thủ tục. Họ có thể phản ứng về mặt sinh lý với một từ nhất định ("ngân hàng") không phải vì họ đã cướp nó, mà vì họ vừa bị trả về một cái séc. Trong cả hai trường hợp máy sẽ ghi lại một "nói dối". Sai lầm ngược lại cũng phổ biến. Một số chuyên gia nói dối có thể nói dối mà không bị châm chích, và những người khác học cách đánh bại máy bằng cách căng cơ hoặc suy nghĩ về một trải nghiệm thú vị trong các câu hỏi trung lập.
