29、om you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you dont want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of

30、southern California has made a scient ific study of lying. According to him, women are be tter lies than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells ano ther woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks its terrible. However, this is only one side of

31、the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out . This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or g

32、ain in some way. Research has been done into the way peoples behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I

33、were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch. Another gesture that gi

34、ves liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touch the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture

35、can be understood as an unconscious(未察觉的 ) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying. Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situat

36、ion. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context(上下文 ) which the lie is told. 【小题 1】 According to the passage, a white lie seems to be a lie _. A that other people believe B that other people dont believe C told in order not to hurt so

37、meones feelings D told in order to take advantage of someone 【小题 2】 Research suggests that women _. A are better at telling les s serious lies than men B generally lie for more than men do C often make promises they intend to break D lie at parties more often than men do 【小题 3】 Researchers find that

38、 when a person tells lies _. A his blood pressure increases measurably B he looks very serious C he is likely to make some small changes in his behavior D he uses his unconscious mind 【小题 4】 The writer of the passage_. A hates lying B enjoys lying C often tells a lie D tries to study about lying 【小题

39、 5】 Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying A Touching ones ears B Rubbing the nose C Moving in a chair D Covering the mouth 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 A 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 D 【小题 1】 A Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to sp
