What is exactly a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something

more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you, you say: I wish I could help you but I&39;m 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 don&39;t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?

A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie" such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. 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 gain in some way.

Research has also been done into the way people&39;s behavior. changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the same time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying I wish I were somewhere else now.

This passage tells us that _____.

A.telling lies is often necessary in order to avoid being defeated

B.telling lies is often bad because people ought not to be dishonest

C.telling lies is sometimes necessary in order not to hurt someone else’s feelings

D.telling lies is not bad at all in most cases

B.women liars are better accepted than men

C.women have a better intention when telling lies

D.women tell fewer lies than men do

A "white lie" means _____.A.a lie that is completely unbelievable

B.a lie that is told with a good will

C.a lie that is always believable

D.a lie that often has an evil purpose

Politicians and businessmen are supposed to be skilled at telling the kind of lies _____.A.from which they may gain some advantages

B.that seems to be believable

C.that women are most likely to believe

D.with which they can have better relationship with others

It can be concluded from the passage that _____.A.there is a simple way of finding out if someone is lying

B.from some ways people behave we can know they are lying

C.certain emotions are proof of lying

D.in some situations women are most likely to think businessmen are dishonest

听力原文:M: Hi, Linda.W: Hi, James. What are you doing in the mall? I thought you said you

听力原文:M: Hi, Linda.

W: Hi, James. What are you doing in the mall? I thought you said you avoid these places.

M: Oh, I still do, but it's my roommate's birthday tomorrow and I am looking around to get him a present. He's not exactly the easiest person to find a present for.

W: Have you had any ideas of what to get?

M: Not really. I want to get him something he will be able to use instead of something he'lI just put into the closet.

W: That's true. I know often I get something from somebody I hardly ever use. And they stay in the closet or garage before they get thrown away.

M: I know. That's the problem. That's why I hate buying gifts for people because it can never be perfect.

W: Perhaps you are trying too hard to get something very impressive or decorative. I always think a gift should be practical.

M: Oh, I know. His bag is almost wrecked. Maybe I should get him a new one instead.

W: It sounds like a good gift.

M: Gosh, now I am wondering which color I should pick. He is really picky about the color.

W: That's not difficult. What was the last color he chose? He obviously chose it for a reason.

听力原文:M: Oh, hello, Li Ping. Come on in, and how've you been keeping recently?

W: Quite all right, thanks, Dr. Francis. How's your project going?

M: Very smoothly, 1 should say. I'm playing a consultancy role, really. I've only been here a month, but I'm already on very good terms with my colleagues in the Department of Computer Science. Well, I'm happy that you could come. Please sit down.

W: Dr. Francis, do you know I've got a chance to go to Cambridge in August? I wonder if you could tell me something about Britain.

M: Certainly. Well, I was actually brought up in Scotland. Er, in fact, I've never been to Cambridge. But well... yes, I'm sure I can give you some useful tips. Now, what do you want to know, Li Ping?

W: Things like weather. What's the usual temperature there?

M: Mmm, the temperature in Scotland is 22 , or 23 degrees Centigrade, on average , I think. But Cambridge would be warmer, around 25, I would guess, because it's down south.

W: Oh, that's nice. Do you know it is 34 here? Last year it reached 39. By the way, where do you think I should stay?

M: Oh, that's important. You can, er... I suppose, stay in the college-owned flats, which are often near where you have your classes, and some are even on the campus. That would certainly be convenient.

W: Yes, it would.

M: But it can also be a disadvantage because you are, in a sense, separated from ordinary society. You're a language teacher, and I think learning from society is a valuable experience.

W: Yes, yes, exactly, so what's the alternative?

M: Maybe finding an English host family. I know of a student Ali from the Middle East. He told me that he had learnt a lot by staying with a British family.

W: Thank you. I think it's quite a good suggestion. By the way, Dr. Francisco you think I could... [fade out]
