What exactly is 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 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 don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying。

According to him, women are better lies 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’s terrible。

However, this is only one side of 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 gain in some way.
Research has been done into the way people’s 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 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 gives 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 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 situation。

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。

66。

According to the passage,a white lie seems to be a lie ______。

A。

that other people believe
学必求其心得,业必贵于专精
B。

that other people don’t believe
C。

told in order not to hurt someone’s feelings
D。

told in order to take advantage of someone
67。

Research suggests that women _____.
A. are better at telling less 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 68.Researchers find that 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
69。

The writer of the passage______.
A. hates lying
B. enjoys lying
C. often tells a lie
D. tries to study about lying
70。

Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a sign of lying ?
A. Touching one's ears
B. Rubbing the nose
C. Moving in a chair D。

Covering the mouth
(D)
Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a foreigner。

They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(结构), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy。

They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes。

It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence (自信).
Why should you be afraid?Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking?Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more。

六.任务型阅读(10分)
Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure,teachers, parents or others often say to us or perhaps we say to ourselves, “Never give up。

” These can be encouraging words and words of determination。

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have。

Therefore,I believe that we should never give up。

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything。

It is not unusual
学必求其心得,业必贵于专精
for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel disappointed and should try again。

Besides,if we always give up when we fail,we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned is wasted。

Finally,we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence,and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals。

Whether we succeed in the end or not,we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident。

Furthermore,if we give up, we have no chance of attaining our goals any more,but if we keep making great efforts,there is always a chance that we will succeed one day。

Studying Abroad
In recent years, studying abroad has been popular with Chinese high school students。

Tens of thousands of them have gone to foreign countries to study. Many more are trying their
best to go abroad。

As for this,different people have different opinions。

There are many advantages in studying abroad. First,students who study abroad can make friends with people of different cultures. Second, they can learn much more advanced knowledge of science and technology from foreign countries. Still,they can improve their foreign languages more quickly。

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages。

Most of the students are too young to live by themselves without any living experience。

Moreover,being far away from their motherland, they may eel lonely and homesick./ miss their families. And further, the high cost is also a problem for common families .
In my opinion,it is advisable to take as many things into consideration 。

They can ask teachers or students who have studied abroad for advice and they should try to get everything ready before attending school abroad.。
