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’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’t want to hurt his feeling 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 is 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’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sit ting 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".
选项
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
答案
C
解析
本题考查的是对文章细节的把握。依据第一段倒数第二句…you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this."你不想因为提醒他这一点而伤害他的感情"。所以选C"为了不伤害别人的感情,说谎有时是必需的"为正确选项。而A"为了避免失败,说谎经常是必要的",B"撒谎是不对的,因为人们不应该不诚实",D"在大多数场合撒谎根本不是坏事"都不符合题意。
