    "On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog," read the title of a famous Peter Steiner cartoon, and nowhere is it truer than Internet dating. The experience is by now familiar: the【C1】________  mate who seemed just your type in a profile turns out to be a disappointment in person.
    There may be ways, however, to spot a lying person before you find yourself【C2】________ from him or her at a table lit by candles. Researchers from Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison compared the【C3】________ heights, weights, and ages of 78 Internet dating participants to their profiles on four dating websites. They noticed several patterns from people who were less than【C4】________. For example, they were less likely to refer to themselves as "I"; used indirect expressions, like "not boring" instead of "exciting" to describe themselves; and stuck to 【C5】________ descriptions.
    "People do this because they want to distance themselves from their misleading statements," explained Catalina Toma, an author of the study, in a statement. Using these indications, the researchers【C6】________ identified liars about 65 percent of the time.
    People lied most frequently about their weight, with women slimming down, on average, by 8.5 pounds, and men by 1.5 pounds. At least half the subjects【C7】________ their height, and nearly 20 percent changed their age.
    Despite the frequency of lies, volunteers proved【C8】________ at catching them. Fortunately, Toma and the team’s research opens up the possibility of a software that could【C9】________ lies for you, though Internet dating participants should be careful what they wish for—nearly everyone in the study lied in some【C10】________ way.

选项
答案 B
解析 此处应填入形容词，修饰descriptions。根据常识推断，说谎的人不会用precise“准确的”语言描述自己，而short“简短的”为最佳答案。因为用语越简短越不容易暴露。
