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 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’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". [br] In Para. 2, the sentence "Women are better liars than men. " probably means______.
选项
A、Women are better at telling lies than men
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
答案
A
解析
这同样是一道推断题。文中第二段对女人的谎言和男人的谎言进行了对比和分析,我们得知,女人的“white lie”经常是出于善意的谎言,所以她们的“white lie”大多数情况下很随意,并不很认真;而男人的谎言则是认真的、严肃的。从这种对比我们看出,女人说谎的随意性、善意性决定了她们比男人更擅长此道。因此选项A正确。
