Question

 1.  Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie. A recent study showed that 91% of all people lie on a regular basis, and people tell at least 13 major lies a week.

Dr. Robert G. Newby, a professor of sociology, believes that men are more likely to tell lies than women. “Men are more concerned about how they present themselves in public, the impression they make on people and things like that,” he says. “Men are always trying to impress people in the work and want to make sure that their presentation of self is one that makes them look good.   2.    .”

Women, on the other hand, Dr. Newby believes, are more private people and their relationship tends to be more interpersonal, as opposed to having to put on a public face. Women are more vulnerable and they are not as likely to try to pull the wool over someone’s eyes like men.

Psychotherapist Vesta Callender also agrees that men and women do lie differently. “  3.  . They plan better,” Callender notes. “They create a history around the lie, and they try to project into the future what might happen if the lie is detected. With a woman, a lie has a beginning, a middle and an end.” Callender believes that men tend to lie for the moment or to get out of a situation.  4.  .

Dr. Elmore stresses that while it is true that most people lie from time to time, one should be truthful.

“  5.   .Everything that is true does not need to be said, but everything saids needs to be true.” he says.

A. Be truthful at any cost.

B. Men also lie to each other.

C. Everyone lies from time to time.

D. Women are much more careful in their lies.

E. Men think less about how the lie can be detected.

G. Men are more likely to step outside of their relationships than women.

【解析】

试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项关于人们撒谎的心理和男女差异的研究报告。

1.根据“Men lie; women lie. Husbands lie, friends lie, wives lie, and believe it or not, your mother might lie.”推断出前面这句话是“每个人有时候都会撒谎。”故选C。

2.该选项与下一段（即第三段）首句在句义上是相反关系。G

3.该选项与后文第3.4.5.句是概括与具体的关系。根据后面说女人撒谎有开头，中间和结尾，而男人只为解决暂时的困境，可知女人在她们的谎言中更小心。故选D

4.该选项和本段前文形成对比关系，且与前文存在词语重复。根据本段前半部分说女人撒谎更细心对比出男人更少关心他的谎言如何不被识破。故本题选E。

5.该选项和本段文意相符，且与前后句共有核心词汇true.可知本句话是最后总结，说明人们无论何时都要真诚。故选A。
