Smiling girls have their luck. It fits Huang Ruijia well. The 15-year-old student comes from Chengdu Experimental Foreign Language School. On March 22, 2014,she won third place(junior category)at the 12th China Daily “21st Century Lenovo Cup” National High School English Speaking Competition, which was held in Beijing. During the competition, many contestants(选手)kept a serious face. But Huang was smiling all the time. Her good manners also won her the Best Style prize at the contest.

“Smiling shows confidence, which is an important quality for speakers,” said Meng Qingtao, associate research fellow at the National Institute of Education Sciences, and one of the judges(评委). “Huang’s smile brought judges closer to her, and also cured(消除)her stress.”

Huang only became a smiling girl two years ago. At the time she was busy preparing for a speaking competition. One day, when she was practicing in front of the mirror, she was shocked by what she saw.

“I saw a poker(扑克) face reciting(背诵)a cold speech,” said Huang. “Who would like to listen to a speaker like that?”

Since then Huang decided to face everything with a smile. It has worked in speaking competitions and in many other situations in her life, such as building friendships.

Once Huang and her friend had a fight and were mad at each other. After three days, Huang said she wanted to talk but didn’t know how to start. She then decided to give a smile, the friend smiled back and gave her a hug in return.

“This is the power of smiling,” said Huang. “You can make a difference in your life simply by smiling.”

Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.

Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year.Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day.The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie.It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.

Three quarters of people think women are better liars.The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.

The second most common fib is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by beggars and Big Issue sellers.“Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to see you”.

Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our server was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place.Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”.“I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.

In many cases perhaps it is better to delight someone with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for One Poll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.He added: ‘As a nation we just like trying to be nice and not upsetting people.Often little white lies can cover what we actually want to say.Most of these were considered completely harmless.’

C.third and tenth D.third and first

A.sentence B.expression

C.excuse D.lie
