【题目】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(无关紧要的谎言) is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), 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.

Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.

In many cases perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults.

1Whether the person being called has pushed the “ignore” button or ______, the caller at the other end hears the same tone.

A. really has no signal B. can’t get the text

C. has a battery failure D. answers the call

2Most people think women are better liars because ______.

A. there’re more women liars B. fewer women liars are found out

C. women tell less harmful lies D. women are harder to convince

3“You look lovely” and “I’m on my way” rank _____ on the popular-lie list.

A. 3rd and 8th B. 5th and 10th C. 4th and 9th D. 5th and 12th

4The OnePoll spokesman seems to think it’s ______ for the British to lie so much.

A. puzzling B. unpleasant C. impossible D. reasonable

【题目】Last Friday6-year-old Landon Johnson went to the River Town Crossings Mall in Grandville with his family. While there, the boy and his cousins took turns chatting with Santa, sharing their Christmas desires.

After telling the man in red he wanted a Wii,a toy dinosaur and a remote control car, Landon hopped off Santa’s lap to rejoin his family.But a few moments later, he raced back to Santa’s side: he’d forgotten to tell him something important. Specifically,Landon shared his worry with Santa that his autism(自闭症)would land him on the “naughty list”.

His mom, Naomi Johnson, explained to WOOD-TV this week that Landon is often told he's “naughty” by people who mistake his autism for bad behavior.“You get the stares when you're at the grocery store if he's too loud” Johnson said. “He's been told by other people before, 'You don't need to be so naughty,'or ' Why are you naughty? '.”

Johnson says Santa took the time to listen to Landon's worriesand held the boy's hands all the while.“Santa sat him next to him and took Landon's hands in his and started rubbing them, calming them down. Santa asked Landon if it bothered him, having Autism? Landon said yes, sometimes. Then Santa told him it shouldn't. It shouldn’t bother him to be who he is” Johnson said.

Landon told Santa that he sometimes “ gets in trouble at school and it's hard for people to understand that he has autism"but that he's “not a naughty boy”.

“You know I love you and the reindeer (驯鹿) love you and it's OK. You're a good boy"Santa told WOOD-TV about the chat with Landon.'You're a good boy,you know.”

Johnson said she was incredibly moved by Santa's thoughtful words.“This stranger in a red suit told my son the same message I’ve been trying to get through to him for a while now that he's special and I love him just the way he was made"the mom told Today.com.“Seeing Landon's face light up in that moment was just incredible.I couldn't stop crying. He was the real Santa Claus.”
