阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  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.

It is Saturday afternoon. You and your friends are planning to go to the movies and then spend the night together. Just as you start to get ready, your dad reminds you that it is your aunt's birthday and the whole family is going out to dinner to celebrate. How can this possibly end without a huge argument?

  One of the greatest sources of tension (紧张情绪) between teenagers and their families is the struggle to balance personal desires with family expectations. As you are getting older, you are becoming more independent and more interested in being with your friends.

  However,at the same time,your family is trying to figure out how to deal with these changes. While you once spent most of your free time with your family, you are now often absent from home. Parents may get their feelings hurt. Or they might feel that they are losing control of their family during this period. You might feel angry that so many family demands are placed on you.

  There are a few things you can try to make it a little easier to ease (缓解) the tension.

  * Make your plans in advance. Ask your parents if there is anything else planned at that time.

  * When something with your friends interferes (冲突) with a family event,try to figure out if there is any way you can do both.

  * Suggest something you would really like to do with your family. Sometimes parents feel better just knowing their teenager wants to spend time with them.

  Some of the time you won’t be happy with the outcome (结果). You might either have to disappoint your parents or have to miss out being with your friends. However, if you show consideration for the feelings of both your family and your friends,you can solve the problem in a tender way.

The purpose of the first paragraph is to _________.

  A. show a disagreement of views       B. serve as a description of teenager trouble

  C. serve as an introduction to the discussion

  D. show the popularity of teenager problem

The tension between teenagers and their families is caused by the fact that____________.

  A. teenagers don’t like to take family demands

  B. parents want to keep their family under control

  C. parents feel unhappy that their children make so many friends

  D. both parents and teenagers don’t pay attention to each other’s feeling much

What’s the purpose of the passage?

  A. To inform us of parent and teenager tension.

B. To advise teenagers how to deal with their tension with their families.

  C. To persuade parents to show consideration for teenagers.

D. To tell us about a common teenager problem.
