　　More than four out of five people admit to telling little white lies at least once a day and the preferred way of “being economical with the truth” is to use technology such as cell phones, texts and e-mails, a survey last Thursday said.

　　The research by UK pollsters 72 Point found that “techno-treachery(高科技说谎)” was wide-spread with nearly 75 percent of people saying gadgets made it easier to fib(撒小谎).

　　Just over half of respondents(被调查者) said using gadgets made them feel less guilty when telling a lie than doing it face to face.

　　The workplace was a favorite location for fibbing with 67 percent of the 1,487 respondents admitting they had lied at work.

　　The top lie was pretending to be ill (43 percent) followed by saying work had been completed when it hadn’t (23 percent). Worryingly for bosses 18 percent said they lied to hide a big mistake.

　　But, employers were not the only ones on the receiving end of dishonest statements. Just over 40 percent of the respondents said they had lied to their families or partners.

　　Key topics to lie about were: buying new clothes or the cost of them (37 percent), how good someone looked in something (35 percent), how much they had eaten (35 percent) and drunk (31 percent) and how much they weighed (32 percent).

1. The underlined phrase “being economical with the truth” probably means ________.

A. telling lies           B. making apologies      C. feeling guilty     D.admitting mistakes

2. It can be inferred from the passage that ___________.

A. employers sometimes lie to their employees, too

B. 75% of people have ever lied to someone

C. without gadgets, people may feel more pressure when telling white lies

D. more people lie to their family than to their bosses

3. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A. Cell phones make people more likely to lie.

B. Some people might lie to their bosses when they are not doing their work well.

C. 40% of employers admit that they have lied to their families or partners.

D. Nearly 1,500 people were questioned in the survey.

4. According to the passage, in which of the following situations are you most likely to lie?

A. You are going to spend the night at your friend’s, which your parents won’t allow.

B. Your friend is wearing a new dress and asks you how you find it.

C. You are a little too fat, and you’re trying to tell your friend how heavy you are.

D. You want to ask your boss for a sick leave, although you are not ill.

B. gadgets are seen as the best way to tell white lies

C. most people tell white lies at the workplace

D. 18% of people lie to their bosses

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays (灰色) and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined (意志坚定的). You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference (爱好), and the effect (影响) that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
　　 A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful (开心的) and more comfortable (舒服的) than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing (压抑). Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.
　　 Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
