Around twenty years ago I was living in York. Though I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find work.

I was a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had five interviews with a company and one day, between bus runs they called to say I did not get the job. “Why has my life become so ?” I thought painfully.

As I pulled the bus over to a little girl, she handed me an earring(耳环)saying that I should keep it somebody claimed (认领) it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.

At first I got angry. Then it me--I had been giving all of my to what was going wrong with my experiences rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for me from a lady who was a director at a large . She asked me if I would give a one-day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.

My day there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of that I completely changed my life.

It happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly (精彩地)written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in–depth!

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

1.How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A. By judging his manner of speaking.

B. By looking into his background.

C. By discussing the book itself.

D. By mentioning a famous name.

2.Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.

B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C. The author admitted having read 9 books.

D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

3.By lying about reading, a person hopes to .

A. control the conversation B. make more friends

C. learn about the book D. appear knowledgeable

4.What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?

A. Favorable. B. Uncaring

C. Friendly D. Doubtful
