the passage is most probably taken from .a. an advertisement b. a news report c. a book review d. a personal diarybfor good health, be sure to eat fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly and lie as seldom as possible. a researcher is hoping this advice will someday take hold, based on results of a science of honesty study she completed. half of 110 participants were told to stop telling major or minor (white) lies for 10 weeks, while the other half (the control group) was given no special instructions about lying. the 110 people ranged from ages 18 to 71 and came from both sexes and all income levels. all came to a laboratory each week to complete health and relationship questionnaires and to take a test showing the number of major and minor lies they had told that week.when those in the no-lie group told three fewer white lies than in other weeks, they complained less of headaches, tenseness, anxiety and other problems than those in the control group. in addition, they reported that their close personal relationships had improved and their social interactions(交往) had gone more smoothly.“the link was that clear, said study author anita kelly, a professor of psychology at the university of notre dame, indiana. lying less was clearly associated with better health for those people.previous research indicates that americans average 11 lies per week, from the little white lies to save face or falsely praise others to major lies about serious matters. kelly said her study differs from former studies because it didnt focus on how to detect a liar, but on the potential health consequences of telling lies. “people might recognize the more harmful effect lying can have on relationships, but probably dont recognize the extent to which it can cause a lot of stress, said dr. bryan bruno at lenox hill hospital in new york city.at the end of the study, some participants had created smart ways to avoid lying. kelly noted that some realized they could simply tell the truth about their daily achievements rather than exaggerate(夸张), while others responded to a troubling question with another question to take the persons attention away. they also stopped making false excuses for running late or failing to finish tasks.“people usually think white lies are acceptable. in fact, white lies are trouble, not just major lies, kelly said. as long as you like, you can find effective ways to avoid lying in many cases. it depends on you.”“but the goal doesnt have to be the absolute absence of lies the goal would be a reduction in lies,” she added.61. according to the author, doing the following things is good for health except . a. eating fruits and vegetables b. exercising regularly c. lying as seldom as possible d. watching tv62. the “science of honesty” study by anita kelly focused on .a. the effect lifestyles have on health. b. the link between lying and health.c. how to improve relationships d. how to discover a liar.63. which of the following is true about the research?a. all the participants were adults. b. the control group was asked to stop lying.c. the participants had ten physical examinations.d. all the participants were of the same income level.64. the finding of the research is that .a. white lies help to improve relationships. b. few people realize lying harms their health.c. americans tell 11 lies per week on average.d. lying less results in better health mentally and physically.65. what is kellys opinion about lying?a. it is easy to stop lying. b. sometimes it is necessary to tell white lies.c. people should try to lie less. d. major lies are more harmful than white lies.c with all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps(处于沮丧中),as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. how would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? i am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if i dont know the person im joking around with. my grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. this not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.i know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. they dont get the joke that makes others lau
