liar，列举了大家谎称读了实际未读的书目，以及大家喜欢的一些作家，并阐述了人们撒谎的常见理由。64d细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知，作者跟他的朋友深谈有关奥巴马的那本书时，发现朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知，这暗示出朋友其实并没有读过这本书。故选d。65b推理判断题。本题的关键词是guilty secret，定位第二、三段。根据文章第二段中的“but i am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, i have read the book at number one, george orwells 1984.”可知，作者读过1984这本书，而42%的人没读过却装作读过。故选b。66b细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.”可知，人们之所以选择撒谎是想让对方觉得自己知识渊博，从而给对方留一个好的印象。因此b正确。67c推理判断题。文章第五段的最后一句话表明作者的态度，故选c。c52013安徽卷 cwhen 19yearold sophia giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to
