Little green men live in the center of the earth. Nearly everyone tells lies. Only the third statement is true. Or at least that is what Dr. Robert Feldman of the University of Massachuseets says. Dr. Feldman conducted an experiment in which he asked 240 students to talk to each other for minutes. He filmed the conversations and then asked the students to watch themselves to confirm if all that they had said was true.It turned out that nearly all of them had lied at least once. Many were surprised about the number of things they said that just werent true or so they claimed. It seems that we not only lie, we do it naturally and without thinking.“Its so easy to lie,” said Dr. Feldman “We teach our children to be honest, but also to be polite and avoid offending people. Kids get a mixed message and that affects how they behave as adults.”According to Dr. Wendy Gamble of the University of Arizona, kids dont need any instructions in lying. It comes naturally to them. Dr. Gamble, a psychologist, has identified four different types of lies that both children and adults tell. The “pro-social” lie is told to help or protect other people. The “self-enhancement” lie is told by someone who wants to look good to other people. The selfish lie protects the speaker by harming someone else. And worst of all, the “anti-social” lie is told for the pleasure of getting someone else into trouble.According to Dr. Feldman, men and women lie in different ways as well. “Women are more likely to lie to make the person they are with feel good. Men lie to make themselves look better,” he says. The husband tells his wife hes due for a promotion at work. “Of course you are,” she replies.“Honesty is the basis of healthy relationships,” says Dr. Gamble. “But rather than dismiss all lying as bad, we should reflect that deception is common and often socially acceptable.”Perhaps we already do. In the English language, the word liar is usually only used to described the person who tells selfish or anti-social lies. The rest are referred to as “white lies”. These are joke words which show that we can tolerate people who dont tell the truth all the time. If people did not make up stories, there would be no literature, poetry or films.Some psychologist argue that lies people tell each other help hold society together. They make us feel good about each other and ourselves and encourage tolerance and trust. Just think what the world would be like if everyone said exactly what they thought all the time.Yet there are times when people also need to hear the truth. It would be wrong to say that lying makes the world go round. Its the little green men in the center of the earth who do that.56. It is _ , according to Dr Gamble, that makes people lie.A. parents instructions B. school education C. social experiences D. human nature57. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.

The restaurants are considered among the best in Putnam County, and historical architecture dignifies the streets. If youre feeling a walk outdoors, a hike up Mount Taurus is less than a mile north.Then there is the view. Cold Spring lies on a spectacular bend in the Hudson, and Main Street dead-ends at a waterfront view straight out of a Frederic Church painting.So, what doesnt Cold Spring have? Most residents take life slow, and visitors gladly fall in step. “You know, the Indian used to say its the way the river curves around and the mist settles on the river in the morning,” a waiter at Cathryns Tuscan Grill explained one evening.Cold Spring first appeared on maps in the 18th century as a quiet river hamlet. Though local legend claims that George Washington named it after tasting water from a local spring around 1780, Donald H. MacDonald, a local historian and columnist for the Putnam County News and Recorder, insists that an official record from a 1772 meeting refers to it by its current name.The West Point Foundry was built there in 1818, and during the Civil War, it become the largest iron factory in the United States. It closed in 1911, and it wasnt until 1982, when the downtown was added to the National Register of Historic Places, that Cold Spring found its latest qualitya beautiful, walkable village with day trip.Youll find a good introduction to the town and its history at the Putnam County Historical Society and Foundry School Museuma small, clean-lined museum that reopened in July 2006 after a 14-month restoration.
