people admitting using Sorry I had no signal when returning a missed mobile phone call a survey found According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after they hit the ignore button when their mobile rang The second most common fib is I haven t got any cash on me when asked for money by beggars Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with I didn t get your text in 18th Our server was down in 20th and My battery died in 26th place Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year One in three Britons have

how much they ve had to drink Three quarters of people think women are better liars The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying compared to 58 of men Men tell the most fibs coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times A spokesman for one poll which carried out the research of 4 300 adults said As a nation we are obsessed with trying to be nice and not upsetting people Often little white lies are used to cover what we actually want to say Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the situation in which

Many adults believe that somehow boys need friends less than girls do in truth though no boy is an island boys value their friends throughout childhood and adolescence and are happier and healthier when they have solid relationships with peers Despite the common belief that girls are better at relationships most boys consider their friends a very important part of their lives and boys may actually be better at keeping friendships than girls are A recent study of 10 to 15 year old boys and girls found that girls friendships are actually more fragile 脆弱的 Girls tend to say and do hurtful things to each other more frequently than boys and girls are more hurt by the end of a friendship Boys are the living definition of the phrase peer group they love games with rules competition and doing things together Boys seem to enjoy even need the opportunity to test themselves against others and many lasting friendships begin in karate 空手道 class or on the basketball court Competence and skill are widely respected being picked last for a team or left out altogether is an experience that can haunt 萦绕心头 a boy for years As boys mature the friendship becomes even more important and it

car today And suppose as it happens that a stranger in your area does need a car Would you be willing to rent yours out Several car sharing start ups including Getaround RelayRides and JustShareIt are eager to connect car owners with renters this way The companies have different rules but participating owners receive generally speaking about two thirds of the rental earnings RelayRides says an owner of a midsize late model sedan who rents out a car for 10 hours a week could expect to clear about 3 000 a year Peer to peer car sharing remains in the trial stage it can be found in San

renters which are supposed to put owners minds at ease But only two states California and Oregon have passed laws to clarify that an owner will not suffer any consequences should a car sharing renter have an accident In all the other states legal ambiguity remains Shelby Clark says If a renter should be involved in a serious accident in those states the victim can be expected to go after every party possible including the car s owner Also to remove the worries of car owners the driving records of renters are checked for recent serious violations 36 What does the underlined word sedan in
