BIt happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack ObamasDreams From My Fatherand 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 havent.In the World Book Days“Report on Guilty Secrets”,Dreams From My Fatheris at number 9.The report lists ten books,and various authors,which people have lied about reading,and as Im not one to lie too often(Id hate to be caught out),Ill admit here and now that I havent 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 Orwells1984.I think its 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 havent read him,but havent 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 (Ill 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 mentioning a famous name.D.

Favorable.B. Uncaring.C. Doubtful.D. Friendly.短文改错：It is Mothers Day today. Though its a western festival, its popular in China now.Mom has a full-time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks.
