37、e really hard to take. You want to trust your friends and that means knowing that theyll tell it to you straight no matter what. But a friend who lies isnt always trying to hurt you. Why does this happen?Protect your feelingsOne of the biggest reasons friends lie is simply to avoid hurting your feel

38、ing.Some people dont understand the difference between being gently honest with a friend and being so straightforward that they leave a verbal wound. They choose to avoid these two extremes in the form of a lie. What you can do: Encourage your friends to be straight with you. No matter what their an

39、swer is, let them know you appreciate it. If you overreact or get angry with them, they wont feel comfortable telling you the truth again.They feel embarrassedSometimes friends will lie about things in their life because they are too embarrassed to admit the truth. Maybe they are going through a rou

40、gh time and they just dont want you to know about it.What you can do: Avoid trying to badger(纠缠)your friend into telling you whats wrong. Instead, make it clear that you are there for them when and if they are ready to talk. Make your friendship a safe place fro them where they can share their troub

41、les with you without feeling judgment.Avoid an argument with youPerhaps your friend knows that if they tell you the truth, youll get angry with them. Avoiding conflict is not always healthy for a friendship because it allows problems to grow over time. If you have a bad temper, your friend might try

42、 and avoid getting into an argument with you and instead just tell you what you want to hear.What you can do: Make sure that if a friend tells you something unpleasant, you dont overreact. Consider whats being said and why your friend is telling you this. If you do end up arguing, do it in a respect

43、able way.Exclude youLying isnt always a sign that friends are trying to protect you, however. Sometimes they lie because they want to exclude you from their plans. If they tell you they are staying home some night when you want to go out, for example, and you find out later that they partied without

44、 you, it may mean they arent as good friends as you thought they were.What you can do: When you find out with certainty that you friend was lying to you, try and confront them. Be forewarned, however, that if a friend lies to begin with, he/she may lie when asked a direct question about his/her dish

45、onesty. Go with your guts on this. If you feel your friend is lying because he/her doesnt want to be around you, thats your wake-up call to move on.66.

46、 you are advised to_ A. let it go B. take it personally C. handle it respectably D. break up with him/herBI was always that kid in school, the one whose notes were color-coded in shorthand only I could read. In college, everyone said taking notes on a laptop was superior. Recently, Princeton Univers

47、ity treated up with UCLA(University of California at Los Angeles)to test this scientifically, and the results are puzzling. Experimenters assigned college students to hear the same lecture, but either in a classroom equipped with notebooks or one with laptops. After 30 minutes of note-taking, studen

48、ts took quizzes on retestio, students took quizzes on retention(记忆力)of facts (dates statistics, etc)and concepts (comprehension, making connections).While students using laptops were likely to take more notes and copy exactly what teacher said, they were less likely to retain the information. Laptop

49、 users memorized about the same number of facts as students who handwrote, but they performed worse when tested on ideas. This held true whether students were tested immediately or given a week to study.The main benefit of typing notes: its faster. This could actually be the problem. Students who wr

50、ite their notes by hand are forced to paraphrase(释义)to keep up with professors speech. Experts say that summarizing forces students to engage with material. They think about lectures more deeply, processing and committing them to memory. But when students can copy down information as quickly as its

51、given, they passively transcribe(逐字打出来)lectures without thinking about their meanings.Perhaps because it remains so popular, many tips and technologies optimize digital note-taking. For example, apps like Evernote, FreeNote, and OneNote have been available for years. They keep notes organized and ev

52、en allow students to include pictures. Experts also suggest using a stylus, which allow for extra speed while still committing notes to memory, a compromise between digital and handwritten notes. Apps like Noteshelf easily accommodate stylus users. And apps like ePaper allow students to customize(定制)their notes appearances(Which could have made color-coding much easier for me, back in the day).This research by Princeton and UCLA does not suggest that students should never use keyboard to take notes. Rather, it warns ag
