It seems that everybody tells lies（谎言）— well, not big lies, but what we call ―white lies‖. Telling white lies isn’t that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect a friendship. Some studies show that the average person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. A recent study found that people often say something

different from the facts. Here are some ways they do it.

Lying to hide something:

People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn’t tell his parents

that he’s dating (约会) a girl because he doesn’t think they will like her. So he says he’s going out with the boys.

Giving false excuses:

Sometimes people lie because they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You

think it will be boring, so you say you’re busy.

Lying to make someone feel good:

Often we say something different from the facts to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks

dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, ―Mmm, this is delicious!‖

Lying to hide bad news:

Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad day at work, but you don’t feel like talking about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say all was fine.

find, and then moved on. Then about 10,000 years ago, or for 1% of human history, people learned to farm the land.
