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.
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.
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.
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!”
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.
1. White lies are usually big lies.
2. People tell white lies in different ways.
3. Young people may tell white lies to hide something from their parents.
4. People sometimes tell white lies to refuse invitations politely.
5. When you taste something terrible, you may tell a white lie to make the host happy.
6. From the passage we learn that white lies are harmful to friendship.
