Question

20．Britain's most popular lie has been discovered，with one in four 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 lied about their weight，a quarter have fibbed about the amount of debt they are in and 30 percent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do．
Almost a quarter of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit，despite thinking the opposite．More than 40 percent of women have admitted lying about how much new clothes actually cost while 30 percent have fibbed about 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 they are delivered．"He added，"It was sad to see a string of compliments in the top 50，but once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment（恭维） with a lie than destroy someone with the truth．"
