How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?
Mothers who feel their children don't appreciate them can add another grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them．A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations．Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77% of the time．
Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time．DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies.
The students told an average of two lies a day．They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking．One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money．Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty．"They are everyday lies," says DePaulo．
DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to. College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time．In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies．
Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time．DePaulo thinks that unmarried lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance．
Mothers can take heart from one other finding．They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them．The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them．

"Your homework is to collect sounds and take them down," Mrs. Olson said before class was over. She handed out sheets of paper shaped like giant ears.
On his way home, Colin glared out of the school-bus window. Not fair, he thought. How could he collect enough sounds on his family's farm? If only he lived in the town.
He got off the bus when it stopped at his mailbox. But he wasn't in the mood to wave as it drove away.
"I’m home！”Colin called when he pushed open the gate. He threw his schoolbag down on a kitchen chair.
"How was school?" His mother asked, walking in with his baby brother on her shoulder.
"I’ve got homework," Colin complained.
"Eat something before doing your chores." His mother gave him the animal biscuits. Colin ate two tigers, three lions, and a seal, then drank some milk.
Astrid, Colin's dog, woofed as Colin walked toward the barn（谷仓）．Her young dogs were yipping. Colin placed dog food into their pan. In the chicken house, Colin hurried two hens from their nests．He put their warm eggs into his jacket. The black cow napped in the sun. Colin woke her when he poured corn into her pan. "Moo, thank you！”she seemed to say.
Colin put the eggs in the kitchen, then climbed to his tree house as usual. He could see Dad's beehives（蜂箱） by the field. Six hives usually meant plenty of humming noise. But today he couldn't hear it over the chattering sound of the sparrows，How could a person think?
"QUIET！”Colin shouted.
Suddenly, he sat up straight. Cows mooed and young dogs yipped. Chickens crackled in their yard. When Astrid began woofing below, Colin smiled broadly. "I hear you！”he called. He hurried down from the tree.
1.Why did Colin wish he lived in the town?
A. Because living on the farm was boring.
B. Because people were treated fairly there.
C. Because the town was near his school.
D. Because collecting sounds would be easier.
2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A. Doing his homework.
B. Helping with farm work.
C. Playing with animals.
D. Babysitting his brother.
3.How many animal sounds are mentioned in the text?
A. 4.B．5．C. 6.D. 7.
4.What will Colin most probably do next?

Overcoming stage fright

When you speak, you should look your audience straight in the eye. The idea is to give the impression that you are talking to each individual in your audience.

This will give the audience the idea that you are not interested in your topic or in them.
4.
Enthusiasm is being lively and showing your own personal concern for your subject and your audience. If you are truly interested in your topic, your delivery is certain to be enthusiastic and lively.
Varying speaking rate
Your words should not be too fast or too slow. If you speak too slowly you will bore your audience. If you speak too rapidly you will be difficult to understand. Adapt your rate to the content of your speech. For example, if you are explaining complex information, slow down. 5.

A controversial call was given towards the end of the baseball game. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home（本垒） and, thinking he had just ________ a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re ________!”Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ________ why the call was wrong.
