Studies show that you may be lied to every day anywhere from 10 to 200 times. We say, “Nice song.” “Honey, you don't look fat in that, no.” But another study showed that strangers lied three times within the first 10 minutes of meeting each other. We lie more to strangers than we lie to coworkers. Men lie eight times more about themselves than they do about other people. Women lie more to protect other people. If you're married, you're going to lie to your wife/ husband in one out of every 10 communications. If you're unmarried, that number drops to three. But look, if at some point you got lied to, it's because you agreed to get lied to. Truth about lying: lying's a cooperative act. Not all lies are harmful. Sometimes we're willing to get lied to for social dignity(尊严), maybe to keep a private secret.
Lying is complex. It exists in our daily and business lives. We're deeply disturbed by the truth. We explain it, sometimes for very good reasons, other times just because we don't understand the gaps between ideals and realities in our lives. We're against lying, but secretly we're for it in ways that our society has practiced for centuries and centuries. It's as old as breathing. It's part of our culture and history. Think the stories from Dante, Shakespeare, the Bible, News of the World.
Lying has great value to the evolution of human beings. Researchers have long known that the more intelligent the species, the more likely it is to lie. We humans like to become leaders. It starts really early. How early? Well, babies will pretend to cry, pause, wait to see who's coming and then go right back to crying. One-year-olds learn hiding truth. Five-year-olds lie outright and try to control through flattery (奉承). Nine-year-olds, masters of covering up.
So what do we do about lies? Well, there are steps we can take to guide our way through the bushes. Trained lie spotters (检测员) get to the truth 90% of the time. The rest of us, we're only 54% right. There are clever liars and stupid liars, but there're no real creative liars. While lying, we all make the same mistakes, and we all use the same techniques.

（2）Lying is complex because__________.
A.people are for it as well as against it

Recently, a high school in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province has given out 5 million RMB to award high-scoring students.

Into this extreme environment stepped Nabil Al Busaidi. In fact, he didn’t just step—he stepped and skied his way across 650km, pulling 50kg of equipment. He also carried the flag of the Sultanate of Oman, which he held in the air at the North Pole, becoming the first Arab to achieve this impressive feat (壮举).

On the way to the North Pole, Nabil was driven by the reward of success and the pain at the thought of failure. “Through the 20-whatever days , every minute there was a different thing that kept me going, either the fear of failure, the fear of dying or the reward of finishing and getting somewhere warm. ”

The ever-present cold, averaging around -40℃ but dropping as low as a recorded -81℃, is his overriding (首要的) memory of the experience. As an Omani, Nabil had an additional 20℃ drop in temperature to get used to, compared to his British teammates. Apart from the extreme cold, polar bears were a common feature of the journey, and Nabil and the team had their fair share of bear encounters. “Polar bears are dangerous, but they are not that threatening because they don’t intend to harm humans. They’re usually either curious or just don’t care. We saw five bears, and none were aggressive,” said Nabil.

One final problem Nabil faced was the stress put on team relations by the severity of the conditions, especially during the first three stages of the journey. However, during the fourth and final leg, the team worked so well together that they travelled 130km in only two and a half days.

【1】What does Paragraph 1 show?

A. Nabil’s hard-won success. B. The value of Arctic exploration.

C. Nabil’s good luck. D. The change of the Arctic.

【2】Which is the problem Nabil faced on his journey?

A. Gradually rising sea level. B. Frequent polar bear attacks.

C. Constantly changing climate. D. The heavy psychological burden.

【3】What can we know about Nabil?

A. He had gone on an Arctic journey before.

B. He explored the Arctic with pretty light packs.

C. He finished the exploration of the Arctic all alone.

D. He suffered more from extreme cold than his teammates.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Life in the Arctic.

B. Climate of the Arctic.

C. The first Arab to step into the Arctic.

D. Achievements scientists made in the Arctic.

【题目】任务型阅读
Over time, habits of negative thinking about ourselves can lower self-esteem (自尊). So if you want to feel better about yourself, try some of these things:
Are you so used to focusing on your problems that they're all you see? Next time you find yourself trapped in problems or disappointment with yourself or your day, find something positive to deal with it. Each day, write down three good things about yourself, or three things that went smoothly that day because of your action or effort.
Aim for effort rather than perfection. Some people get held back by their own pressure to be perfect. They lose out because they don't try. Usually, you may think, “I won't audition (试镜) for the play because I probably won't get the lead.”
Remind yourself that everyone is good at different things.Thinking more like this: “She's a great basketball player — but the truth is, I'm a better musician than athlete. Still, I'll keep playing because I enjoy it.” It helps you accept yourself and make the best of the situation.
Don't be afraid to voice them. If someone disagrees, it's not a judgment on your worth or your intelligence. That person just sees things differently from you.
Set goals.Then make a plan for how to do it. Stick with your plan, and keep track of your progress.
A. Focus on what goes well for you.
B. Take pride in your opinions and ideas.
C. Think about what you'd like to achieve.
D. It's certain that the role will go to someone else.
E. Recognize what you can change and what you can't.
F. Train your inner voice to remind you of what you are accomplishing.
G. Cheer on others for their success and keep in mind what you do well.

“That would be a very【4】(reason) thing to do in a big city,but it could destroy a small village like ours,”Nick said.

Nick's guests,【5】had heard their conversation,asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Nick replied,"The only reason a man would sell salt【6】a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect【7】me sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it."

"But such a small thing couldn't【8】(possible) destroy a village."

“In the beginning,there was only【9】very small amount of unfairness in the world,but everyone added a little, always【10】(think) that it was only small and not very important,and look where we have ended up today.”
