"On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog," read the title of a famous Peter Steiner cartoon,【C1】______nowhere is it truer than Internet dating. The experience is by now familiar: the【C2】______mate who seemed just your【C3】______in a profile turns out to be a disappointment in person.
There may be ways, however, to【C4】______a lying person before you find yourself【C5】______from him or her at a table lit by candles. Researchers from Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison compared the【C6】______heights, weights, and ages of 78 Internet dating participants to their profiles on four dating websites. They noticed several【C7】______from people who were less than【C8】______. For example, they were less likely to【C9】______to themselves as "I"; used indirect expressions,【C10】______"not boring" instead of "exciting" to describe themselves; and stuck to【C11】______descriptions.
"People do this because they want to【C12】______themselves from their misleading statements," explained Catalina Toma, an author of the study, in a statement. Using these indications, the researchers【C13】______identified liars about 65 percent of the time.
People lied most frequently about their【C14】______, with women slimming down, on average, by 8.5 pounds, and men by 1.5 pounds. At least half the subjects【C15】______their height, and nearly 20 percent changed their age.
Despite the【C16】______of lies, volunteers proved【C17】______at catching them. Fortunately, Toma and the team’s research【C18】______up the possibility of a software that could【C19】______lies for you, though Internet dating participants should be careful what they wish for—nearly everyone in the study lied in some【C20】______way.
【C20】
选项
A、important
B、obvious
C、substantial
D、small
答案
D
解析
作者最后提醒说,网络征友者应谨慎,因为研究中几乎每个人都会说谎。A项important“重要的”、B项obvious“明显的”和C项substantial“相当的,可观的”用来形容nearly everyone,与现实情况不符。只有D项small“少的,微小的”符合。
