Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a "white lie" , such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer, they are saying, "I wish I were somewhere else now. " They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.
Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book " Man-watching" calls "the mouth coyer". He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture can be interpreted as all unconscious attempts on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying. Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or squirming about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.
Research on lying suggests that women______.
选项
A、are more skilled at telling less serious lies than men
B、tell more lies than men
C、tend to flatter people more often then men do
D、are better at telling lies at parties than men do
答案
A
解析
推断题。根据第一段第二句:据他说, 女人比男人更擅长撒谎, 尤其是在撒“善意的谎言”方面和第四句:其他研究者则说男人更有可能撒情节比较恶劣的谎, 可以推断出在一些无伤大雅的事情方面女人比男人更擅长撒谎, 可是男人不撒谎则已, 要是撒起慌来都是些情节较为严重的谎言, 因此选A.
