It seems that everybody tells lies-well, not big lies, but "white lies". Telling white lies isn"t really that bad.
Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don"t want to hurt someone. Here
are some ways they do it.
★ Giving false excuses.
Sometimes people lie because they don"t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a
party. You think it will be boring, so you say you"re busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good.
Often we don"t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but
it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Mmm, this is delicious!"
★ Lying to hide bad news.
Sometimes, we don"t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work,
but you don"t want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say
everything was fine.

| 阅读下面短文，根据所给语境，按要求完成下列各题。 | Happiness is for everyone. In fact, ①happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When
you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents
are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will congratulate
you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do
something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them,
you can find that happiness is always around you. ②Happiness is not the same as money, it"s a feeling of
your heart. When you are poor, you can also be very happy, because you have something else that can"t be
bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you
have more chances to challenge (挑战) yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad
luck. ③If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and-lucky person. | 1. 将 ① 处改为否定句形式（意义不变）。

First, discuss all you would like to do with your classmates. Choose one of the members to write down
what you"re talking about. Then, with the ideas you get, list all you want. Everyone shares the duty for the
project. You can collect information not only from books but also on the Internet. Making a survey and doing
a research are also good ways. After that, all the members put what has been found together. Try to make
the project more well-organized. In the end, you can give a report in front of your class to show the results
of your hard work. | 根据短文内容，填写下列表格。

missing piece. But because it was not complete, it could only roll (滚动) very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers and
the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it
left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a
piece that fit perfectly (完美). The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing
missing. It was so happy and began to roll. As it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see
flowers or talk to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it
stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly.
Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some
ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better. He will never know someone is loving him or
someone is giving him something he has always wanted or never had.
We couldn"t be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive, kind enough to
share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always
live a wonderful time in our lives. | | 1. The circle rolled very slowly because it ________. | | [ ] | A. spent much time talking to worms
