I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.
According to a recent survey people usually use this little white lie after they hit the "ignore"
button when their mobile rang. The second most common fib is "I haven"t got any cash on me"
when asked for money by beggars. Modern technology is a major excuse in many of our lies with
"I didn"t get your text" in 18th, "Our server was down" in 20th and "My battery died" in 26th place.
Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every
year. One in three Britons have lied about their weight, a quarter have fibbed about the amount of
debt they are in and 30 percent have bent the truth about the amount of exercise they do.
Almost a quarter of men have told their wife or girlfriend they look good in an outfit, despite
thinking the opposite. More than 40 percent of women have admitted lying about how much new
clothes actually cost while 30 percent have fibbed about how much they"ve had to drink.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The research found 46 per cent of girls
have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men. Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every
day compared to women who lie just three times.
A spokesman for one poll, which carried out the research of 4,300 adults, said, "As a nation we
are obsessed with trying to be nice and not upsetting people. Often little white lies are used to cover
what we actually want to say."
"Most of these were considered either completely harmless or necessary depending on the
situationin which they are delivered." He added, "It was sad to see a string of compliments in the top 50, but
once again in many cases perhaps it is better to compliment(恭维) with a lie than destroy someone
with the truth."
B. British people like to lie
C. The reasons British people lie
D. Technology makes us lie
B. The amount of their debt.
C. Their drinking habits.
D. The cost of their clothing.

changed for the better-or for the worse?
If you"ve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight"s holiday, small changes have probably surprised
you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in
your street moving house.
So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living
abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed-or now take for
granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.
Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white, middle-class families-all very
conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who
come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.
Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I
lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I"d think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have
improved this country because they"re more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.
Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the
differences between the place we"d left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into
focus as soon as we landed.
To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening-in Cyprus, they"re very
relaxed-and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with some
metal-made buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airport
car-hire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by
bank robbers.
But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what
they"ve got.
B. expect small changes
C. welcome small changes
D. exaggerate small changes
B. Positively.
C. Sceptically.
D. Critically.
B. the messy arrivals hall
C. the tight security
D. the bank robbers
B. Back in Britain.
C. Britain in Future.
D. Britain in Memory.
It goes like this: You can"t take any means of transportation more than once. We would start from
home, walking two blocks to the rail station. We"d take the train into the city center, then a bus, switching
to the tram, then maybe a taxi. We always considered taking a horse carriage in the historic district, but
we didn"t like the way the horses were treated, so we never did. At the end of the day, we took the
subway to our closest station, where Mom"s friend was waiting to give us a ride home-our first car ride of
the day.
The good thing about Transportation Days is not only that Mom taught us how to get around. She
was born to be multimodal (多方式的). She understood that depending on cars only was a failure of
imagination and, above all, a failure of confidence-the product of a childhood not spent exploring subway
tunnels.
Once you learn the route map and step with certainty over the gap between the train and the platform,
nothing is frightening anymore. New cities are just light-rail lines to be explored. And your personal car, if
you have one, becomes just one more tool in the toolbox-and often an inadequate one, limiting both your mobility and your wallet.
On Transportation Days, we might stop for lunch on Chestnut Street or buy a new book or toy, but
the transportation was the point. First, it was exciting enough to watch the world speed by from the train
window. As I got older, my mom helped me unlock the mysteries that would otherwise have paralyzed
my first attempts to do it myself: How do I know where to get off? How do I know how much it costs?
How do I know when I need tickets, and where to get them? What track, what line, which direction,
where"s the stop, and will I get wet when we go under the river?
I"m writing this right now on an airplane, a means we didn"t try on our Transportation Days and, we
now know, the dirtiest and most polluting of them all. My flight routed me through Philadelphia. My
multimodal mom met me for dinner in the airport. She took a train to meet me.
B. Taking the train twice.
C. Buying more than one toy.
D. Touring the historic district.
B. Reducing her use of private cars.
C. Developing her sense of direction.
D. Giving her knowledge about vehicles.
B. justified
C. ignored
D. ruined
B. Subway.
C. Tram.
D. Car.
revolution in higher education. A 140-year-old letter written by a lady calling for her to be allowed to
study medicine at St Andrews University has been discovered by researchers. Written by Sophia
Jex-Blake in 1873, the seven-page document, which urged the university to allow women to study
medicine at the institution, was released yesterday on International Women"s Day.
The document was discovered buried in the university archives (档案) by part-time history student
Lis Smith, who is completing her PhD at St Andrews Institute of Scottish Historical Research. She said: "We knew that Sophia Jex-Blake and her supporters, in their effort to open up university medical
education for women, had written to the Senatus Academicus (校评议委员会) at St Andrews in an
attempt to gain permission to attend classes there, but we didn"t know documentary evidence existed.
While searching the archives for information about the university"s higher certificate for women, I was
astonished to come across what must be the very letter Jex-Blake wrote."
In the letter, Sophia and her supporters offered to hire teachers or build suitable buildings for a
medical school and to arrange for lectures to be delivered in the subjects not already covered at St
Andrews. Although her letter was not successful, it eventually led to the establishment of the Ladies
Literate in Arts at St Andrews, a distance-learning degree for women. The qualification, which ran from
1877 until the 1930s, gave women access to university education in the days before they were admitted
as students. It was so popular that it survived long after women were admitted as full students to St
Andrews in 1892.
Ms Jex-Blake went on to help establish the London School of Medicine for Women in 1874. She
was accepted by the University of Berne, where she was awarded a medical degree in January 1877.
Eventually, she moved back to Edinburgh and opened her own practice.
B. to set up a medical institute there
C. to study medicine there
D. to deliver lectures there
B. in the school office
C. with her supporters" help
D. while reading history books
B. a degree programme for women
C. a system of medical education
D. the University of Berne
B. In 1874.
C. In 1877.
D. In 1892.
grows up in a different family. The firstborn is, for a while, an only child, and therefore has a completely
different experience of the parents than those born later. The next child is, for a while, the youngest, until
the situation is changed by a new arrival. The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up
too. One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years; another might be raised in a
family crisis, with a disappointed mother or an angry father.
Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others" lives.
Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The
reason for this might be that the later children aren"t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But
that doesn"t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don"t
enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between "I"
and "me".
A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that
helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.
One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are
typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their
differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper
studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their
parents.
B. in a different family tradition
C. in different family crises
D. in different families
B. learn a lot from their elder siblings
C. experience a lot of difficulties
D. pick up words more quickly
B. Siblings in some families fought frequently.
C. Sibling fights led to bad sibling relationships.
D. Siblings learned to get on together from fights.
B. having qualities of women
C. having defensive qualities
D. having extraordinary qualities
