Exercise 3. Read the following passages then answer questions. Choose the correct answer by

Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies -
well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies.” The only real questions are about when we lie and who
we tell lies to. A recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch the truth. Here are
some ways they do it.
People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn't tell his
parents that he is dating a girl because he doesn't think they will like her. In stead, he says he is going out
with the guys.
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 that you are busy and can't come.
Often we stretch 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 “Hmm, this is delicious!”
Other times we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had bad day at work,
but you don't want to talk about it. So, if someone asks about your day, you just say everything was fine.

Telling “white lies” isn't really bad. Most of the time people do it because they want to protect a
friendship.
21. Why do people often tell lies?
A. Because they like it.
B. Because they feel amused.
C. Because they don't like the person who asks them about their stories.
D. Because they want to hide something.
22. Sometimes people lie by ______.
A. giving false excuse B. telling stories
5
C. saying something quite new D. making someone feel good
23. A son doesn't want to tell his parents that he is dating a girl because he ______ so he
tells lies.
A. is ashamed B. is afraid that his parents don't like her
C. wants to keep it secret D. is very reserved
24. Your friend cooks you a terrible dinner but you say you like it because ______.
A. you want him / her to cook for you more B. you like telling lies
C. you want to encourage him / her D. you want to protect your friendship
25. Everyone sometimes tells lies because ______.
A. it is very good B. it isn't really all bad
C. it makes him / her fell happier D. it is a habit of human beings
