Thornhill was __38__ when he looked at the pictures, for they were really beautiful. He looked at them for a long time, and then took one step back and looked again. Now the pictures were even more beautiful. He took another step, then another. Finally he was at the very edge of the platform, but he didn't know it __39__ he was thinking of his pictures.

The worker saw everything. “What should I do?” he thought. “Thornhill was at the very edge of the platform. If I cry out, he will take __40__ step, fall off it and surely be killed. “So the worker quickly took some paint and threw it at the pictures.

Is this really a lie?

A scientific study of lying shows women are better liars __43__ 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 terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researches show that men are __44__ likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intention of fulfilling.
