谎言的实质在夏洛特斯维尔的弗吉尼亚大里，心理学教授贝拉·德帕罗组织了一次由77名学生和70名市民志愿参加的特别活动。
所有参加者要记一周的日记，记录下自己撒谎的次数和细节。
1名学生和6名夏洛特斯维尔的居民自称没有撒过谎。
另外140名参加者共汁撒谎1535次。
大部分谎言我们大多数人常常不认为是什么惊天动地的。
有人对配偶或是对朋友表现出虚情假意，或对某位亲属的观点佯装赞同。
依德帕罗之见，女土们在相互交往中主要是为不伤对方面子而撒谎，男士们一般则是为了抬高自我而说谎。
令人极为惊奇的是，这1000多条谎盲的制造者们声称，他们对自己的欺骗行为“不大在乎或不觉愧疚”。
难道这也是在撒谎?或许是吧。
不过，确有证据表明，人们对随便使用谎言的这种态度是很常见的。
例如，加州马里纳-戴尔雷的一个致力于人格教育的非营利性组织——约瑟夫森伦理道德研究所对两万名中学生进行过调查。
92％的青少年承认一年中对父母撒过谎，73％把自己视为“连续撒谎的人”，也就是说他们每星期都撒谎。
尽管如此，受测人中“对自己的道德和人品表示满意”的却占到了91％。
想想我们是多么经常地听到这些话：“我会打电话给你”、“支票马上汇来”、“对不起，他出去了”。
还有那些以律师、专家和公关顾问为职的人们，他们的专职似乎就是编造事实以满足客户的需要。
无关紧要的小谎言无处不在，而我们撒谎的理由也大同小异。
看看这个例子，是关于南加州的一个公司经理的，我就叫他汤姆吧。
他每年感恩节都要携妻带子回岳母家吃饭。
汤姆十分不喜欢岳母做的“风味独特”的南瓜馅饼，但为了不伤她面子，他总是对她说那是多么好吃。
“这有什么不好？”汤姆问约瑟夫森研究所的所长迈克尔·约瑟夫森。
可能我们每个人都会问这样的问题。
约瑟夫森要汤姆站在岳母的立场上考虑一下他的谎言。
假设有一天，汤姆的孩子一不小心说漏了嘴，使她了解了实情。
她会对女婿说“谢谢你考虑这么周到”吗?还是更有可能感到受了伤害并说“你怎么能骗我这么多年?你还对我撒了哪些谎?”汤姆的岳母现在对她自己的女儿又会有什么看法呢?汤姆的儿子会不会也对自己的父母撒谎同时还对自己的品行沾沾自喜呢?我们恭维他人如何漂亮，对收到的礼物表示感激，其实心里并不这么想，这种情况多么司空见惯?毫无疑问，这些“美丽的谎言”于他人无害且初衷良好，是社交中不可缺少的润滑剂。

这就像参加晚会时, 盯着那些似曾相识的脸孔, 可怎么也想不起名字一样。
2.. He looked conf used, a reminder that clever’s not clever if it doesn’t communicate.He looked confused, and his puzzled look reminded me that my answer was not clever at all because it couldn’t be understood.他一脸的迷惑，这是在提醒我，如果不能使对方明白，这词儿就不能算用得聪明。
3.Just not right now, now when it mattered, now when the fate ofa curious, intelligent immigrant hung on the answers he assumed would fall from a native speaker’s tongue as naturally as leaves from an October tree.I couldn’t say the answer right now, because this answer was so important that the fate of this curious and intelligent Pakistani driver kind of relied on it. I couldn’t tell the answer precisely, though he supposed it would be so natural for me to give him an answer as a native speaker, as natural as leaves falling from an October tree.这我可以回答，但不是在此时。

At about 5:15 a.m., Antonetti's roommate said she found her attacked and on the couch, bleeding from her head. Police said EMS transported Antonetti to the hospital, where she died 18 days later from head injuries resulting from the attack.The initial investigation went cold after authorities said they were unable to charge a suspect in this case. However, the case was re-examined in 2007 by the Cold Case Unit. In the examination, police said they followed up on an anonymous tip that was received that year.The 2007 tip produced more leads, which ultimately led to the charge of one of Antonetti's ex-boyfriends.Some 23 years later, the case was presented to a grand jury on June 10, and resulted in a charge for first-degree murder against Dennis Davis.Though Davis was previously interviewed at the time of the murder, he was never listed as a suspect. Police said he is currently in custody awaiting a hearing.Mind Mapassault n.侵犯人身（罪）couch n.长沙发EMS 紧急医疗服务（emergency medical service）Cold Case Unit 悬案组anonymous tip 匿名举报lead n.线索custody n.拘留，拘押Info Box1. Detective storyThe traditional elements of the detective story are: (1) the seemingly perfect crime; (2) the wrongly accused suspect at whom circumstantial evidence points; (3) the bungling (搞得一团糟) of dim-witted police;(4) the greater powers of observation and superior mind of the detective; and (5) the startling and unexpected denouement, in which the detective reveals how the identity of the culprit was ascertained. Detective stories frequently operate on the principle that superficially convincing evidence is ultimately irrelevant. Usually it is also axiomatic that the clues from which a logical solution to the problem can be reached be fairly presented to the reader at exactly the same time that the sleuth (侦探) receives them and that the sleuth deduce the solution to the puzzle from a logical interpretation of these clues.The first detective story was The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe, published in April 1841. The profession of detective had come into being only a few decades earlier, and Poe is generally thought to have been influenced by the Mémoires(1828–29) of François-Eugène Vidocq, who in 1817 founded the world’s first detective bureau, in Paris.Poe’s fictional French detective, C. Auguste Dupin, appeared in two other stories, The Mystery of Marie Roget (1845) and The Purloined Letter (1845). The detective story soon expanded to novel length.The introduction of the mass-produced paperback book in the late 1930s made detective-story writers wealthy, among them the Americans Erle Stanley Gardner, whose criminal lawyer Perry Mason unraveled crimes in court, Rex Stout, with his fat, orchid-raising detective Nero Wolfe and his urbane assistant Archie Goodwin, and Frances and Richard Lockridge, with another bright married couple, Mr. and Mrs. North. In France, Georges Simenon produced novel after novel at a rapid-fire pace, making his hero, Inspector Maigret, one of the best-known detectives since Sherlock Holmes. Other writers who carried out the tradition of Holmes or broke new ground included Nicholas Blake (pseudonym of the poet C. Day-Lewis), Michael Innes, Dame Ngaio Marsh, Josephine Tey, Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr), and P. D. James. After 1945, writers such as John Le Carré adapted the detective-story format to the increasingly popular spy novel.The Mystery Writers of America, a professional organization founded in 1945 to elevate the standards of mystery writing, including the detective story, has exerted an important influence through its annual Edgar Allan Poe Awards for excellence.2. Identical twinsIdentical twins develop from a single egg/sperm combination that splits a few days after conception. Their DNA originates from a single source, thus their genetic makeup is the same and the characteristics that are determined by genetics will be similar. Monozygotic twins are always of the same gender, except in extremely rare cases of chromosomal defect.同卵双胞胎即单卵双胞胎，是一个精子与一个卵子结合产生的一个受精卵。

The Story of Steve JobsThis is the text of the Commencement Address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, at Stanford University, delivered on June 12, 2005.1 I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?2 It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?"They said, "Of course."My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college. This was the start in my life.3 And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trusted that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting. It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms. I returned coke bottles for the five-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town 本文是苹果计算机公司和皮克斯动画工作室的首席执行官史蒂夫?乔布斯于2005年6月12日在斯坦福大学毕业典礼上的演讲稿。

Why do people tell white lies?Because they‘re white and more polite and make people feel all right.2. What are the common white lies?I say I'm 10 when I'm 9 and a half; I pretend I‘m asleep when my dad walks in, etc. II. Cultural Background（粗体的部门注意在ppt中要保持粗体）1. A white lie is one that lacks evil intent, as opposed to a black lie, which is most certainly malevolent, though normally we don‘t bother to specify that lies are evil. A white lie is harml ess or trivial, which is frequently said in order to avoid hurting someone‘s feelings.2. Behavioral scientist Wendy Gamble identified four basic types of lies for a University of Arizona study in 2000:Prosocial:Lying to protect someone, to benefit or help others.Self-enhancement:Lying to save face, to avoid embarrassment, disapproval or punishment.Selfish:Lying to protect the self at the expense of another, and/or to conceal a misdeed. Antisocial:Lying to hurt someone else intentionally.Section Two Global ReadingI. Text Analysis / Main IdeaThis is a piece of persuasive writing. It is of journalistic style.In this text, the author asserts the ubiquitous presence of petty white lies, analyzes its causes, discusses its grave consequences, and concludes that some lies are justifiable, while others are tobe avoided.II. Structural AnalysisThe author begins with the results of two surveys. Then he comments on the consequences of telling lies. In the end, he discusses which lies should be avoided.Part I (Paras. 1-6) introduces the topic by reporting two survey results.Part II (Paras. 7-11) shows that people often tell white lies so as not to hurt others.Part III (Paras. 12-15) deals with the consequences of telling lies.Part IV (Paras. 16-18) discusses whether lies should be avoided at all costs.Section Three Detailed ReadingI.Text 1The Real Truth about LiesRandy Fitzgerald1 At the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, psychology professor Bella DePaulo got 77 students and 70 townspeople to volunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.2 One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1535.3 The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a re lative‘s opinion. According to DePaulo, women in their interactions with other women lied mostly to spare the other‘s feelings. Men lied to other men generally for self-promoting reasons.4 Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reported that their deceptions caused them ―little preoccupation or regret.‖ Might that, too, be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude towards casual use of prevarication is common.5 For example, 20,000 middle and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics – a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, California, devoted to character education. Ninety-two per cent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous year, and 73 per cent characterized the mselves as ―serial liars,‖ meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 per cent of all respondents said they were ―satisfied with my own ethics and character.‖6 Think how often we hear the expressions ―I‘ll call you‖ or ―The check is in the mail‖ or ―I‘m sorry, but he stepped out.‖ And then there are professions—lawyers, pundits, public relations consultants —whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the truth to suit clients‘ needs.7 Little white lies have become ubiquitous, and the reasons we give each other for telling fib s are familiar. Consider, for example, a corporate executive whom I‘ll call Tom. He goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law‘s home for a holiday dinner every year. Tom dislikes her ―special‖ pumpkin pie intensely. Invariably he tells her how wonderful it is, to avoid hurting her feelings.8 ―What‘s wrong with that?‖ Tom asked Michael Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. It‘s a question we might all ask.9 Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-law‘s point of view. Suppose that one day Tom‘s child blurts out the truth, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, ―Thank you for caring so much?‖ Or is she more likely to feel h urt and say, ―How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about? ―10 And what might Tom‘s mother-in-law now suspect about her own daughter? And will Tom‘s boy lie to his parents and yet be satisfied with his own cha racter?11 How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express our appreciation for gifts, when we don‘t really mean it? Surely, these ―nice lies‖ are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant. But, like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walter Scott, who wrote, ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.‖12 Even seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can p ut us on a slippery slope. ‗After the first lies, others can come more easily,‖ she wrote in her book Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life. ―Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar‘s perception of his chances of being caught may warp.‖（斜体的部分注意在ppt中保持斜体）13 Take the pumpkin-pie lies. In the first place, it wasn‘t just that he wanted his mother-in-law to feel good. Whether he realized it or not, he really wanted her to think highly of him. And after the initial deceit he needed to tell more lies to cover up the first one.14 Who believes it anymore when they‘re told that the person they want to reach by phone is ―in a meeting‖? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarications does matter.15 Once they‘ve become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust. ―When [trust] is damaged,‖ warns Bok, ―the community as a whole suffers; and when it is destroyed, societies falter and collapse.‖16 Are all white lies to be avoided at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, ―like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set themup for a surprise party,‖ Josephson says. ―Still, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the au thority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.‖17 Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term trust in you has been undermined?18 And if you‘re not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. ―When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound your friends.‖II. Questions1.What is the result of Professor Bella DePaulo‘s survey? What conclusion can we drawfrom the result? (Paragraphs 1-2)According to the survey done by Professor DePaulo, 140 out of 147 people admitted having told lies. As some of the lies are well-intentioned, people may not regard them as lies. This result shows that telling lies is common.2.What is the result of the survey conducted by Josephson Institute of Ethics? What can welearn from it? (Paragraph 5)According to this survey, among 20,000 students surveyed, 92 percent professed to have told lies and meanwhile, 91 percent never doubted about their own ethics or character. Again, this result shows that telling lies is common and people seldom relate telling lies to morality.3.According to the writer, what could be considered ―nice lies‖? (Paragraph 11)According to the writer, all these co uld be considered ―nice lies‖: complimenting people on their appearance, expressing appreciation for gifts or food.4.What is the grave consequence of telling lies? (Paragraph 15)The ubiquitousness of lies may cause people to be distrustful of each other, thus leading to the collapse of the whole society.Class Activity （该部分放在课文第11段的页面中）Group discussion:What does this sentence ―What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive‖ mean?Can you give an example to illustrate its meaning?III. Words and Expressionsprofess v.e.g. James professed to know everything about sculpture.He professed the greatest respect for the law.Practice:（制作的时候中文先出现，然后设置按钮，点击以后出现英文翻译）她自称对此事一无所知。

1 Lindsey, sitting on the couch in her living room, turned on the 5 o’clock news channel.1 琳赛坐在起居室的沙发上，打开电视，收看新闻频道5点的整点播报。
2 “Supposedly, new evidence has been found identifying a person connected to a four-year-old robbery case in Portland, Oregon, and a fingerprint was able to be matched with one of the perpetrators at the last crime scene,”reporting from Channel 10 news scrolls across the TV screen in bold letters. A picture was shown on the screen, identified by the fingerprint. (To be continued) 2 “据称，新证据已确认一名嫌犯，该嫌犯与四年前在俄勒冈州波特兰市发生的一起抢劫案有关，现场采集的一枚指纹与上起犯罪现场中一名凶犯的相吻合。
”这条新闻在第10频道以粗体字形式在电视屏幕上滚动播出。
而根据指纹所鉴定的嫌犯照片也一同出现在屏幕上。
Lindsey looked at the photo and went into shock because it was her or her twin sister Sara being accused of the robberies. Lindsey and Sara were identical twin sisters and their personalities were the only key to telling one from the other. Lindsey was quiet and conservative, while Sara enjoyed partying with her friends. Sara was killed last year in a car accident. She was hit by a drunk driver and died instantly, before the paramedics arrived on the scene.看到照片，琳赛陷入了震惊，因为被指控犯下这些抢劫案的正是她或她的双胞胎姐妹萨拉。
琳赛和萨拉是同卵双胞胎，她们之间唯一的明显区别是性格不同：琳赛文静保守，而萨拉则外向开放，喜欢和朋友聚会。
萨拉去年死于一场车祸，被一个醉酒的司机撞倒，当场死亡，医务人员根本来不及到达现场进行抢救。
3 Furthermore, Lindsey had been getting these strange dreams recently at night, in which she was the perpetrator. Some dreams involved her robbing an elderly couple in broad daylight of their vehicle and expensive jewels. (To be continued)3 除此之外，最近，琳赛夜里还经常做一些怪梦，梦见自己是一名凶犯。
有时，她梦见自己在光天化日之下，抢劫一对老夫妇的汽车和贵重珠宝。
Other dreams involved her torturing and burning an old man on his chest and face with an iron pipe as he was tied to his bed in his home. Lindsey was unclear as to why she was having these images, nor did she know where these crimes had taken place. She replayed the broadcast message in her mind and wondered if her images and the robberies had any connection.有时，她梦见自己在一个老人的家里，老人则被她绑在床上，她正用一根铁管折磨和灼烧他的胸部和脸部。
琳赛不知道为什么会有这些梦境，也不知道这些犯罪行为发生在哪儿。
然后，她又想了想刚刚播放的消息，心里纳闷：这些梦境和抢劫案究竟有没有关系？4 “Hello, Mom, did you see the picture of me or Sara on the news a few minutes ago?” Lindsey asked in a slow tone of voice.5 “Y es, honey,why is your photo on the news?”6 “It’s not me, Mom. It’s Sara. I’ve never lived nor stayed in Portland, Oregon.”4“嗨，妈妈，你看到几分钟前新闻里那张我的或是萨拉的照片了吗？”琳赛缓缓问道。
5“看到了。
亲爱的，你的照片怎么会出现在新闻里？”6“那不是我，妈妈，是萨拉，我从来没在俄勒冈州波特兰市住过或待过。
”7 Lindsey hung up the phone before her mom could say another word. She realized that an extensive search on her part was going to be required to remove herself from the case. Moreover, she was going to have to locate the place Sara was living in four years ago around the time of the crimes. Lindsey drove over to Sara’s home in search of anything left behind linking her with the Portland area. (To be continued)7 琳赛没等妈妈回答，就挂断了电话。
她意识到，要洗脱嫌疑，就得靠自己去做大量的调查。
而且，她还必须确定，四年前案件发生前后萨拉住在哪儿。
于是琳赛开车来到萨拉的住处，寻找一切遗留下来的能将萨拉和波特兰地区联系起来的线索。
Her home was still the same, because their mom kept it after Sara passed away. Lindsey entered the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen. The living room looked very clean. Lindsey was with Sara when she bought the home and it seemed weird walking back into the home without her sister around. Lindsey wasn’t surprised at the neatness and cleanness of the rooms. She looked shocked as she entered the bathroom, which was a mess with trash on the tiled floor and a dirt ring around the tub. (To be continued)萨拉家里面貌依旧，她们的妈妈在萨拉去世之后负责料理这所房子。
琳赛走进客厅、餐厅和厨房。
客厅看起来非常干净。
