When I was a sixth grader, kids were separating into groups, but I wasn't sure where I belonged．

Our teacher gave us a task called "secret friends" for the coming week．We were supposed to do nice things 36 our friends without letting them know who was doing it．We could leave 37 notes or cards either on their desks or in their backpacks．Before doing the task, with our eyes closed, from a basket, we 38 a name of a classmate who we were to secretly befriend over the next five days．

Soon, the task was turned into a competition of giving 39 instead of notes．Everyone was getting cool presents except me．My friend followed the teacher's 40 without a fault．I received nothing but handmade cards with nice words about me．

On the last morning, I finally got a package．When I 41 it, the girls around all 42 ．It was perfumed powder, an "old lady" gift．My face went red．

I tried to forget about the 43 gift, but when

"I'm your secret friend．" It was Rochelle．" I' m sorry about the gift," she whispered to me, tears 49 down her face．

From a poor family, she was a 50 at school for those with rich parents．Yet she just took all the 51 and the horrible treatment silently．

I was sick to my stomach as my 52 words ran through my mind．She had heard everything．How could I have been so cruel?

Later I learned she had felt bad all week about not being able to leave me any cool present and her mum had given up her only luxury（奢侈品）．

And I had 53 everything for her．

I told her that I had only said those things to try to 54 .

A

How Many Lies Do the Children Tell You?

Mothers who feel their children don' t appreciate them can add a
nother grievance to the list: half the time, their children are lying to them．A study designed to expose the truth about lying shows that undergraduates lie to their mothers in 46% of their conversations．Still, mums should feel better than total strangers, who are told lies an astonishing 77 % of the time．

Bella Depaulo and a team of psychologists from the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, asked 77 undergraduates to keep a record of all their conversations for a week, and write down whether they lied at any time．DePaulo named lying broadly, as "when you intentionally try to mislead someone", so she would catch the smallest of lies．

The students told an average of two lies a day．They said they had been studying when they had been out drinking．One told his parents that a textbook cost $50 rather than $20 so that they would send him extra money．Female students constantly told their plain-looking roommates that they were pretty．" They are everyday lies," says DePaulo．

DePaulo and her colleagues conclude that people tend to tell fewer lies to those they feel closest to．College students lied to their best friends 28% of the time but lied to acquaintances 48% of the time．In close relationships, people were more likely to tell "kind-hearted" lies, designed to protect feelings, rather than self-serving lies．

Romantic partners lie somewhere between close friends and acquaintances．Students lied to romantic partners about a third of the time．DePaulo thinks that unmarr
ied lovers can expect less honesty than best friends because of the insecurity that comes with romance．

Mothers can take heart from one other finding．They may have been lied to, but at least their children talked to them．The students were recorded telling few lies to their fathers because they had little interaction with them．

56．What is the meaning of the underlined word "g
rievance" in Paragraph 1?

A．Opinion B．Belief C．Complaint D．Difficulty

57．According to the passage, college students felt closest to ______ ．

A．mothers B．romantic partners C．acquaintances D．best friends

58．Female students lied to their roommates to .

A．get money from them B．offer them the services

C．gain more
security D．make them happy

59．What is the purpose of this article?

A．To present a fact． B．To argue an idea．

C．To tell a story． D．To explain a theory．
