It seems that everybody tells lies —well, not big lies, but what we call “white lies”. Telling “white lies” isn’t really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they w ant to protect a friendship. A survey (调查) shows that each person lies about seven times a day. The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. Here are some reasons why people tell “white lies”.

◆Lying to hide something: People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, Paul doesn’t tell his parents that he is going to play basketball because he doesn’t think they will agree. He tells a lie that he’s going to the library to study.

◆Lying to make someone feel good: Often we don’t tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it doesn’t taste good. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmm, this is delicious!”

◆Giving false (错误) excuses: Sometimes people lie be cause they don’t want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it well be boring, so you say you’re busy.

◆Lying to hide bad news: Sometimes we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a very bad da y at work, but you don’t want to talk about it. So if someone asks you about your day, you just say everything was fine.

106. How many reasons for telling “white lies” are mentioned (被提及) in the passage?

____________________________________________________________________________ 107. Why do people tell “white lies” most of the time?

八、阅读与回答问题（本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）

Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes，makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason．Everyone wants to be happy．But sometimes，a guest comes in without invitation．It's unhappiness．Don't let it get you down．Send it away!

When you are happy，the world feels like a better place．As a saying goes："When you smile，the world smiles with you；when you cry，you cry alone．" Wearing a smile will make you more attractive and help you to win lots of friends．A good mood always gives you hope，which makes trouble and problems easier to deal with．

No matter how happy you are，it's normal to feel angry，sad or gloomy sometimes．Life is full of ups and downs．We can't change the way life is，but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one．To help us do this，it's good to know some of the factors （因素）that

influence happiness．

One of the biggest factors is social relationships．People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don't have those relationships．Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence．Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing．Another factor is work or school．If you enjoy school，even if you have lots of homework or extra classes，you will still feel that your school life is meaningful and happy．But if you hate school，your negative （消极的）attitude may cause you to feel bored and upset that you have to do so much work．

A third factor is your attitude （态度）towards life．How do you feel if you fail in an exam？Maybe you think it's unfair because you always study hard and should have got a good mark．You can't stop blaming （责备）yourself．Or，maybe you accept it．You go through the paper carefully，find out why you made stupid mistakes，and tell yourself，"Take it easy! I'll do better next time!" Your attitude makes a big difference．

Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time？

Still, people say"Every dog has its day.” This means that every person may enjoy some successful day during his or her life. We can describe someone who is unkind as a “junkyard dog" .

A junkyard is not a fun place for a dog. Junkyard dogs live in places where people throw

away things that they don't want.

For example, a woman might get angry with her husband for coming home late. She may tell him that he is in the “doghouse” now.
