What exactly is a lie ? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?
Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than 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’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.
Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.
Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察觉的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.
Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.

Once there was a baby eagle (鹰) living in a nest (巢) on a cliff(山崖). The baby eagle loved his nest. It was warm, soft and comfortable. And even better, his mother gave all the food and love to him. Whenever the baby eagle was hungry, his mother would always come just in time with the delicious food.
He was growing happily day after day. But suddenly his world changed. His mother stopped coming to the nest. He was sad. He thought he would die soon. He cried, but nobody heard him.
Two days later his mother appeared with some nice food. The baby eagle was very happy. But his mother put the food at the top of the mountain and then looked down at her baby. The baby eagle cried out, “Mum, why did you do this to me? I’m hungry. Don’t you know I will die if I have nothing to eat?”
“Here is the last meal I give you. Come and get it by yourself.”his mother said. Then she flew down and pushed(推) the baby eagle out of the nest.
The baby eagle fell down, faster and faster. He looked up at his mum,“Why do you abandon(抛弃) me?”He looked down at the earth. The ground was much closer. Then something strange happened.

Dear Dr Know, I love my grandfather, and he loves me and my sister (my sister is only three years old.). He spends almost all his free time with me and my sister.

If I were you, I’d pick a later but age-unrelated Dr Know |
