well, in situations like this, its often better to be economical(经济的) with the truth. you might say that you dont know why john cant go or that you think he has something on that weekend. of course, this isnt telling the complete truth but you are sparing pauls feelings on something that wont, after all, have strong influence on pauls future.36. if you want to grow spiritually, it is best for you to_. a. follow your destination b. be true to yourself c. plan your personal development d. accept honest people as衔ends 37. what does a dishonest man probably do? a. he keeps all his things secret. b. he doesnt want to be trustworthy. c. he depends much on others. d. he stops growing any taller. 38. the passage tells us that if you choose to live a dishonest life, you will_. a. suffer from dishonesty b. become very attractive c. influence honest people d. have attractive friends 39. the example in the last paragraph is used to prove that_. a. we should always tell the truth b. john is not a trustworthy person c. telling lies causes pain on someone else d. sometimes we cant be completely honest 40. what is the main idea of the passage? a. we should be economical with the truth. b. people can gain from dishonesty. c. honesty helps you develop. d. trust produces confidence.【参考答案】baadc【2014高考英语广东省佛山市质测试题】d ever get that feeling youre being watched? well, if youre a dog-owner, you may have a point. dogs are able to watch peoples interactions with one another to determine who holds yummier treats, according to a new study. this study joins others that show dogs are good observers of human behaviors and feelings. it offers evidence dogs use information not only from peoples direct interactions with them, but also their interactions with one another. in the study, dogs watched a man ask two women for some of their corns. both women gave the man corns when he asked, but in response to one woman, the man showed his enthusiasm and said the corns were so delicious. in response to the other woman, he gave the corns back and called them gross (in spanish; the study was conducted in argentina). after these interactions, the man left and an assistant holding the dog let the dog go. while many dogs didnt approach either woman, the dogs that did have a preference tended to prefer the woman with the yummier food. other studies of dogs people-watching ability have found dogs are able to tell thedifference between happy and sad faces in their owners. they prefer people who give others food when asked over people who dont give others food. and in one study, dogs turned toward crying people more often than toward talking people. so how much do dogs really understand about the humans around them? thats not totally settled yet. in a strange twist to the argentine study above, when the researchers tried an experiment in which they put two plates of corns on a table and had a man react to each plate, dogs didnt preferentially approach the tastier plate afterward. you could say dogs watch for the interaction between two people,
