Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Lying in a Foreign Language Is Easier Most people dont find it more difficult to lie in a foreign language than in their native ton

30、gue. However, things are different when telling the truth: This is clearly more difficult for many people in a foreign language than in their native one. This (41)_ conclusion is the result of a study conducted by two psychologists from the University of Wrzburg: Kristina Suchotzki and Matthias Game

31、r. The two scientists presented their (42)_ in Journal of Experimental Psychology. Their findings could be important for a lot of processes in which the trustworthiness of certain people must be (43)_. In such situations, reports by non-native speakers tend to be considered as less (44)_ even though

32、 they may be truthful. Their discovery also explains another a (45)_ namely that people communicating in a foreign language are generally considered as less trustworthy. There are two research (46)_ to predict differences between deception and truth telling in a native compared to a second language.

33、 Research from cognitive (认知的) load theory suggests that lying is more difficult in a foreign language. Compared to truth telling, lying is a cognitively more (47)_ task.

34、t . Lying is easier in a foreign language: This should be true according to the emotional distance hypothesis (假设).

35、speaking in a native language, communicating in a second language is less (50)_ arousing. Accordingly, this (51)_ emotional arousal would promote lying. To settle this question, the Wrzburg psychologists conducted a number of experiments in which up to 50 test persons had to complete specific tasks.

36、 They were asked to answer a number of questions sometimes (52)_ and sometimes deceptively both in their native language and in a foreign language. Some questions were (53)_; other questions were clearly emotional. The results show that it usually takes longer to answer emotional questions. Answers

37、in the foreign language also take longer. And generally, it takes longer to tell a lie than to tell the truth. However, the time differences between deceptive and truthful answers are less.(54)_ in a second language than in the native language. The data suggest that the increased cognitive effort is

38、 responsible for the prolongation (延长) of the truth (55)_ in the foreign language. The reason why this prolongation almost does not exist in lying can be explained with the emotional distance hypothesis: The greater emotional distance in a foreign language thus cancels out the higher cognitive load
