But new research has suggested many parents may not even notice many of the lies their children tell them. Psychologists have discovered that most parents are over­confident in their child's honesty and this may lower their ability to spot a lie. The findings may help to explain why some parents seem to be willing to let their children get away with almost anything. They say that mothers and fathers suffer from a “truth bias(偏见)” with their own youngsters but when faced with lies from other people's children, they have less difficulty telling if a statement is true or not. Dr.Angela Evans, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario, Canada, said, “The close relationship that parents share with their own children may be related to their lives. Parents' truth bias may reflect a rigid and perhaps biased idea of their own children based on previous experiences. This view may result in parents being less suspicious of their children and allowing their children to be able to successfully cheat them.” Most children are thought to start lying as early as two years old but start telling more believable lies at around the age of four. Learning how to lie is widely considered to be a key part of the social development in children. But many parents are shocked when their children start lying to them. In their study, Dr. Evans and her colleagues filmed 118 children as they performed a test. Then videos of those children were shown to 152 parents of children aged 8 to 16 years old, 80 of whom had children who had taken part in the test. The researchers found that the parents were less able to spot lies told by their own children. However, they were better at finding truths than parents whose children hadn't taken part in the test. 语篇解读　父母往往不能识别自己孩子的谎言，却能轻易识别别人家孩子的谎言。这是因为父母往往对自
