Ⅰ.阅读理解
Why do people lie? Many psychologists agree that lying can start from childhood.There are various reasons why children make false statements.They usually tell untruthful stories to cover up the mistakes that they have done in the past.Lying is also a way to avoid receiving punishments from parents.If parents fail to reprimand their children for making up false stories,then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years.
Teenagers lie because they want to be accepted by their friends.This is the main reason why they create stories that are not true just to become attractive and acceptable to other people.In some cases, teenagers tell untruthful statements to avoid criticisms from their families and friends.
As teenagers grow, lying becomes one of their habits.Their knowledge on making up untruthful stories becomes more developed.People lie in workplaces if they fail to meet the deadlines and if they fail to achieve and do their tasks efficiently.Some of the common lies made in workplaces are getting sick and having emergencies at home.The danger involved in frequent lying is when it becomes a character.Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological (病态的) lying.
Pathological lying is a mental health condition,which is linked with individuals who have the strong wish to tell untruthful statements.Patients suffering from it make up stories about everything and anything.These individuals lie to meet the standards of other people who they want to please.
These patients cheat other people because it gives them an unexplained pleasure.One of the best ways of treating pathological liars is to help them tell true statements and stories at all times.This may be hard for them, but as they are used to it, they will start to realize that they will be more accepted by their families and other people if they stop themselves from making up false stories.

1.What does the underlined word “reprimand” in paragraph 1 mean?
A.Satisfy. B.Criticize.

解析:选B 词义猜测题。根据语境,尤其是画线词下文“then there is a possibility that they will continue to lie during their teenage years”可知,如果家长没有因为孩子编造虚假的故事而“批评”孩子,那么他们长大后还是会继续撒谎,所以画线词意为“批评;指责”。

B.They want to fool other people.
C.They want to attract others' attention.
D.They want to satisfy others.

A.mental health problems
B.the habit of telling lies
C.the desire to become acceptable

解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“Frequent lying causes the development of the condition known to doctors as pathological lying.”可知,病态撒谎是由经常性的撒谎,也就是习惯性撒谎逐步形成的。
4.What is the author's purpose of writing this text?
A.To show some typical examples of pathological lying.
B.To predict the future consequences of pathological lying.
