I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldnt 77 . One more test before the final exam.

This is something that hurts the person who has been lied to and f 81 it ends up hurting the person who did the lying as well. Lying is never something that is easy to forget or even to forgive. But it is something that you should try to understand so that you can be a better friend.Usually, friends lie because of the way that they are feeling. If a friend feels inferior to(比差) another person, he might make up stories so that he can get more a 82 . If your friend is lying to you for this reason, it might be a good idea to talk to your friend and make him understand that he doesnt need to feel that way.There are times when a friend might lie to try not getting into trouble. For example, if a friend knows he has been doing something you d 83 , or if he now regrets what he has said or done, he might want to lie about it so that you wont be angry with him. The best way to deal with this situation is to get to the bottom of what might have happened, and make sure that you are being h 84 with your friend about everything that you do and the fact that lying hurts. S 85 , a friend lies for other reasons. One of these reasons might be to protect your feelings. For example, he might lie about h 86 silly you look or what stupid words you have said. You must decide if truthfulness(真实) is more important than your feelings in this type of situation.Many times, friends dont lie to hurt each other. Perhaps they know that the truth might make you mad at them, and they just dont want to lose your f 87 . The best way to deal with lying is to talk to your friends calmly, and get the truth.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)Researchers from two universities in Britain recently carried out a very interesting project. They aimed to find out what modern family needs from their home. The lucky family chosen to take part in the project was the Joneses: parents Paul and Eve and their two sons, Jimmy (16) and Harry (13). They have just spent two months living in a specially designed hi-tech future house, where cameras recorded everything they did. TV while you batheSo whats in this modern house? It boasts (夸耀) five bedrooms and five bathrooms. The sitting area has a huge TV and a digital picture frame-you can decide which photos you want to appear and change the picture as often as you like. The baths all have waterproof TV screens and DVD players. There is a remote control（遥控器） in every room which controls everything in the house from the lights to the cooker. The floors are all made of glass and all have underfloor heating. The windows clean themselves and there is even a robot called “Iron Man ” to do the ironing. Dirty washing goes into a lift which takes the clothes automatically to the washing machine. The “Iron Man” then does all the ironing. So how did it go?The Jones family were over the moon to be chosen to spend some time in the house. Heres what they said:Paul: It was great. The house was so comfortable. One day our friends called round with their dog. The dog felt so warm and comfortable; he even slept on the floor! Oh, but there was one problem. One night we were all in bed and all the lights switched themselves on for no reason. It was a bit frightening!Jimmy: I loved it, but I wish there had been a robot to help me with my homework. Harry: Staying in was as much fun as going out!Eve: I loved the TV in the bath but I never watched it before going to work in the morning. If I did, I dont think Id ever get out!The Jones family are now back in their very ordinary home, but planning some hi-tech additions as soon as they can afford them! The experts hope that results from their project will help developers meet the needs of a 21st-century family. One of the experts wrote a few sentences about his findings on this project:After watching what the Jones family did in the house and listening to how they felt about their life there, we learn that _ 88.
