(B)
阅读下面短文,并根据所读短文内容在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
It seems that everyone tells lies—well, not big lies, but “white lies”. Telling white lies is not really that bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don't want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party, you think it will be boring, so you say you're busy.
Lying to make someone feel good
Often we don't tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say, “Mmmm, this is delicious!”
Lying to hide bad news
Sometimes, we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work, but you don't want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say everything was fine.

I like the books that can teach me valuable life lessons best. The book I want to recommend to you is *The Old Man and the Sea*. It tells a story of a brave old fisherman who tries his best to fight against difficulties at sea. I learned a lot from the book: we should never give up when we face trouble. It is such a wonderful book that I believe you will love it.
