六 任务型阅读。（11 分）
Most children learn honesty from fairy tales. Pinocchio's nose grows longer when he lies. In the US, kids learn that young George Washington bravely said he cut the cherry tree. These stories tell children “Honesty is the best policy.” 1.
One reason people lie is to hide mistakes. Everyone does something wrong from time to time. 2. For example, students may lie about not finishing homework, saying it's at home, just to avoid(避免) trouble. Another reason people lie is to get away from things they don't want to face. For example, if a company has a weekend meeting, a manager may not want to go. She may call her boss and make an excuse. 3. People often do this when they don't want to tell the truth. However, people sometimes tell a “white lie”. For example, if your friend has an ugly haircut, you can say it's special instead of “It looks terrible.” 4.
People lie for many reasons. 5. But lying to avoid trouble may bring more trouble in the end. If we know why people lie, we may lie less.
