　　When we're young we are taught that it's wrong to lie and we should always tell the truth.Unfortunately,most children lie even if they're told not to.Research carried out at the Institute of Child Study at Toronto University has shown that this might not be such a bad thing.Apparently(显然地),children who tell lies when they're two years old have a good chance of becoming successful adults(成年人).

　　According to the research,at the age of two,20 percent of children lie.At the age of three,50 percent lie,and at four almost 90 percent lie.By the age of 12 almost every child tells lies.

　　Lying needs much brain work,and the better the lie is,the more work the brain has to do.By training the brain early,researchers believe children will be able to think more clearly when they are adults.

　　Recent research,carried out by the Science Museum in London,has shown some interesting facts about the way we lie as adults.According to the research,the average British man tells three lies every day;that's over 1,000 lies a year.However,the average woman apparently only lies twice a day.

　　Most people think women are better liars(说谎者) than men although in fact they tell fewer lies.Popular women's lies include "Nothing's wrong;I'm fine","I don't know where it is;I haven't touched it",and "It wasn't that expensive."

　　Some people say you can lie as long as it's a white lie.A white lie is a lie told to avoid hurting someone's feelings.One of the most common lies for both men and women is "It's just what I've always wanted",said after opening a present from their partner.

1.What will happen to young children who lie?

A.They will possibly do wrong later.

B.They're likely to succeed in the future.

C.They will keep lying when they grow up.

D.They may have a good chance of losing other's trust.
