19、urchases 15% off C Parents say that honesty is the best policy, but they regularly lie to their children as a way of influencing their behavior and emotions, finds new research from the University of Toronto and the University of California.Surprisingly little has been published on the subject of pa
20、rental lying, so Gail Heyman, professor of psychology at the University of California, Diem Luu, a former student of the University of California, and Kang Lee, professor at the University Toronto, set out to explore the under researched phenomenon. They asked US participants in two related studies
21、about parents lying to their childreneither for the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didnt go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents report
22、ed inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter that if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fair would come and give them to the children who needed them.”In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students recollections about their parents lying an
23、d obtained similar results: parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place，” said LEE. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions wh
24、en it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges parents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests，” said Heyman.“It is common for them to try out
25、 a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to childrens beliefs about honesty.”28The subject of parental lying _.Awas not allowed to be researched in the past Battracts little attention because it is

With her eyes shining, Tori brags，“You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.” Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam, I can
29、tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori arent very different from most students here at Linton Higt School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people , it can give gossip
30、ers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep s
31、ecret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answ
32、er lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others dont. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words, gossip is satisfy
33、ing because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感). Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school
34、 terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The dos and donts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
35、 The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, things about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story ”might have.32.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to_ .A. introduce a topic B .present
