How to Spot a Liar
In this world, you need to protect yourself. 31 To help you spot them right away, here is what research experts tell us about how people behave when they lie.
? 32 People who are lying often say little as possible when they are initially questioned.
They keep their stories short, while truthful people give details. The problem with lying is that you have to remember what you said, so less is better.
? They make small gestures frequently. Liars don?t generally seem restless (焦躁不安的)— in
fact, research shows we often stay more physically still when we are being untruthful. 33 According to the CIA, while lying, people are likely to touch their upper bodies often: rubbing hair or eyes, touching the cheek or mouth, scratching, adjusting clothing or glasses. Small, but frequent, movements can be an indicator that the speaker is hiding something.
? They repeat the questions. Untruthful people are more likely to repeat the question they have
just been asked before they offer an answer. 34 Perhaps they are in the process of convincing themselves that the words they are saying are actually the truth.
? They spend a lot of physical and mental energy on defending themselves. In denying guilt,
responsibility, or blame, people will often give long justifications (辩护) or explanations for their thoughts or choices. They may be working just as hard to convince themselves as they are the listeners. 35
A. They don?t mention specific details voluntarily. B. They avoid eye contact without realizing it. C. You need to tell the truthful from the liars.
D. Actually, their voices and body language will show that effort. E. But, small gestures can still be a telling indicator.

F. However, most untruth starts with a lie people tell themselves.
G. They may be buying time to create a story or recall the details they?ve already given.

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of

art. When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was told the sad news and in deep sorrow for his only son. About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands.
He said, “Sir, you don?t know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.” The young man held out this package. “I know this isn?t much. I?m not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.”
The father opened the package. It was a portrait (肖像画) of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in amazement at the way the soldier had caught the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. “Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It?s a gift.”
The father hung the portrait on the wall of the sitting room. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected. The father died a few months later and his lawyer organized a great auction (拍卖) of his paintings according to his will. _____________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But to everyone?s surprise, the lawyer announced the auction was over! _________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
