What exactly is a lie ? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue ?Or is it something more than that ?For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you, but I am short of money myself.” In fact , you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this really a lie ?

Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of southern California has made a scientific study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it’s terrible. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise that they have no intention of carrying out. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at :the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.

Research has been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face, particularly the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose  is very sensitive to changes and the increased pressure makes it itch.

Another gesture that gives liars away is what the writer Decmond Morris in his book Man Watching calls the “mouth cover”. He says that there are several typical forms of this ,such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side off the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious(未察覺(jué)的) attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself from lying.

Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth , moving about in a chair can not be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to happen more often in this situation. It is one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things , and in particular the context(上下文) which the lie is told.

A British judge ruled recently that swearing (咒罵) at the police is not a crime (犯罪), setting off a heated debate（辯論） across the nation.

Denzel Cassiues Harvey , 19 ,was stopped outside his home in Hackney , East London , by police officers who thought he was carrying drugs. He was fined ￡50 by a count for repeatedly （重復(fù)）swearing at the police who were searching him for drugs.

But judge David Bean overturned(推翻) the decision of the previous（以前的） court . He said that police officers hear foul language too frequently to be offended （冒犯）. Judge David Bean said the foul language used by Harvey was unlikely to cause the police officers harm , alarm or distress（苦惱）, because it was so “common”.

The judge may have been right to cancel（取消） the fine in this individual case . But there are massive problems with what he said when making the ruling .

Foul language is frequently directed at police officers, but this doesn’t mean that it should be accepted as part of their working life.

How can we justify（證明） this ? There are the people who devote their lives to protecting us.

What does it say about our respect for the police , if we see them as people who can be spoken to abusively (粗暴地) without a second thought?

There are many times that police officers do not penalize member of the public for swearing at them and it would be impractical（不切實(shí)際的） to punish every person that abuses(辱罵) them with foul language .

But if officers feel that someone has crossed the line , they should not be criticized for reacting（反應(yīng)） to this . They are there to make these judgement and we need to allow them to do so.

The question is not what is said, but how the language is used. If a person swears with genuine（真實(shí)的） aggression （進(jìn)攻，侵犯）and aims to cause fear they should be penalized.

The police are enforcers （實(shí)施者）of the law, not mute（無(wú)聲的） punch bags.(沙袋)

It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.

“Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her co-worker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名聲) or salary.

I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.
