四、根据短文内容，找出相关信息，完成表格，没空不超过3个单词。
It seems that everybody tells lies（撒谎）--well, not big lies, but "white lies". Telling white lies isn't really that
bad. Most of the time, people do it because they want to protect friendship or they don't want to hurt someone. Here are some ways they do it.
★Giving false excuses.
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party. You think it will be boring, so you say you're busy.
★ Lying to make someone feel good.
Often we don't tell the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Mmm, this is delicious!"
★Lying to hide bad news.
Sometimes, we don't want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had a terrible day at work, but you don't want your family to worry about you. So if your parents ask you about your day, you just say everything was fine.
Some Ways: People Tell White Lies
Ways Examples
Giving 61.__________ When you want to refuse a boring party, you may say 62. .
Lying to make someone feel good When your friend cooks dinner for you, you probably say that's delicious
though 63. .
Lying to 64. .
You have a terrible day but you don't want your family to worry about you. You may say 65. if your parents ask you about your day.
