1. When the writer says “ * Spivak is just an ordinary man”, he means ________.
A it is common that people tell white lies
B * could do nothing about bad traffic
C it is common that people delay their payment
D * found it hard to deal with everyday problems
分析：这道题属于推理判断的深层理解题。作者一方面明确指出*一天之内说了三次谎话，另一方面又不加掩饰地指出*只是个普通人而已。仅从文字表面就可以推出作者对于*的所谓谎话的真实态度或理解的程度，更何况作者下面对这类谎言做了相对明确的论述，这样，只能确定答案A,其他选项所表达的内容仅仅是针对个别问题的。
2. According to the text, most Americans _________.
A hate white lies
B believe white lies
C value honesty
D consider others dishonest
分析：这是一道细节理解题。该题涉及美国人对诚实与说谎的看法或态度的评价问题，回答该问题的关键是认真读短文，第三段中第一句比较清楚地说明了美国人对在公共生活和个人生活方面的诚实的重视。后面又通过目前与过去对比说明了他们的态度。所以正确答案为C。
3. Vauvenarges’ remark suggests that ________.
A lying is an age-old human problem
B dishonesty increases as people get older
C people were dishonest in the eighteenth century
D it is social conditions that make people tell lies
分析：这是一道推理判断的深层理解题。题目意为：“Vauvenarges’评论表明了…”。应从第三段最后一句话“ All men are born truthful and die liars.”在文章中加以分析判断，方能得出正确结论。B项具有干扰性，因为它表达这样一个含义，即“不诚实随着年龄的增长而增长”。但从整段的理解中，特别是作者引用该哲学家的结论的环境，D项是最佳答案。
