CWhen answering a question,your silence might say more than your words.A newpsychology study has found pausing before replying,even for just a few seconds,canmake you seem more insincere or dishonest.That perception()of dishonesty mightnot be too inaccurate,either.Numerous studies in the lab and in real life suggest peopleare slower to respond when they are not being truthful,possibly because it takes moremental work to block a truthful response or fabricate()an alternative.What's been less clear is how well our lies have been fooling people.Some studiessuggest delayed answers come across as insincere to the listener.Others find norelationship between the two,and still more have found the opposite:That a bit ofhesitation increases our perception of sincerity.These findings are inconsistent andconfusing.They are also mostly based on correlations.Even the few studies that haveactually looked at causal relationships often didn't consider confusing factors that couldalso give away a liar or an insincere speaker.The new research seeks to improve some of those limitations by examiningthousands of people under a variety of conditions.Together,it involves more than 7,500individuals from the United States,the United Kingdom,and France in a total of 14experiments.On the whole,the authors found an immediate response was perceived asmore sincere,while a delayed response,even a delay as brief as two seconds,was seenas more insincere."Evaluating other people's sincerity is an important part of social interactions,saysconsumer behaviour researcher Ignazio Ziano."It would be unfair for the responder,such as a crime suspect,if the response delay was misattributed to thought suppression(or answer fabrication when it was in fact caused by a different factor,such assimply being distracted or thoughtful,"explains Ziano.Unfortunately,even when participants were instructed to ignore the response delaysin one of the experiments,it only reduced their perception of insincerity;it did notcompletely remove it.28.What can we infer from the first paragraph?A.The impression of dishonesty isn't always accurate.B.Quicker replies to questions make you seem reliableC.Preparing a truthful response needs more mental work.D.The perception of dishonesty depends on your silence.29.According to paragraph 3,how do researchers carry out their research?A.By analyzing the circumstances of the responses involved.B.By investigating thousands of people in various situations.C.By collecting data from the database from a new research.D.By studying the findings of several previous research projects.30.Why does Ziano say it is unfair for the responder in paragraph 4?A.Because the response delay should be ignoredB.Because a real criminal could escape secretly.C.Because the responder may be judged wronglyD.Because the findings of the studies are incorrect.英语试题（雅礼版）第5页（共10页）
