Find out how you can tell. How is the person speaking? Although a change in voice can be the tip-off to a lie, experts say that to be sure, you should also pay attention to a person‘s speech rate and breathing pattern. ___【小题 1】 __ What is the person saying? Liars tend to avoid exclusionary words like Dbut,‖ Dnor,‖ Dexcept,‖ and Dwhereas,‖ because they have trouble with complex thought processes. __【小题 2】___ In their attempts to distance themselves psychologically from their tall tales, liars will tend to communicate using fewer personal pronouns.

A true smile will incorporate both a person‘s lips and eyes. ___【小题 5】__ It‘s more important to examine a person‘s entire demeanor, as there‘s no one feature that‘s apt to give away a liar.

B．Is your subject behaving uncharacteristically? C．Liars are less likely to use the words “I,” “me,” and “mine.” D．You should weigh rate of speech, tone of voice, posture, and hand gestures.E.

When she found nothing, she Dwalked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.‖ Another way to decide whether an animal‘s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal.

When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.‖ Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe. __ 【小题 4】 __ But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.
