Worried that the 27-year-old man making 70,000 as profiled (描绘) on an online dating service isn't so young or taking home that much cash? Chances are he's telling the truth if the site is aimed at long-term relationships. But if he's lying, he's probably a people pleaser—the type of person who'd try to put himself in the best light even if you'd found him offline first. In Professor Jeffrey Hall's survey of 5,020 men and women who belonged to an undisclosed Internet dating site, most respondents (被访者) indicated they wouldn't lie. But those saying they were most likely to lie generally gave answers to other questions indicating they were people pleasers, or "high self-monitors." Such people want to be liked and fit in, these people, whether online or off, may lie about weight, age, income and interests, Hall said. In the study, published in the February issue of the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, respondents were asked to rate on a 10-point scale the likelihood that they would misrepresent their education, income, relationship goals, personal interests, weight and age to a potential date online. "On average, answers were close to around 2 for the most part, which means less likely," Hall said. Men indicated they were more likely than women to lie in every category except weight, according to the study. However, the differences between men and women were small, Hall said. For example, men led women 2.01 to 1.83 when it came to lying about education and income. Women led men 3.24 to 2.37 in lying about weight. "Personality makes much more of a difference in how much people lie," Hall said. "People interested in long-term relationships tend to be the users that are attracted to this site." "Online daters shouldn't be concerned that most people are presenting a false impression of themselves," Hall said in a news released before Thursday's phone interview. "What influences face-to-face dating influences the online world, too."1. What is the passage mainly about?A) A 27-year-old man making 70,000 is dating online.B) People pleasers always lie to others online and offline.C) People should not believe in online dating.D) Online daters don't lie as much as people think they do. 2. According to Professor Jeffrey Hall, those "high self-monitors" always ________.A) aim at having a long-term relationshipB) behave as such people that everyone likesC) try various ways to make other people like them D) lie about their weight, age, income and interests3. What's one finding of the study mentioned in Paragraph 3 and 4?A) Men lie in more aspects than women when dating online. B) Women lie in more aspects than men when dating online.C) Women are more likely to lie about their salary.D) Men are more likely to lie about their weight.4. How much people would lie online is determined by ________.A) their weightB) their incomeC) their heightD) their personality 5. What can we conclude from Professor Hall's words?A) Online daters shouldn't be too worried about being cheated. B) Online daters should try to change people's impression of them.C) Face-to-face dating is far safer than online dating.D) Face-to-face dating is becoming less popular today.
