The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky(I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either )and Herman Melville.

　　Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to“impress”someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in –depth!

　　But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J.k.Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella(ah, the big sellers, in other words).Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story(I’ll come clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).

　　28. How did the author think of Dreams From My Father?

　　A. It was his favorite.

　　B. It made little sense.

　　He was very fond of it. D. He totally had no idea.

　　29. What can we learn from “Report on Guilty Secrets”?

　　A. 58% of people haven’t read 1984.

　　B. All of the listed authors are unknown.

　　C. Many people have ever lied about reading.

　　D. Dreams From My Father isn’t among the top ten.

　　30.Why do people probably lie about reading?

　　A. To admire the writer.
