My friend’s grandfather came to America from Eastern Europe. After being procesd（移民入境检查）at Ellis Island, he went into a cafeteria in Lower Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at a table and waited for someone to take his order. But nobody came to him. Later a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.

money. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it yourlf.”

Britain's most popular lie has been disclod, with one in four people admitting using “sorry I had no signal" when returning a misd mobile phone call, a survey found.
Rearchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year. Almost one in six men admitted they were most likely to lie to their wife or girlfriend, on average at least twice a day. The most popular lie was saying you had no mobile phone signal, with one in four people admitting regularly using the little white lie. It usually came after they hit the “ignore" button when their mobile rang.
Three quarters of people think women are better liars. The rearch found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.
The cond most common fib（无关紧要的谎言） is “I haven't got any cash on me” when asked for money by tramps (流浪者), beggars and Big Issue llers. “Nothing's wrong – I'm fine” came third followed by “You look lovely” and “Nice to e you”.
Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with “I didn't get your text” in 18th, “Our rver was down” in 20th and “My battery died” in 26th place.
Other lies to make the top ten included “I'll give you a ring”, “We're just good friends” and “We'll have to meet up soon”. “I'm on my way” and “No, your bum doesn't look big in that” completed the top ten.
Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.
In many cas perhaps it is better to flatter with a fib than destroy someone with the truth, according to a spokesman for OnePoll, which carried out the rearch of 4,300 adults.

at the other end hears the same tone.
