There may be ways, however, to(4)_____ a lying person before you find yourself(5)_____ from him or her at a table lit by candles. Researchers from Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison compared the(6)_____ heights, weights, and ages of 78 Internet dating participants to their profiles on four dating websites. They noticed several(7)_____ from people who were less than(8)_____. For example, they were less likely to(9)_____ to themselves as "I"; used indirect expressions,(10)_____ "not boring" instead of "exciting" to describe themselves; and stuck to(11)_____ descriptions.
"People do this because they want to(12)_____ themselves from their misleading statements," explained Catalina Toma, an author of the study, in a statement. Using these indications, the researchers(13)_____ identified liars about 65 percent of the time. People lied most frequently about their(14)______, with women slimming down, on average, by 8.5 pounds, and men by 1.5 pounds. At least half the subjects(15)_____ their height, and nearly 20 percent changed their age.

选项
A、protect
B、distance
C、save
D、rescue
答案
B
解析
do this指代的是“使用简短的语言”,人们这样做的目的当然是为了使自己远离谎言,distance...from...“使远离……”符合语义要求。protect“保护”、save“挽救”在语义上过重了:rescue“救援”常用于从灾难中救出。
