（2020·浙江·二模） Friends should always be honest with you, right So when they lie, it can be really hard to take. You want to trust your friends and that means knowing that they’ll tell it to you straight no matter what it is. 26．Why does this happen
27．
One of the biggest reasons friends lie is simply to avoid hurting your feelings. Some people don’t understand the difference between being gently honest with a friend and being so straightforward that they leave a verbal wound. They choose to avoid these two extremes in the form of a lie.
They feel embarrassed.
Sometimes friends will lie about things in their life because they are too embarrassed to admit the truth. Maybe they are going through a rough time and they just don’t want you to know about it. Avoid trying to badger ( 纠 缠 ) your friends into telling you what’s wrong.28．
Avoid an argument with you.
Perhaps your friends know that if they tell you the truth, you’ll get angry with them. Make sure that if a friend tells you something unpleasant, you don’t overact.29． If you do end up arguing, do it in a respectable way.
Exclude you.
Lying isn’t always a sign that friends are trying to protect you, however. 30． When you find out with certainty that your friend is lying to you, try and face it. If you feel your friend is lying because he or she doesn’t want to be around you, that’s your wake-up to move on.
A．Protect your feelings.
B．They want to be your closer friends.
C．But a friend who lies isn’t always trying to hurt you.
D．Consider what’s being said and why your friend is telling you this.
E.Being honest and making a sincere effort can keep the friendship strong.
F.Sometimes they lie because they don’t want you to be included in their plans.
G.Instead, make it clear that you are there for them when and if they are ready to talk.

Talk money ahead of time.
When you’re traveling with friends, the topic of money will certainly come up. 31． Talking about expenses early on will help your friends understand what can be done and what can’t be done.

Once you’ve nominated (任命) a leader, using a travel folder to collect all tickets, maps and other important documents can help streamline the process of group travel, as well.
Power down.

37． We may consider different people we meet every day to be nice and feel like making friends with them. However, not all good people are matches for us. Rather than make friends with the popular students, we should spend time with those we have things in common with, or who will be there to listen to us.
