--- Do you have any problem if you____ this job?

   --- Well, I’m thinking about the salary…

We've all had that moment when we are in the middle of sorting old clothes，or walking down the street and passing a restaurant，or someone hugs you and their pleasant smell go slightly and you're instantly transported to a past memory or you feel an emotional response to that smell．
For me，the smell of bubble bath will always make me think of long soaps in the big claw-footed bath and my grandma's house in the UK!If this sounds like you too，there is a reason for it．Psychologist Sabina Read explains，"Fragrance is commonly linked to our mood and behavior via learned emotional responses associated with smells and past experiences．If we smell roses while visiting a sick loved one in hospital，the smell may arouse sadness or grief （哀伤）； however if we first smell roses after giving birth，we will most likely associate that smell with feelings of joy and love．Therefore fragrance plays a powerful role in mood and emotion across our life．"
And it's this understanding which Imperial Leather has used in creating their new fragrance range．The brand undertook a survey of 2，200Australians on fragrances and smells---and some of the results might surprise you．
*A huge 97percent of people feel more confident just by wearing a fragrance．
*Women feel most attractive wearing a floral （花香的） scent．
*Floral fragrances are the most attractive scent with men voting it as their favorite scent for a partner．
*Over half the nation，51percent，have used the same fragrance for five years or more．

It happened to me recently．I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President．A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，"a brilliantly （精彩地）written book"．However，he then went on to talk about Mr．Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all．I sensed that I was talking to a book liar．
And it seems that my friend is not the only one．Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't．In the World Book Day's"Report on Guilty Secrets"，Dreams From My Father is at number 9．The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one to lie too often （I'd hate to be caught out），I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten．But I am pleased to say that，unlike 42percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984．I think it's really brilliant．
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 58percent said they had never done so）．

(1) How did the author find his friend a book liar？ ______

A. By judging his manner of speaking．

C. By mentioning a famous name．

A. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list．

B. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984．

C. The author admitted having read 9books．

D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read．

(3) By lying about reading，a person hopes to ______ ．
