2、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
3、 is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they havent. In the World Book Days 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 Im not one t

But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwells 1984. I think its really brilliant. The World Book Day report also has some other in
5、teresting information in it. It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen,Charles Dickens,Fyodor Dostoevsky (I havent read him,but havent 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 t
6、ricky 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). Fortytwo percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing th

10、ed what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona.
11、 She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she said. Thats the picture I remember best. The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtua
12、l reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it.

Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the I
15、mplicit Association Test, which measures the strength of peoples associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test
16、again. This time, the participants bias scores were lower. The idea is that once youve put yourself in anothers shoes youre less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalized the feeling of being that person. The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. At the end of body swapping, peop
