【要点综述】本文是一篇议论文。

作者通过与朋友聊天引出本文的话题bookliar，列举了大家谎称读了实际未读的书目，以及大家喜欢的一些作家，并阐述了人们撒谎的常见理由。

64．D　细节理解题。

根据文章第一段可知，作者跟他的朋友深谈有关奥巴马的那本书时，发现朋友对奥巴马的背景一无所知，这暗示出朋友其实并没有读过这本书。

故选D。

65．B　推理判断题。

本题的关键词是guiltysecret，定位第二、三段。

根据文章第二段中的“ButIampleasedtosaythat,unlike42percentofpeople,Ihavereadthebookatnumberone,GeorgeOrwell's1984.”可知，作者读过《1984》这本书，而42%的人没读过却装作读过。

故选B。

66．B　细节理解题。

根据文章第四段中的“Askedwhytheylied,themostcommonreasonwasto‘impress’someonetheywerespeakingto.”可知，人们之所以选择撒谎是想让对方觉得自己知识渊博，从而给对方留一个好的印象。

因此B正确。

67．C　推理判断题。

文章第五段的最后一句话表明作者的态度，故选C。
