It is OK to make up white lies. That doesn’t mean you are dishonest. 3 , it may make both you and the other person pleased and fortable.
When 4 to a party or some other events that you do not want to take part in, you can say, “No, but thanks for the invitation. That’s very kind of you.” In this way you can not only refuse 5 but make the person who invited you feel fortable.
When you don’t want to lie, just tell the 6 . You may say like this, “I want to spend more time on myself, 7 I’ve decided to say‘no’to these activities.” In this way, people will see that you respect yourself, and as a result they’ll also pay you 8 respect.

(答案→)activities
解析：
【小题1】useful activities“有用的活动”。
【小题2】和impolite“不礼貌的”，对应的是unkind“不友好的”，都是贬义词。
【小题3】这里应该填副词，Instead“相反的”，和前面的句子： That doesn’t mean you are dishonest.相对应。
【小题4】这题是过去分词做时间状语，when后面省略了you are，you和invite是被动的关系。填invited。
【小题5】句意是：你不能仅仅礼貌的拒绝。填politely。
【小题6】lie对应的是 truth，意为：当你不想撒谎时，你可以说出事实。
【小题7】两句话是因果关系。句意是：我想留给自己更多时间，所以我拒绝这些活动。填so。
【小题8】句意是：别人会看出你尊重他们，他们会给你更多的尊重。填more。
【小题9】the reason for doing“…的原因”填saying。
【小题10】Feel proud of yourself“以自己为荣”填yourself。
