Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. During the Spring Festival in China, children (give) money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protectagainst evils(灾祸).

After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

    Curiosity is part of human nature. Children are famous for wanting answers {#blank#}1{#/blank#} tons of questions. People keep reading or watching {#blank#}2{#/blank#} they want to find out what happens. But curiosity also provides many practical benefits.

Learning is easiest if you have a genuine desire for knowledge. Curiosity can create that desire when you have a question.

    Many of history greatest discoveries {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(make)by curious people. People wondered {#blank#}4{#/blank#} processes worked or how certain tasks could be done more effectively. Thanks to their curiosity, people now know far more about the world and have useful technology {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(help)them.

    Even if you don't plan to be an inventor of researcher, curiosity can still help you in the classroom. If you develop the joy of learning, classes will become more fun. And you'll excel because you will be fully engaged in the process of learning. Even if you're no longer a student, curiosity will make you better {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(inform)and thus a more capable worker.

    What do you do if you're not already curious? Fortunately, curiosity is a skill that can be improved. If you act like you're curious, you'll quickly start to actually feel curious. Often, the more you learn about a topic the {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(interesting)it becomes.

    As you learn about a topic, gather information from as many sources as possible. Read a variety of books, watch or listen to lectures and ask questions. Don't always get your information from the same source. Instead, learn to appreciate facts that different people know and the different opinions {#blank#}8{#/blank#} they express.

    Ask a lot of questions, Remember, everyone knows {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that you don't. Find out what that is, and ask about it. This lets you learn something and makes the other person happy by letting them show off their knowledge.

In the classroom or out of it, {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(develop)curiosity is sure to be worthwhile.

    Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it's a necessary condition for many worthwhile things such as child care or friendships. On the other hand, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (put) your faith in the wrong place often carries a high price.

    Then, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that produces pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instruction that leads sheep to flock together for safety and prompts humans {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (connect) with one another.

    Swiss Scientists have found that exposure{#blank#}4{#/blank#} this hormone puts us in a trusting mood: In a study, researchers sprayed oxytocin (催产素) into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (high) amounts of money to strangers than were their counterparts{#blank#}6{#/blank#}inhaled something else.

    Lucky for us, we also have a sixth sense for dishonesty that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} protect us. A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate between a credible person and a dishonest {#blank#}8{#/blank#}. Sixty toddlers were each introduced to an adult tester holding a plastic container. The tester would ask, "What's in here?" before looking into the container, smiling, and exclaiming, "Wow!" Each subject was then invited to look inside. Half of them found a toy; the other half discovered the container was empty-and realized the tester {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (fool) them.

    Among the children who had not been tricked, the majority were willing to cooperate with the tester in learning a new skill, demonstrating that they trusted his leadership. In contrast, only five of the 30 children {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (pair) with the "inflexible" tester participated in a follow-up activity.
