    It used to be common to see US teenagers busy at fast-food restaurants cooking burgers and  (clean) tables, especially during the summer vacation. , the scene is becoming less common.

    Instead of finding summer jobs, many US teenagers are spending  (they) free time taking classes. According to The Atlantic, this change partly results  the low teen earnings paying little toward the costs of college. For many students who are going to attend college, the money from summer jobs doesn't live up to their  (expect) at all. Meanwhile, US teenagers' increasing interest in education  (account) for this as well. They go to summer school to learn  they might not have time for after they leave school, which  (consider) as a wise choice.

    Despite this, a summer job is still believed to benefit teenagers. Early work experience is  human activity that develops people's social skills. When kids are working, they gradually gain  (practice) knowledge and understanding of the labor market.

    Honesty is a virtue, and telling a lie is morally wrong. But how can you know if someone is {#blank#}1{#/blank#}? The answer is, they're probably not. Traditional economics says that people are rational beings who will lie if it is {#blank#}2{#/blank#} their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we're pretty honest ―especially {#blank#}3{#/blank#} we're at home.

Researchers in Germany phoned people at home and asked them to toss a coin. There was a strong financial incentive (激励) to fake the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participant would receive money or a gift voucher, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no {#blank#}5{#/blank#} of getting caught if they lied. And yet people revealed the truth despite that they {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (receive) nothing. Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up roughly 50% of the time. In this study over half the people (55.6%) asked said that the coin landed heads-up. Most of them didn't pursue the reward at the {#blank#}7{#/blank#} of honesty.

    Previous studies had found that people were more dishonest. In those laboratory studies 75% of people, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (include) some who faked the results, reported a winning coin and claimed a reward. So the research team guesses it's being in our own home {#blank#}9{#/blank#} makes us play fair. {#blank#}10{#/blank#}, what motivates people to do so remains unclear.
