    China's industrial output is expected to rise by around 6.5 percent this year, marking the best{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (perform) since 2010{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the Made in China 2025 strategy (策略) helps to raise productivity and revenue(税收).

    The increase is 0.5 percentage points {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(high) than the targeted growth, partly {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(drive) by strong efforts to increase the use of new technology at traditional enterprises(企业), Miao Wei said on Monday.

    “The country's industrial economy has maintained steady and sound growth thanks {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the Made in China 2025 strategy. It promoted the combination of manufacturing and new technologies such as{#blank#}6{#/blank#}Internet, big data and cloud computing,” Mina added.

    The ministry also predicted that the country's industrial output would be likely{#blank#}7{#/blank#} (grow) by around 6 percent next year, with revenue from the telecommunications, Internet, and software and information technology service{#blank#}8{#/blank#} (increase) by 50 percent, 30 percent and 13 percent, respectively.

    According to Miao, the country will also publish policies{#blank#}9{#/blank#} promoting the development of digital economy. Official data show that the country's digital economy added up to 22.58 trillion yuan last year, ranking second{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (global) and accounting for around 30 percent of national GDP.

    Perigueux is the capital town of the Dordogne region (地区) in France. Up to now, I {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (live) in Perigueux for nearly six months. So I think I'd let you know some of {#blank#}2{#/blank#} best things to do here.

    The cathedral (教堂) is a very {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (impress) landmark in Perigueux. It is a big building with five large domes (穹顶) {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (form) its roof. Another must-see is the Vesunna Museum, which explains the origin (起源) of the town from Gallo-Roman times and has many amazing old {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (object) on show. You can also find the remains of a Roman amphitheater (竞技场) in a park, and old towers {#blank#}6{#/blank#} formed the town's old defenses. You will probably find a(n) {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (hide) café or restaurant where you can enjoy a speciality food or, if you are really hungry, a three-course lunch.

    In summer, the Dordogne region is a hot spot for tourists {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (visit). Brantome is a town known as the “Venice of the region” because of {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (it) many beautiful bridges crossing the river. In the town of Sarlat, you can buy local products. The town of Montignac is famous {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the nearby Lascaux caves, which contain cave paintings created by people who lived over 17,000 years ago!

    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.
