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.

    The dog, later {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (name) Arthur, came up to a Swedish team while the members were sharing a meal in front of a 20_mile race stage through the rough area in Ecuador. One of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (athlete), Mikael Lindnord, took pity on the dog wandering near their table and fed {#blank#}3{#/blank#} meatball to it. And that meatball made them friends for life, as far as Arthur was concerned.

The extreme sport of adventure racing includes biking, hiking, and boating that challenge even the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (strong) humans. Imagine a dirty stray（迷失的）dog trying {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (keep ) up. But Arthur {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (do) keep up. The dog followed the team as they got up to leave. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (actual), he never stopped following them—swimming alongside the boat of the team, and taking on muddy(泥泞的)slopes when the team hiked.

    Arthur stayed alongside the team for the rest of the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (compete),but not without cost to his well—being. The dog needed doctor's attention after the six-day race was finished {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the team helped Arthur as much as they could during the event. Arthur's hard work paid off: Lindnord decided to adopt(收养) the dog {#blank#}10{#/blank#} brought him back to Sweden.

    Astronauts are people who go out into space. Being an astronaut is an exciting job. While in space, astronauts can look down and see {#blank#}1{#/blank#}（cloud）, land, and water. They can even see the moon up close. Astronauts get the chance {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) more stars than you or I have ever seen. Being an astronaut may be exciting, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it is not an easy job. A person who {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(want) to be an astronaut has to study for years. There are many things an astronaut must learn to do before going into space.

    Rhiannon Lambert, who treats about 180 clients a year with various kinds of eating disorders, says the number of those caused by "clean eating" {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (double) in the past three years. "They develop particular habits, or won't eat food when walking, because they think that food can only be eaten when they {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (seat)," she said.

    Clean eating is promoted by some food bloggers, who are increasingly thought by a number of medical experts to be having a bad influence on young people today. "Young people lose this and cannot afford the lifestyle needed to follow it," Lambert said. Health bloggers {#blank#}3{#/blank#} not have enough knowledge but offer dangerous advice. These people are now role models {#blank#}4{#/blank#} word will inspire young people. I have clients who think they have to be a strict vegetarian to be successful. The extreme form of this is known as orthorexia nervosa (健康食品强迫症).

    Ursula Philpot, a dietitian at the British Dietetic Association, said, "It is difficult to blame them completely. If it weren't the bloggers, then it could be {#blank#}5{#/blank#} else. Orthorexia affects more girls than boys, although boys are much more affected than girls." Philpot said, "At the top of most people's lists of bad foods includes gluten (麸质) and dairy. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} you talk to young people more, you will find some of them worry all day about eating a biscuit."

    The condition starts out as an attempt {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (eat) more healthily, but those who experience it fully focus on food quality and purity. "There may be several reasons for someone to take up clean eating," Philpot said. "Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses and their causes are complex. Research is telling us that they may be more biologically based than we thought, {#blank#}8{#/blank#} social and environmental factors also play a part in their development."

    Deanne Jade, the founder of the National Centre for Eating Disorders, said, "A lot of young people don't think they need treatment and there are too many messages in the media. What worries me is that a lot of people {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (promote) these ideas have no knowledge of nutrition. I don't know what the solution is, but in many cases, getting people to recover from an eating disorder means {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (get) them to relax their ideas about clean eating."

    Anna had a car accident when she was a teenager. She lost her arms because of that. What's worse, when she was twenty years old, she lost her parents. Her elder sister, {#blank#}1{#/blank#} is ten years older than her, told her she'd take care of her. However, Anna refused {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (live) with her. Instead, she said she would take care of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (she). She managed to enter college and {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (study) very hard. Four {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(year) later, she graduated and offered work. Once she wrote in her diary, "I am quite lucky. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} I lost my arms, I still have my legs." Anna lost her arms, but she chose to face it in a positive way. Instead of {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (feel) sad every day, she decided not to let it hold her back. She has taught us {#blank#}8{#/blank#} good lesson.

    When something bad happens to us, we have two {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (choose). One is to complain, and the other is to face it {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (brave). If we choose to escape, it will always follow us wherever we go. If we decided to be strong, new hopes will come. So choose wisely.
