    Mandarin(普通话) is the most {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (use) non-European language for children to learn, the UK parents believe. It will boost(促进) their children's career prospects (前景),according to 55% of parents, while 56% felt it would open their children's minds {#blank#}2{#/blank#} an “exciting and dynamic(动态的)” culture. Arabic and Japanese, {#blank#}3{#/blank#} were both picked by 14% of parents, were the other key non-European languages. The figures were gained after 1,138 UK adults with children aged under 18 {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (be) questioned in a survey {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (conduct) by the Mandarin Excellence Programme (MEP).

    French, Spanish and German were the top choices overall for young people in the UK     {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (learn) after being picked by 57%, 54% and 40% of parents respectively.

    Mark Herbet, of the British Council, said: “With the global economy {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (become) more interconnected and the drive to boost exports, language skills are increasingly important for work and life. Mandarin is one of the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (language) that matter most to the UK's future prosperity (繁荣).If the UK is to remain competitive on the world stage, we need far more of our young people leaving school with a good grasp of Mandarin in order to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (success) work abroad or for businesses here in the UK. Learning Mandarin is also a fascinating process that brings {#blank#}10{#/blank#} valuable understanding of Chinese culture.”

    The MEP aims to help at least 5,000 young people in England to speak fluent Mandarin by 2020.

    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.
