But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a childs lie is different from an adults lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the childs back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didnt. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.Researchers have found that its kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. Thats because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as bining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie and lie successfully is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.26. Whats the purpose of children telling lies? A. To help their friends out.B. To get rid of trouble. C.

Surrounded by his traveling panions his dog and three horses, Cope said,“Im very happy to be here. Sometimes I didnt think I would ever arrive.”Cope was inspired to make the horseback journey during a bicycle trip from Moscow to Beijing. Trying to push his bike through the sands of the Gobi Desert, Cope watched in frustration as nomad horsemen appeared out of nowhere and disappeared over the horizon.That got him interested in nomad life and the journey by ancient Asian groups. He set off from Mongolia in xx for a trip he thought would take 18 months. It ended up taking three years, and in late xx, he had to return to Australia for several months when his father died in a car crash.Cope quickly learned to trust the wisdom of locals. “In Mongolia, the nomads always told me that wolves were the most dangerous things and I didnt believe them at first.” he said. Then one night he found himself surrounded by wolves. “When you hear that cry alone at night in the forest, its one of the most frightening sounds youll ever hear,” Cope said. “After that I took their advice and threw firecrackers out my tent door every night to keep the wolves away.”Cope says he probably spent about half of his nights in his tent and the rest in farm houses and huts of strangers along the way. “In Kazakhstan, they believe that if you invite a guest, luck will fly into your house.”Cope wants to write a book and shoot a film about his voyage, and is already imagining future adventures in northwest China and the Middle East.“Its my way of life.

That day, the couple also emptied nine cans of Hot Shot Fogger in their home. Two days later, they reapplied the insecticides and released nine more cans of Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer. The woman then applied the insecticide Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer directly to her arms and chest, and wet her hair with it before covering her head with a plastic cap.Two days later, her husband found her. She was taken to the hospital where she remained on a ventilator (呼吸器) for nine days until she died.
