The world would be a better place if we all had children’s eyes. This is not because children’s eyes are too sharp to allow any blot（污点, 瑕疵）to pass without being 41 , but because adults have too many conflicting concerns to keep their eyes open to all wrongdoing.
Not long before, an examination, intended to 42 some police officers to higher positions, was held in Gansu province. Someone 43 with a good idea that 18 primary pupils could be invited to act as invigilators (监考人). At that age, students would do as they are told and act fearlessly. 44 , they caught 25 officers cheating on the spot, which has caused a stir (轰动,搅动) and 45 the question of whether adult invigilators would 46 their duties as well.
The implication of this event goes 47 its impact on the work style of local police officers and the examinations. Most people said what these children have done points to the sad fact of 48 being less trustworthy. If adults acted as invigilators, they would quite 49 turn a blind eye to cheating.
We Chinese have been holding the 50 that human nature was good at birth: as 51 of blot as a sheet of blank paper, which can be 52 with content (good or bad) in the process of growing up. Everything should be done on the basis of certain principles. 53 , nowadays the repeated reports of cheating in examinations, selling ranks and 54 and embezzling (挪用) public funds paint a 55 picture of common social morals. Adults have become too concerned with their own personal gains to 56 basic sense of principles. When no one 57 any principle and the only concern is personal interest, everyone will 58 , not only those who first break the rules.
Besides, cheats are unfair to honest examinees, and when the success of cheats 59 more people to cheat, the consequences will be disastrous.
In a word, we adults need to have our eyes as 60 as children’s on matters of principle.

A
WHEN there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust?
According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you’re selling.
Researchers from Britain’s University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments.
The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.
The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn’t as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.
Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted.
The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn’t change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.
