Parents f very yung children knw this:Yu catch yur child in the act f stealing the ckie — the evidence f candy written n his r her face.Hwever,yu get a wideeyed denial:“I didn't d it!”
Learning t tell the truth,even at the risk f punishment,is an imprtant part f mral (道德) develpment,and new research suggests it can take seven r mre years fr kids t get there.
Early in 2017 Prfessr Craig E.Smith published a study.He and his wrkmates chse 48 children between fur and nine years f age.They tld the kids a stry abut a by r girl ding smething wrng,such as taking a classmate's ty r candy,and then either lying abut the wrngding t a parent r cnfessing (承认) it.In each case,they asked the children,“Hw wuld the child feel?Hw wuld the mther feel?”
The children's answers were generally divided accrding t age, which is in agreement with the abve research, shwing a gradual grwth f mral understanding in early childhd. Mre f the furtfiveyear lds thught the child in the stry wuld feel better keeping the stlen candy,lying and getting unpunished.They imagined the parent in the study wuld be angry with the child wh cnfessed.Hwever,the seventnineyearlds were mre likely (可能的) t think the child wuld feel better cnfessing the crime and that the parent wuld have psitive (积极的) feelings twards a cnfessr.
Smith says, “Kids f all ages wh expect that a parent wuld feel happy abut a child's cnfessin are mre likely t tell the truth rather than lie.Reward the hnesty even if yu feel yu must punish the wrng actin.”He adds,what parents can learn frm these studies is t listen calmly withut getting angry right away when their child cnfesses.

C.The furtfiveyearlds wuld feel better cnfessing the crime.

【实战训练】 D
The custms in different cuntries are rather different. If I have dinner with a Chinese hst, he always puts mre fd nt my plates as sn as I have emptied them. It ften discmfrts me greatly. I have t eat the fd even if I dn’t want t, because it is cnsidered bad manners in the West t leave ne’s fd n the plate. I have already nticed that when a Chinese sits at an American’s dinner party, he very ften refuses the ffer f fd r drink thugh he is in fact still hungry r thirsty. This might be gd manners in china, but it is nt in the West at all. In the US it is implite t keep asking smene again and again r insist n him accepting smething. Americans have a direct way f speaking. If they want smething, they will ask fr it. If nt, they will say “N, thanks”. When an American is fed with beer by the hst, fr example, he might say, “N, thanks, I’ll take sme Diet. Pepsy–cla if yu have it.” That is what an American will d. S when yu g t the US, yu had better remember the famus saying, “When in Rme, d as the Rmans d”.
