问题    Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it’ s a necessary condition【C1】______many worthwhile things: child care, friendships, etc. On the other hand, putting your【C2】______in the wrong place often carries a high【C3】______.
   【C4】______, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. 【C5】______people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that【C6】______pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instinct that prompts humans to【C7】______with one another. Scientists have found that exposure【C8】______this hormone puts us in a trusting【C9】______: In a Swiss study, researchers sprayed oxytocin into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly higher amounts of money to strangers than were their【C10】______who inhaled something else.

A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate【C13】______a credible person and a dishonest one. Sixty toddlers were each【C14】______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!"

【C2】
选项 A、faith
B、concern
C、attention
D、interest
答案A
解析 考查上下文语义及名词辨析。本句句意为“另一方面，在错误的地方施以______往往会付出高昂的______”。根据首段第一句的trust可知，空格处所填单词应是trust近义词，所以faith“信任”符合题意。concern“关注”，attention“注意力”，interest“兴趣”均不符合题意。
