问题     Trust is a tricky business. On the one hand, it’s a necessary condition【B1】______many worthwhile things; child care, friendships, etc. On the other hand, putting your【B2】______in the wrong place often carries a high【B3】______.
    【B4】______, why do we trust at all? Well, because it feels good. 【B5】______people place their trust in an individual or an institution, their brains release oxytocin, a hormone that【B6】______pleasurable feelings and triggers the herding instinct that prompts humans to【B7】______with one another. Scientists have found that exposure【B8】______this hormone puts us in a trusting【B9】______: In a Swiss study, researchers sprayed oxytocin into the noses of half the subjects; those subjects were ready to lend significantly higher a-mounts of money to strangers than were their【B10】______who inhaled something else.
    【B11】______for us, we also have a sixth sense for dishonesty that may【B12】______us. A Canadian study found that children as young as 14 months can differentiate【B13】______a credible person and a dishonest one. Sixty toddlers were each【B14】______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!"

【B17】
选项 A、betrayed
B、wronged
C、fooled
D、mocked
答案C
解析 考查动词辨析。上文提到测试员在给幼儿演示实验时，首先问了一句“这里有什么?”然后他再向容器里面看并微笑着欢呼，似乎在告诉幼儿容器里面有什么东西。但本题所在分句指出容器里是空的，由此可知，测试员欺骗了另一半的受试幼儿，且根据下一段首句出现的tricked“欺骗”也可证实此处测试员愚弄了一部分幼儿。故选C。
