“No, when do you want to have 7 ”
“Er, OK ... err ... 8 a.m. ” she smiled and I 8 quickly,“Only if that is 9 for you though.”
I knew about the British stereotype(模式化观念) of 10 before I came abroad. However, I didn’t 11 until I arrived here and began experiencing it on a day-to-day basis.

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them, there’s something highly exciting about 1 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.

For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 3 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures. But our 4 research results in child developmental psychology 5 that idea.
We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC.Each child sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 6 . We then asked the child if she could see or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 7 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 8 children said that they couldn’t 9 to her.
A number of 10 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 11 the questions and knew exactly what was asked of them. Their 12 to the questions reflected their true 13 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply insist on mutual(相互的) recognition and regard. Our 14 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head, it is not a result of egocentrism. In fact, children consider this method 15 when others use it.
