One August afternoon, I sat in my kitchen staring at a glass vase that hadn't seen daylight since my wedding. My husband and I had just sold our house and we were busy 1 the beloved home our family had spent 23 years filling up. We had decided on key items for the 2 we were moving to in town, donated what we could, and rented a place to 3 our supposedly important objects. That left a house still 4 with things that, while not particularly 5 , didn't belong in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). I took a picture of the vase and posted it online, for $10. A couple of messages came in, one wanting additional 6 , another asking for a price cut. As our 7 day drew near, I settled on a new price ($0) and reposted it. The 8 : “I hate this vase. Maybe you won't.” In an instant, a woman raced into my house and left happily with the vase. 9 , I posted more. My daily posts and the 10 I received became a precious ray of light in the chaos of my house. Each exchange provided a chance to 11 the landfill and to please another person I might not otherwise have 12 . I sit in my apartment today, loving each of the 13 that share our small space. I take 14 in knowing that, somewhere nearby, someone is 15 something that couldn't come with us.

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them, there's something highly exciting about escaping someone else's glance and making oneself unable to be seen. However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably bad at hiding. They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 31 . For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 32 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures. But our 33 research results in child developmental psychology 34 that idea. We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC. Each 35 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or ears. We then asked the child if she could 36 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn't. The same 37 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: now children said that they couldn't 38 to her. A number of 39 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 40 the questions and knew 41 what was asked of them. Their responses to the questions reflected their true belief that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.” They simply insist on mutual (相互的) recognition and regard. Our findings 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 42 when others use it. They believe that if they can't see others, others can't see them either, which is a 43 understanding of mutual visibility. This simple belief shapes their 44 in the game of hide and seek, showing that their behavior is not about selfishness but about a unique way of 45 the world around them.

He throws his arms and legs out as if he were flying, his eyes wide with 47 . His trust in me is 48 , which is quite a nice feeling, but at the same time gives me a huge sense of 49 . I hope Jacky will always trust me fully, but I know that as he grows older, his world will 50 and he will meet people who are not as 51 as I am.
