Most parents are crazy with their children's little white lies,but here is a piece of good news. A study has shown that children who lie from an early age are more likely to become high-flying leaders,executives (管理者) and bankers. The study of 1 ,200 children has found that a fifth of two-year-olds are likely to tell lies,rising to 90 percent from the age of four. At the age of 12 ,it reaches the highest.
Dr Kang Lee studied children from the age of two to seventeen. He said ,“Parents should not be worried if their child tells a lie about something that is not important. Almost all children lie. Those children who lie better mean that they can cover up their mistakes. “They may become executives in later life. Lying shows that children have developed executive ability — an act which involves several brain processes to keep the truth at the back of their mind ,” Dr Lee said.
Dr Lee told the children not to look at a purple Barney toy dinosaur (恐龙) placed behind their back. He then left the room for one minute —giving them time to look,while their activities were filmed. Nine of the ten children did turn around.
But most of the children denied (否认) it. While the study found the most dishonest age was 12 ,it dropped to about 70 percent once the children turned to 16 years old.
