    Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(感知) something different about it.

    Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children. For perception is the mind’s explanation of what the senses-in this case our eyes-tell us.

    Many psychologists(心理學(xué)家) today are working to try to decide just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific method, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors(因素). By measuring and charting(用圖表表示)the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

1. Seeing and perceiving are ______.

[　　]

A. the same action

B. two separate actions

C. two actions carried on entirely by the eyes

D. several actions that take place at different time

2. Perceiving is an action that takes place ______.

[　　]

A. in our eyes

B. only when we think very hard about something.

C. only under the direction of a psychologist

D. in every person’s mind

3. People perceive different things about the same scene because ______.

[　　]

A. they come from different countries

B. they cannot agree about things

C. some have better eyesight

D. none of these

4. Psychologists study perception by ______.

[　　]

A. setting up many experiments

B. asking each other what they see

C. looking out of window

D. studying people’s eyes

5. The best title for this passage is ______.

[　　]

A. How We See

B. Learning About Our Minds through Science

C. What Psychologists Perceive

D. How to Become an Experimental Psychologist

Ask Dr? Jeffers         This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human
brain and how it works.
Dear Dr. Jeffers,
     One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to 'read
minds'. Is there any truth to this story/
-Jane Leon, New York, USA
Dear Ms. Leon,
     Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment
and corresponding computer programs haven't been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment,
test subjects (受試者) were connected to scanning equipment and shown two numbers on a screen.
They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting (減) the two numbers. Using this
method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions (假設(shè)) 70
percent of the time. It's not quite mind reading, but it's certainly a first step.
-Dr. J.
Dear Dr. Jeffers,
     My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle (胳肢) him until he
laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn't do it. Why
not?
-Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada
Dear Mr. Lewis,
     It's because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and
what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic
reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don't notice how your shoulder feels
while you're walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on
the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It's that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.
-Dr. J.
1. What can we learn from the answer to the first question?
A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.
B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.
C. Test subjects have been used to make decisions.
D. Computer programs can copy brain processes.
2. People laugh when tickled by others because the feeling is _____.
A. unexpected
B. expected
C. comfortable
D. uncomfortable
3. Who has got a little child according to the text?
A. Ms. Leon
B. Mr. Lewis
C. Mr. Moeller
D. Dr. Jeffers
4. According to the text, Jeffers is probably _____. 
A. a computer programmer
B. a test subject
C. a human brain expert
D. a medical doctor

     Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will
almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.
However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we
need.We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way
possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home
in the first place.
     The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now
makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets
nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
     Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,
is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off
greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process
itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is
a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they
need.However,a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue,encouraging
customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.
     But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate
packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.
This is especially true of food.But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products,which
often have far more packaging than necessary.
     There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realise just how much
unnecessary material we are collecting.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,
but we have a mountain to climb.
