age.martin doherty, a psychologist at the university of stirling in scotland , led the team of scientists. in this experiment, doherty and his team tested the perception of some people , using pictures of some orange circles. the researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. the first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.the first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. one of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. heres where the trick lies in .in some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circlesmaking the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. and the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circlesso it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.when young children aged 4to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they werent fooled they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. older children and adults, on the other hand did not do as well. older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.as children get older, doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. in other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle as a result, theyre more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.26. doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_.a. childrens and adults eye-sightb. peoples ability to see accuratelyc. childrens and adults brains d. the influence of peoples age27. when asked to find the larger circle, _.a. children at 6 got it wrong 79% of the time with no gray ones aroundb. only adults

according to the passage, we can know that_.a. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white backgroundb. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size,c. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size.d. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size.29. visual context may work when children get older than _.a. 4 b. 6 c. 10 d. 1830. why are younger children not fooled?a. because they are smarter than older children and adults.b. because older people are influenced by their experience.c. because peoples eyes become weaker as they

broken and not survive the simplest of circumstances. the project started taking form well before anyone knew where it would leadwhich is to test the power of like minded people working together to
