tricks on us New research shows that sometimes people physically see what they want to see Cornell University social psychologist 心理学家 David Dunning carried out experiments to test whether wishful thinking can actually affect what we see It s well proved from what is experienced in everyday life and from the laboratory as well that people think what they want to think he says We re taking this a step further We re asking if strong wishes and fears can actually affect what people physically see Dunning and his assistants told volunteers that a computer game would show them either a letter or number to decide whether they would drink orange juice or fruit syrup 果子露 As they wrote in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology the computer would flash an ambiguous picture which could be seen as the letter B or the number 13 Volunteers who were told that a letter would get them orange juice most often reported seeing B Those who were told that a number would get them orange juice most often saw 13 The researchers also used a hidden camera to track volunteers eye movements particularly the first eye movement We don t control them Dunning says and they don t even know that we are watching them so it honestly shows what a person is seeing This research suggests that the brain is doing a lot of work between the eye and the conscious awareness to affect what we think Dunning concludes 得出结论 Before we even see the world our brain has decided to keep what we want to see and avoid what we don t want to see 43 The passage is mainly about A the eye movements of some volunteers B an experiment by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 英语试卷第 7 页 共 10 页 C a social psychologist Dunning and his assistants D new findings on what may affect what we see 44 In Dunning s

Treasure Island Kit Williams a modern writer had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues found in a book when he wrote a children s story Masquerade in 1979 The book was about a hare and a month before it came out Williams buried 埋 a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare but Williams put in a lot of red herrings or false clues to mislead them Ken Roberts the man who found the hare had been looking for it for nearly two years Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time he found it by logic 逻辑 not by luck His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start He had realized that the words One of Six to Eight under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon the first of Henry VIII s six wives Even here however Williams had succeeded in misleading him Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridgeshire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea came to him He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill in Bedfordshire and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon until one day he saw two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773 英语试卷第 8 页 共 10 页 Even then his search had not come to an end It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there Williams encouraged him to continue and on February 24th 1982 he found the treasure It was worth 3000 in the beginning but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable 47 The underlined word them paragraph1 refers to A red herrings B treasure hunts C Henry VIII s six wives D readers of Masquerade 48 What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the hare A Two stone crosses in Ampthill B Stevenson s Treasure Island C Katherine of Aragon D Williams home town 49 The stone crosses in Ampthill were built A to tell people about what happened in 1773 B to show respect for Henry VIII s first wife C to serve as a road
