bi needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps, maybe occasionally for magazinesbeing the cautious type, i fancied a reliable brand. so i went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera storethere in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. and it was on special offer. oh joy. i pointed at it and asked an assistant, “can i have one of those?” he looked perturbed（不安）. “do you want to try it first?” he said. it didnt quite sound like a question. “do i need to?” i replied. “theres nothing wrong with it?” this made him look a bit insulted and i started to feel bad “no, nobut you should try it,” he said encouragingly. “compare it with the others.”i looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box, with so many models to choose from, it seemed that i would have to spend hours weighing x against y, always trying to take z and possibly h into account at the same timebut when i had finished, i would still have only the same two certainties that i had entered the store with: first, soon after i carried my new camera out of the shop it would be worth half what i paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.but something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choicein the end, i agreed to try the model i had chosen. the assistant seemed a sincere man. so i let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppersand when he started to introduce the special features, i interrupted to ask whether i needed to buy a carry - case and a memory card as well. why do we think that new options still offer us anything new? perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.59. the shop assistant insisted that the writer should _. a. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itb. compare the camera he had chosen with the othersc. get more information about different companiesd. trust him and stop asking questions60. what does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what i paid for it”( paragraph 2）?a. he should get a 50% discount. b. the price of the camera was unreasonably high.c. the quality of the camera was not good. d. the camera would soon fall in value.61. the writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _.a. knew very little about it b. didnt trust the shop assistantc. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestd. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers62. it can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion, _.a. waste too much money on camerasb. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifec. we dont actually need so many choices when buying a productd. famous companies care more about profit than qualityccameron thought of himself as merely organized. he certainly did not consider that he took great pains over anything, he did just enough to get it right. exactly right, of course, for he was fond of telling his staff, “if its not exactly right, its wrong.” occasionally a worker might be sad on hearing these words, because it meant another hour or so of going over the same bit of work, correcting the mistakes which cameron had patiently pointed out, and doing the corrections exactly right of course.strangely enough, his department had the reputation for performing the highest quality work in the company, and it was seen, and not only by those who worked in the department, as a sort of elite(出类拔萃)unit. those programs that had to work first time, straight out of the box, camerons men got those. “its mission(任务)criticalgive it to cameron” was almost a catchphrase with his team.it helped that cameron was not merely particular about things. he wanted things done just so, not because of a personal taste, but because he had discovered through patient experimentation that this was the best way for it to be done.in camerons dictionary, “take as long as you want” meant that you could work on your task not just in office hours, but that evening, and late into the early hours of the following morning if you so desired. but the project had to be in by its completion date, and yes, done exactly right. or you did it again.but he would always be regarded, and not least by himself, as someone who had failed to meet requirements, one of those who just couldnt cut it. you had to face it, if you were not working for cameron, you were second best. so when word got out that cameron had messed up big time, the news was greeted with a mixture of sympathy, and entire relief that this perfection too was human.63. cameron was a _.a. software programmer b. head of department c. quality controller d. a chief scientist64. “mission-critical” work given to cameron because _.a. he had a good team b. cameron was criticalc. he didnt mind working late d. camerons work was errorfree65. working for cameron, people felt that _ .a. cameron was very particular about things b. their mission was criticalc. they were part of an elite d. cameron was patient and responsible66. what can we learn about cameron?a. he didnt allow for any mistake. b. he never got things wrong.c. he encouraged work to be done in office hours. d. he was often misunderstood. din this section, we are concerned with reconstructive memory. suppose you are trying to remember some event. reconstructive memory would involve combining the pieces of information about the event you can remember with your relevant knowledge and experience to reconstruct what probably happened. the concept of reconstructive memory is related to schema theory. a schema is an organized package of information containing your knowledge about the world; it helps us to make sense of it all. schemas are stored in long-term memory. your schemas tell you that if you were wearing a t-shirt it was likely to be summer. bower, black, and turner showed that most people share similar schemas. most people listed the following as the most important events associated with having a restaurant meal: sitting down, looking at the menu, ordering, eat
