the science of attention.A philosopher who conducts research inthe medical school was talking about attention blindness,the basic feature of the human brain that,when weconcentrate intensely on one task,causes us to miss just about everything else.Because we cant see what we cantsee,our lecturer was determined to catch us in the act.He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketballsback and forth,three in which shirts and three in black,and our lask was to keep track only of the tosses among thepeople in which.The tape rolled,and everyone began counting.Everyone except me.Im dyslexic,and the moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketballtossers,I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements,so I let my mind wander.My curiosity wasaroused,though,when about 30 seconds into the tape,a gorilla came in among the players.She(we later learned afemale student was in the gorilla suit)stared at the camera,thumped her chest,and then strode away while theycontinued passing the balls.When the tape stopped,the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least a dozen basketballtosses.Hands went up all over.He then asked who had counted13,14,and congratulated those whod scored theperfect15.Then he asked,“And who saw the gorilla?”I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four inthe large room to do so.Hed set us up,Itapping us in our own attention blindness.Yes,there had been a trick,buthe wasnt the one who had played it on us.By concentrating so hard on counting,we had managed to miss thegorilla in the midst.21.This passage describes_A.a basketball matchB.An experimentC.a philosopherD.a gorilla22.“Attention blindness”refers to_A.the fact that one

world,was discovered in a Nashvillerecyclingdisposal unit by a local woman,Swifts management was quick to reassure her admitery that they hadbeen thouwn out accidentally.The response may come as a

anexpectation,but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the farmer,its stemsfrom a sleeply-rooted human next for community and belonging,Zucrms believes.As a result,even receiving,amass-producexl letter of acknowledgement and a photo stumped with a reproduced signature can be a powerexperietice.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolising(偶像化)”she says.“Theycant them up and say,”Can we have coffee?”Its not about the autograph(签名）.Its about the

dental centers.If youre a celebrity who doesnt want everyone to know youre here for a bit of lipo(吸脂术)，no worries.Theres a private entrance that leads to the CosMedic Centre,which offers views of a

and promote its services to the region and the world.On the positiveside,Bali is blessed as one of the regions safest,most popular tourist destinations,with a built-in potential toattract medical

not have known about,had we not asked for help.Ironically,its been my experience that people who are able to deliver well-positioned requests for help areseen as very strong individuals.When they demonstrate the humility(谦卑)to ask for help,they carn therespect of others.People who receive a heartfelt request for help are usually honored by the request.In turn we arestrengthened by the very
