19、Aiken studied anumber of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years.Each couple provided fourphotographsone photo of each partner at the time of their marriage andanother photo of eachpartner twenty-five or more years later.All background was cut from thephotos to remove anyclues.Th

20、e photos were then displayed in groups:a random grouping ofthe persons at the time oftheir marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who tookphotographs later.Some testees were asked to pick out the partners.They failed totallywith the first group.Theirjudgements were no better than c

21、hance.But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years afterthe marriage,the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike.Onereason has something todo with imitation.One person tends to copy or do the same a

22、s someoneelse without knowing it.He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of theirloved ones.“Anotherpossible reason,”he says,“is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency forpeople who have the same life experience to change their faces insimilar ways.For example

23、,if acouple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences,their faces arelikely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of_.A.imitating the couples life B.grouping the couples againC.leaving no trace for the testees D.giving the testees more chances22.

27、ourse Ill respectyou in the morning”,and(3)“It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies,the worst is the third.Its the onlyone that can never be true.Today,if a bank statement cheats you out of$900 that way,you know what theclerk is sure to say,”Itwas a computer error.”Nonsense.The com

28、puter is reporting nothing morethan what the clerktyped into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in thegrocery store shows that anitem costs more than it actually does.If the innocent buyer points outthe mistake,the checker,bagger,and manager all come together and offer

29、 the familiar explanation:“It was a computeerror.”It wasnt,of course that computerized cashier is really nothing morethan an electric event.Theeye reads the Universal Product Codechat bar of black and white linesin a corner of thepackageand then checks the code against a price list stored in memory.

30、If the price list is right,youll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each daythat is,somebody sits ata keyboard and types in theprices.If the price they type in is too high,there are only twoexplanations:carelessness ordishonesty.But somehow“a computer error”is supposed to exc

31、useeverything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the commonmisperception that huge,moderncomputers are electric brain with“artificial intelligence.”At somepoint there might be a machinewith intelligence but none exists today.The smartest computer on Earthright now is no moreintellige

32、nt than your average pen.At this point in the development ofcomputers,the only thingany machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26.Of the three lies,the one about computer is the worst because thecomputer itself _.A.says nonsense B.cheats customersC.cannot make the error D.does not ad

36、ictorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in ruralEngland might conclude that the only village tradesmen stillflourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or sellingantiques to visitors.Nevertheless,this would really be a false impression.On the surface,there has been a decline ofvill

37、age commerce,but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocers shop,for example,is actually expanding in spite ofthe competition fromsupermarkets in the nearest town.Women sensibly prefer to go there andexchange the local newswhile doing their shopping,instead of queuing up at a supermarket.Andthe

38、 grocer knows wellthat personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town,but he willdeliver anything at any time.Hisassistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in theirlunch hour to take a piece ofcheese to an old retired woman who

39、 sent her order by word of mouth witha friend who happenedto be passing.The richer customers telephone their shopping lists andthe goods are on theirdoorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for somecommodity outside the usualstock and the grocer,a red faced-figure,instantly obtains
