17、 Technology is supposed to make our lives easier,allowing us todo things more quickly and efficiently.But too often it seems to make things harder.This increase in complexity,often called feature creep,costs consumers time,but it also costs business money.Product returns in the U.S.cost a hundred bi

18、llion dollars a year,and a recent study by Elke den Ouden,of Philips Electronics,found that at least half of returned products have nothing wrong with them.Consumers just couldnt figure out how to use them.Companies now know a great deal about problems of usability and consumer behavior,so why is it

19、 that feature creep proves unstoppable?In part,fieature creep is the product of the so-called internal-audience problem:the people who design and sell product are not the ones who buy and use them,and what engineers and marketers think is important is not necessarily whats best for consumers.The eng

20、ineers tend not to notice when more options make a product less usable.And marketing and sales departments see each additional feature as a new selling point,and anew way to attract customers.You might think,then,that companies could avoid fieature creep by just paying attention to what customers re

21、ally want.But thats where the trouble begins,because although consumers find overloaded gadgets（配件）unmanageable,they also find them attractive.It turns out that when we look at a new product in a store we tend to think that the more features there are,the better.It is only once we get the product ho

22、me and try to use it that we realize the virtues of simplicity.It seems strange that we dont expect feature tiredness and thus avoid it.But,as numerous studies have shown,people are not,in general,good at predicting what will make them happy in the future.As a result,we will pay more for more featur

23、es because we systematically overestimate how often well use them.We also overestimate our ability to figure out how a complicated product works.The fact that buyers want bells and whistles but users want something clear and simple creates an unusual problem for companies.A product that doesnt have

24、enough features may fail to catch our eye in the store.But a product with too many features is likely to annoy consumers.8.What does the first paragraph mainly discuss?A.The benefits brought by the advanced technology.B.The recent study conducted by Elke den Ouden.C.The loss caused by the feature cr

26、e people in marketing and sales.D.The engineers will not pay attention to the quality of the product 10.What do we know about the buyers in paragraph 4?A.They are deeply convinced that all the products work in simple way.B.They are fed up with the more and more features of the products.C.They are to

28、Outweighs Complexity D Japan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer.Recently,the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6,000 residents(居民)tested.However,the frozen urine samples(尿样)are not tested in conventional ways.Instead,Professor Masao Miyashita and hi

29、s team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease.Though the study is still in its early stages,Miyashita is thrilled with the results.He said,“In our research so far,cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer

30、with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”Researchers have known about the animals superior sensory skills for decades.However,their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989,after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma(恶性黑色素瘤)on a patients leg in London.Since then,scientists

31、from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise,quiet,and perhaps even a little shy.The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to

32、learn any trick by rewarding them with treats!However,it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the“cancer scent(气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds(有机化合物)in the human body.Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer,people with other

33、 diseases,and patients with no health issues,Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer,they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.Successful as they may be,experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests.For one,it takes about seven years and costs as much

34、 as$45,000 to train a single dog.Klaus Hackner,a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria,is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone.Patients,therefore,have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disea
