Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already   21   with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake    22   to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our   23     of his personality.   24  , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually   25    and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good   26   . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as    27   when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.

As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an   28     high opinion of their own worth, while making things  29   for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being   30   , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.

26. A. comment                   B. reply                        C. effect                       D. opportunity

27. A. average                      B. excellent                  C. funny                       D. similar
