Can you believe your eyes? A recent experiment suggests that the answer to that question may depend on your age.

Martin Doherty, a psychologist at the University of Stirling in Scotland, led the team of scientists. In this experiment, Doherty and his team tested the perception(观察力) of some people, using pictures of some orange circles. The researchers showed the same pictures to two groups of people. The first group included 151 children aged 4 to 10, and the second group included 24 adults aged 18 to 25.

The first group of pictures showed two circles alone on a white background. One of the circles was larger than the other, and these people were asked to identify the larger one. Four-year-olds identified the correct circle 79 percent of the time. Adults identified the correct circle 95 percent of the time.

Next, both groups were shown a picture where the orange circles, again of different sizes, were surrounded by gray circles. Here's where the trick lies in. In some of the pictures, the smaller orange circle was surrounded by even smaller gray circles —making the orange circle appear larger than the other orange circle, which was the real larger one. And the larger orange circle was surrounded by even bigger gray circles—so it appeared to be smaller than the real smaller orange circle.

When young children aged 4 to 6 looked at these tricky pictures, they weren't fooled—they were still able to find the bigger circle with roughly the same accuracy as before. Older children and adults, on the other hand, did not do as well. Older children often identified the smaller circle as the larger one, and adults got it wrong most of the time.

As children get older, Doherty said, their brains may develop the ability to identify visual context. In other words, they will begin to process the whole picture at once: the tricky gray circles, as well as the orange circle in the middle. As a result, they're more likely to fall for this kind of visual trick.

1.Why are younger children not fooled?_____________.

A. Because their brain can hardly notice related things together.

B. Because older people are influenced by their experience.

C. Because people's eyes become weaker as they grow older.

D. Because they are smarter than older children and adults.

2.Doherty and his team of scientists did an experiment to evaluate_____________.

A. children's and adults' eye-sight

B. people's ability to see accurately

C. children's and adults' brains

D. the influence of people's age

3.When asked to find the larger circle,_____________.

A. children at 6 got it wrong 79 % of the time with no gray ones around

B. only adults over 18 got it right 95% of the time with gray ones around

C. children at 4 got it right about 79 % of the time with gray ones around

D. adults got it right most of the time with gray ones around

4.According to the passage, we can know that_____________.

A. a smaller orange circle appears bigger on a white background

B. an orange circle appears bigger than a gray one of the same size

C. a circle surrounded by other circles looks bigger than its real size

D. a circle surrounded by bigger ones looks smaller than its real size

Shake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U．S．The restaurants are not“fast food”．They are known as“fast casual”．

Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat．This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially．In the last quarter of 2014，McDonald’s net income dropped by about $300 million．The January earnings report brought more bad news．Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expecteD． Whi le McDonald’s is struggling to get their customers back，Shake．

Bonnie Riggs，a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’restaurant habits for almo st 30 years．She says one reason why Americans like fast casu al food is that it’s new．It’s creative，it’s something different and people like to try new things．Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year．Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants，like McDonald’s．Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits，but it has developed fast．Just as Ms．Riggs says，“It’s growing by leaps and bounds，because they meet consumers’needs．They know it’s being prepared while they wait，it’s fresh，quality food，good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices．”

Realizing your dreams is not a matter of possibility; it’s a matter of motivating yourself to focus on the right things．You know you should be doing something, but sometimes you just don’t feel like doing anything．This discouraging situation can last a long time if you don’t head it off and take action．Here are some daily motivation tricks that might work for you.

1.________

This is by far the most important tip in this article, because in the end, all of the other tips in the world won’t make as much of a difference as this simple and timeless instruction: Sit down and get a move on! Do you feel the push-back of laziness? Reading more about motivation won’t help．Reviewing your to-do lists won’t help．Only doing actually helps get everything going．So stop thinking about how hard the task is going to be or how long it’s going to take you．Not starting is failing．Tell yourself, “As soon as I get going, I’ll feel more motivated.” And you’ll realize it’s not nearly as hard as you thought it would be.

2.________

Be aware of your self-talk and stay confident．You have the choice to replace negative self-talk with a more encouraging and friendly voice．A voice that will consider your aim as not just a possibility, but a probability; A voice that does not look at the possibility of success before taking action, but rather uses self-belief as its driving force; A voice that all things are possible to those who commit to their dream.

Tell yourself over and over again that you can do it．See what effect it has．Persist with this kind of positivity and eventually you’ll feel better about whatever it is you want to get done, and you’ll even start to fool yourself into believing it’s true.

3._______

There is no better way to recharge yourself for improvement than spending time with someone who motivates you．They are smart and can always encourage you to be better．Study their qualities．Study their habits．Surround yourself with them, talk to them, learn from them; they are already living and producing results at a level you admire and expect to．Compare stories, successes and failures．Let their inner light guide you.

4.________

You have made so much progress, you just don’t realize it．Open your eyes and give yourself credit for all that you have done．Think about it．Write down your past successes．Consider using a journal to keep track of them．You’ll probably be pleasantly surprised when you review your results．It’s a great motivator to see how much you have improved and how far you have come．Be happy with your progress and move on.

5.________

Do not judge unsuccessful attempts and mistakes as an indication of your future potential, but as part of the growth process．Something does not have to end well for it to have been one of the most valuable experiences of a lifetime．When times get tough, take a deep breath, and know that most great things come when you least expect it．Being defeated is a temporary condition; giving up is what makes it permanent．And most people that gave up didn’t realize how close they were to success．Push through!

A．Get started!

B．Forget your failures.

C．Find and use your positive voice.

D．Think about how far you have come.

E．Spend time with people who inspire you.

F．Accept failure as a positive learning experience.
