We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we’ve become used to suddenly disappears.   36  , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I   37    see —or look at — on my way to work each morning.

For three years, no matter   38   the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On   39  days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime   40   out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses.   41  , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I   42   all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how   43   I counted on to see her each morning. You might say I   44   her.

“Did she have an accident? Something   45  ?” I thought to myself about her   46  . Now that she was gone, I felt I had   47   her. I began to realize that part of our   48   life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar   49  : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who

  50   walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 51 markers in the landscape of our lives. They add weight to our   52   of place and belonging.

Think about it.  53  , while walking to work, we mark where we are by   54   a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though   55  , person?

Children at a school in Italy have today begun an experiment to replace all their books with personal computers. The pupils involved will each be given a special laptop that contains their entire courses.

Until today, the Don Milani di Rivoli elementary school in central Turin was like any other. Children turned up, got out their books and pens and began the process of learning. But now, in what's being described as a unique experiment, 60 fifth-grade pupils and a number of third-graders, will start using computers only.

The mini-laptops, which run Windows software, all have a full curriculum programmed into them. The pupils will use the computers to do all their reading and writing. Security systems within the laptops mean the children's access to the Internet is strictly controlled. The machines weigh less than a kilogram, can be dropped from a height of 1.5 metres and are waterproof.

Instead of spending 700 dollars a year on books, the laptops, built by the Italian company Olidata, cost less than 400 dollars. One of the teachers involved in the scheme says that, for the first time, schools will be able to verify in a scientific way how a computer alone can improve the learning process. The experiment, which has the backing of parents, is due to last a year.

In other countries, such a programme is also being carried out. Venezuela is ordering one million low cost laptops for its school children. The machines will be based on the Intel Classmate laptop that has been designed for school children. Many see the deal as a blow for the One Laptop Per Child organization that has also been introducing its child- friendly machine to developing nations.

Which of the following is TRUE about the mini-laptop?

A. It is heavy for pupils to carry.         B. It can't be damaged by water.

C. It is one and a half meters high.              D. It is easily broken or damaged.

The pupils use the laptop to ____ in class.

A. learn their lessons as an aid

B. have a course named computer studies

C. surf the Internet mainly to find information

D. do what they used to do with books and pens

How much money can a pupil save by using the mini-laptop to replace all the books in a year?

A. Less than 400 dollars.                            B. More than 400 dollars.

C. More than 300 dollars.                   D. Less than 300 dollars.

Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?

A. It has been carried out for over one year.

B. It has already turned out to be a success.

C. The pupils' parents are against it in fact.

D. The pupils' parents are supportive to it.

Next time a customer comes to your office, offer him a cup of coffee. And when you're doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you're holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉)  of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions－those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh.

Psychologists have known that one person's perception (感知) of another's "warmth" is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either "warm" or "cold" is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a "cold" person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies' conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness. Classic studies by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth "mother" rather than one made of wire, even when the wire "mother" carried a food bottle. Harlow's work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills. Feelings of "warmth" and "coldness" in social judgments appear to be universal. Although no worldwide study has been done, Bargh says that describing people as "warm " or "cold" is common to many cultures, and studies have found those perceptions influence judgment in dozens of countries.

To test the relationship between physical and psychological warmth, Bargh conducted an experiment which involved 41 college students. A research assistant who was unaware of the study's hypotheses (假设) , handed the students either a hot cup of coffee, or a cold drink, to hold while the researcher filled out a short information form: The drink was then handed back. After that, the students were asked to rate the personality of "Person A" based on a particular description. Those who had briefly held the warm drink regarded Person A as warmer than those who had held the iced drink.

" We are grounded in our physical experiences even when we think abstractly," says Bargh.

A. adults should develop social skills         B. babies need warm physical contact

C. caregivers should be healthy adults        D. monkeys have social relationships

In Bargh’s experiment, the students were asked to _________ .

A. evaluate someone's personality                B. write down their hypotheses

We can infer from the passage that _________ .

A. abstract thinking does not come from physical experiences

C. physical temperature affects how we see others

D. capable persons are often cold to others

What would be the best title for the passage?
