       Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.

       When James was a teenager ,his father   36   him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.

       He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the   38   had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the   39   were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying ,   40   a thickened air ,and the workers,

  41   the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43  . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him , too.

       During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But    46  there was barely enough  47  for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.

       Thus , for James, it was a   48  . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought    50  to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to    51   money off the seat of others.

       “What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.

       “I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like  53   , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the    54  of blood.

       “What will you do?”

55  , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

       Some years ago, a Miami woman walking through an office building noticed two men standing together.Several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building.The police determined that the woman was the only witness and could possibly describe them.However, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear.Several days later, psychologist Ronald Fisher was brought in to obtain a more complete account from the woman.His interview produced a breakthrough—the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects.The important information enabled the police lo arrest the suspect and close the case.

       The police asked Fisher for help because of his rich knowledge in cognitive interview, a kind of memory - rebuilding process.Memory researchers have found that people trying to remember a past event often only recall part of the relevant information.Human memory is selective and it is often distorted by stress.But a person's accurate recall of an event or understanding of a question can be improved using specific interviewing techniques.The "cognitive interview" was developed in the late 1990s.It encourages the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions.The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions.The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different perspectives (角度) .

       The cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events; reporting everything that conies to mind about those events, no matter how broken it is retelling events in a variety of time orders, such as from beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward; and adopting different perspectives while recalling events.

       Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they obtain nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same.It is proved that cognitive interviews are quite important tools in improving the accuracy and completeness of witness testimony (证词).
