Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,”he says, “is the common experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.Passage 2Several years ago, my company, which is a travel business, was looking for ways to expend. We were particularly interested in Southeast Asia, but had no experience doing business in that area. When we decided to expand, the first thing we did was assign one of our manager’s to do a feasibility study. The study was an essential part of the successful expansion we developed. The first step the manager took was to visit the places on our list: Hong Kong, Tailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. In each country or area he visited the sight that would interest our customers and checked carefully on the facilities available for tourists. In this way, he was quickly able to eliminate Burma and Brunei as practical areas for expansion.As the next step, he visited the tourism ministries of the remaining four places. At each ministry, he asked what kind of help was available in promoting tourism. This enabled him to save a lot of time on research.After that he estimated the cost and possible profit of expanding into each country. His findings were that the best order of development, from the point of view of costs and possible profit, was Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Indonesia. These findings were presented to our board, and it was decided that it would be too expensive to develop our business in all these areas at once. We therefore decided to enter the countries one by one in the order suggested in the manager’s report.Our manager did a very thorough job. He got the necessary information and did so in an efficient manner. Through his well-thought-out approach, we have been able to draw up a long-term plan for profitably expanding our business.Passage 3“Time is a problem for kids,” states a news report for a new Swiss watch. Children in some countries “learn time slowly” because “they don’t wear watches” and “parents don’t really know how to teach them time”. The kids grow up with this handicap and become adults—and then can’t get to work on time. Is there an answer to this problem? of course—it’s the Flik Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.The Flik Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10. The watch itself does not teach kids how to tell time, of course it merely “captures their imagination” by presenting the “hour” hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the “minute” hand as a tall blue boy named Flik. Flik points to corresponding “blue“ minutes on the dial, while Flak points to red hour numbers. The characters and the colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band. Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flik Flak, calls it Kidproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the wa shing machine.” The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25. Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing for kids to tell time; it’s quite another for them to be o n time.Passage 4Jack Billabong is a stockman. One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke andfallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”Passage 5Very soon a computer will be able to teach you English. It will also be able to translate any language for you too. It’s just one more incredible result of the development of microprocessors -- those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as "silicon chips". So give up going to classes, stop buying more textbooks and relax. In a couple of years you won't need the international language of English.Already Texas Instruments in the United States is developing an electronic translation machine. Imagine a Spanish secretary, for example, who wants to type a letter from the boss to a businessman in Sweden. All he or she will have to do is this: first type the letter in Spanish. The letter will appear on a television screen. After a few seconds the translated letter will appear on another television screen in Stockholm in perfect Swedish. And that's not all. Soon a computer will be able to teach you English, if you really want to learn the language. You'll sit in front of a television screen and practise endless structures. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It will even talk to you because the silicon chips can change electrical impulses into sounds. And clever programmers can predict the responses you, the learner, are likely to make.So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if after all that, you still can't speak English you can always use the translating machine. In a few years, therefore, perhaps there will be no need for BBC Modern English, or BBC English by Radio programmes -- no more textbooks or teachers of English. Instead of buying an exciting new textbook, the computer will ask you to replace it with micro-processor one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four. Fast, reliable and efficient language learning and translating facilities will be available to you. Think of that no more tears or embarrassing moments. One little problem is that a computer can't laugh yet -- but the scientists are working on it. Happy learning!Passage 6The food we seems to have strong effects on our health. Although science has made great steps in making food more fit to eat., it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. The food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In the 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates ( 硝酸盐), commonly used to preserve color in additives ( 添加剂) remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know whether things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry ( 家禽), and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are applied to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.。
