填空题Robert Rosenthal
Born in 1933, Robert Rosenthal dashed over the academic hurdles in record time. He received his B. A. at twenty years of age and his Ph.D. by the time he was twenty-three, both at the University of California at Los Angeles. He then spent brief periods at UCLA, Ohio State, and the University of North Dakota. His work
21
increasing notice throughout the professional world. The idea of the self-fulfilling
22
was not new to psychology. What was new, however, was Rosenthal"s
23
to demonstrate how often this phenomenon was
24
the work of the psychologists themselves. His
25
were almost immediately
26
. And, as if to create ore controversy among psychologists, since his early work had not
27
been replicated, the department of social relations at Harvard University
28
halfway across the country to North Dakota and offered Rosenthal a Harvard
29
, all by the time he was twenty-nine years old.
30
the move to the East and more time for research, Rosenthal sifted into
31
gear. He not only replicated his original findings but began to produce
32
on his important concept in a wide variety of areas. As
33
in the text, each time one of his studies is criticized, he has been able to
34
the critics not with rhetoric but rather with more research data to
35
his position. The controversy itself, of course, continues. The
36
outcome has been to produce more evidence, more sophisticated research
37
, and thus more comprehensive information for educational psychology. In
38
, he has now established the importance of nonverbal channels as the meaning of communicating expectations to others.
填空题Our Perception
Most of us assume that our eyes send an accurate copy of the external world along nerve pathways to the brain, where it is projected on a kind of screen. Yet there is a good deal of evidence that our impressions are not simply mental photographs of what is going on "out there." Rather, our perceptions are filtered through the lens of our previous experiences, attitudes and beliefs. This is true of even the simplest kinds of perception. For example, when a car appears on the
1
your eyes send an image of a miniature automobile to your
2
, an image that grows larger as the car approaches. What you
3
, however, is a normal-sized car, because you know that cars do not
4
and contract. If the car is yours and you know it"s
5
, you will perceive it as blue whether it"s in bright sunlight, dark shadow, or under a yellow
6
.
In much the same way, we adjust our social perceptions to
7
what we know—or think we know. An old
8
illustrates this. A man and his son are in an accident. The
9
is killed; the boy is rushed to the hospital for emergency
10
. The surgeon comes into the operating room, looks at the boy, and
11
, "I can"t operate. That"s my son." Who is the surgeon? The boy"s mother. Many people are
12
by this riddle because they expect a doctor (especially a surgeon) to be a
13
.
All of us have this tendency to interpret communications in the
14
of our own ideas and beliefs. Sometimes, different people may
15
different messages in the same communication. Take the TV
16
All in the Family
. Students viewers who had been identified
17
highly prejudiced saw the main character, a bigoted white man
18
Archie Bunker, as a likeable grouch who won most of his
19
with members of his family. Students who were low in prejudice thought
20
Archie lost these arguments and that the whole point of the show was to ridicule his prejudices.
In short, our perceptions of the social world are anything but accurate copies of what is going on outside. We pick and choose, according to our expectations, and we fit what we see into a mental image of reality which we have already formed. In large part, what we "see" is determined by where we stand in the social system. Ask a fourth-grader, a teacher, a principal, a janitor, and a parent to describe the same school, and you will get five different pictures. Each has different information, and each looks at the same "facts" in a different way. Ask a man and wife to describe their marriage, and you might not know they were talking about the same family. "His" marriage and "her" marriage may be quite different. What is common sense to a man may be nonsense to a woman!
填空题World Water Shortage
A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world"s people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A private American organization called
1
Action International did the new study. It says
2
than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people
3
enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight
4
. Most of the countries are in Africa or the
5
East.
P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says
6
the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people
7
lack water. At least 18 more countries are
8
to have severe water problems. The demand
9
water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth
10
the same.
Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is
11
faster than in other parts of the world. He says
12
growth in these countries will continue to
13
.
The report says lack of water in the future may
14
in several problems. It may increase health
15
. Lack of water often means drinking
16
not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems
17
over the world because of diseases, such as cholera,
18
are carried in water. Lack of water may also result
19
more international conflict. Countries may have to
20
for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.
填空题Bertrand Russell—The Analysis of Mind (Truth and
Falsehood) On the features which distinguish
knowledge from accuracy of response in general, not much can be said from a
behaviourist point of view without referring to purpose. But the necessity of
SOMETHING besides accuracy of response may be brought out by the {{U}}
{{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}consideration: Suppose two persons, of whom
one believed {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}the other disbelieved,
and disbelieved whatever the other {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}.
So far as accuracy and sensitiveness of response alone are concerned, {{U}}
{{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}would be nothing to choose between these two
persons. A thermometer {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}went down for
warm weather and up for cold might be just as {{U}} {{U}} 21
{{/U}} {{/U}}as the usual kind; and a person who always believes falsely is
just as {{U}} {{U}} 22 {{/U}} {{/U}}an instrument as a person
who always believes truly. The {{U}} {{U}} 23 {{/U}} {{/U}}and
practical difference between them would be that the one {{U}} {{U}}
24 {{/U}} {{/U}}always believed falsely would quickly come to a bad end.
This {{U}} {{U}} 25 {{/U}} {{/U}}once more that accuracy of
response to stimulus does not alone {{U}} {{U}} 26 {{/U}}
{{/U}}knowledge, but must be reinforced by appropriateness, i. e. suitability for
{{U}} {{U}} 27 {{/U}} {{/U}}one's purpose. This applies even in
the apparently simple {{U}} {{U}} 28 {{/U}} {{/U}}of answering
questions: if the purpose of the answers is to deceive, their {{U}}
{{U}} 29 {{/U}} {{/U}}, not their truth, will be evidence of
knowledge. The proportion of the {{U}} {{U}} 30 {{/U}} {{/U}}of
appropriateness with accuracy in the definition of knowledge is difficult; it
seems that both enter in, but that appropriateness is only required as regards
the general type of response, not as regards each individual instance.
