Not long before, my daughter's shoes were scratched with a knife．She burst into 36 ．I took them to the shoemaker to get them 37 ．
The young apprentice （學(xué)徒） glanced at the opening and said, " 38 I can do except replace the upper．" His master looked at them and said to me, "If you 39 me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes．" K^S*5U.C#O%
I was 40 and asked why．
He explained, "As if the openings were made 41 for the sake of special style and reuse．"
Two days later I found there were indeed more scratches on 42 shoe, but all the openings were patched （打補(bǔ)�。� by soft red leather with edges sewed by thick thread, 43 more unique and interesting than ever．I couldn't help but 44 the master's skill．
Another time, my wife's sister's white blouse had been torn, leaving a large opening on the back．My wife 45 the blouse carefully, and then said, "Let me take it 46 _ and mend it．"
Seeing the blouse again, I was shocked: all the torn parts had been sewed up by thin and 47 thread and they 48 a look of ice crystal （冰晶） hanging from a winter's branch． 49 , she had attached a snowman and a cabin made of flowery cotton rags onto the shirt．I 50 with praise, "It's just as beautiful as a piece of 51 !"
"I was inspired by that craftsman．Patches are supposed to be 52 , but a skillful craftsman can make it take on a kind of perfection," replied my wife．
Her words inspired me even more: Perfection is 53 to achieve in everything; Patches are unavoidable, so is human's life．Since you can't 54 the existence of wound, you should not expect people's 55 by exposing the wound, which reveals nothing meaningful．

“It could happen extremely soon if everything went on well.”says Mark Westhusin , a professor leading a dog cloning team . Most experts put successful dog cloning a year to five years down the road . The cost is bound to be expensive at first , but it would eventually drop to a few thousand dollars.
Since Dolly , the sheep which was first cloned in 1997 ,cattle ,goats ,mice and monkeys have been cloned in labs . Pets are likely to be next.

When several different people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions (感知，認(rèn)知)：
(1)Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education, and personal experiences.
(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus (聚焦) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (標(biāo)準(zhǔn)) to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.
(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of out own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽視) the stimulus- “He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting. ”
We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information- “All kids (孩子) get into mischief (頑皮) . Taking a book from the bookstore isn’t such a big deal. ” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information-”It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…
1.The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.
|
A．the abilities of one’s auditory (聽) and visual (視) sensors |
|
B．cultural background and personal experiences |
|
C．experiences one learns from others |
|
D．critical measures taken by other people |
2.While observing a particular person, ______.
|
A．one is likely to take all aspects (方面) into consideration |
|
B．one pays more attention to his/her advantages |
|
C．children often differ from grown-ups in perception |
|
D．one tends to choose certain cues (提示) to look for |
3.Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because ______.
|
A．their measuring yardsticks are not the same |
|
B．either of them may be slow to catch information |
|
C．the time for observation is not long enough |
|
D．each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions |
4.The word “stimulus ” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.
|
A．something attractive |
B．selective perception |
|
C．contradictory information |
D．shoplifting |

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to __16__.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph __17_ we realized we were __18_. Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand-new $20 bill. I was so __19_ because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on __20__ seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. __21__ I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I __22_ I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just __23__ out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience (良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t __24__ over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and __25__ for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I __26__ to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream for __27__ that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why not you use the change __28__ the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so __29__ of my cash now. For the next two years, whenever I was __30__ of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it…”
I have learned two things from this __31__. Maybe I was a fool for __32__ in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a __33__ pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away with what you have done, your conscience will __34__ up with you.
This reflects the saying, “Coward (懦夫) dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “__35__” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only one, or maybe twice.

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科醫(yī)生） and part of it taken out． Today， however， we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation． The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．
Long ago， operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything． The sick man had to be held down(壓制，控制) on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him． He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off， and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．
Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “l(fā)aughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it．Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．
Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth．Wells felt no pain at all．
As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．
Wells tried again，but this time he gave too much of the gas，and the man died．Wells never forgot this terrible event．
