　　Mr. Black worked in an office in London, but he lived in the country and came to work by train every day. The station was not far from his office, and Mr. Black always walked from his office to the station in the evening, because he liked walking. He always went along the street. Every evening he passed a poor man there. The man sat at the side of the road and sold matches (火柴), and there was always an old dog near him. There was a piece of paper around the dog' s neck, and the words I AM BLIND were on the paper.

　　Mr. Black was a kind man. He always stopped and said some kind words to the poor man and gave him a little money, but he did not take any of his matches.

　　One day Mr. Black had a lot of work in his office and was very late. He said, “My train always leaves at five past six, and it is ten to six now. I'm not going to talk to the poor man today, and I' m not going to give him any money.” He came to the man and his dog, but he did not stop and did not say anything. He walked quickly to the station. But the poor man stood up quickly, ran after him and said, “Why don't you give me any money today? You're always kind to me. Give me a little money today, too. I'm a poor man.”

　　Mr. Black stopped and looked at him. “You are a blind man. How did you follow me?” he said. The poor man said, “No, I'm not blind. My dog is.”

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene（场景）, but each perceives（察觉）something different about it.

　　 Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket（罚单）. Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow（拉着）. For perception（感知） is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

　　 Many psychologists（心理学家） today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

1.Perceiving is an action that takes place _____.

A．in our eyes

B．only when we think very hard about something

C．only under the direction of a psychologist

D．in every person’s mind

2.People perceive different things about the same scene because ____.

A．they see different things.

B．they can not agree about things

C．some have better eyesight

D．none of these

3.Psychologists study perception by _____.

A．setting up many experiments.

B．asking each other what they see.

C．looking out of windows.

D．Studying people’s eyes.

4.The best title for this article is _____.

A．How We See

B．Learning About Our Minds Through Science

C．What Psychologists Perceive

D．How To Become An Experimental Psychologist

 

E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication between patients and doctors, according to one expert.

“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes Dr. Dada Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.

　　According to Pal, nearly forty percent of American patients say they have used e-mail to communicate with a doctor.

　　He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to two percent of doctors in the united States offer e-mail service.

　　Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point, patient to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It's said that more than ten thousand healthoriented websites already exist now.

　　However, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care—one for Internet“haves” and another for the “have-nots”

　　But Pal points out that“ by the year 2000 nearly every library will offer （Internet and e-mail） services in the United States, allowing even low-income patients to use such means.” Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical e-mail.

　　“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about payment for the time they spent,” he explains, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others.“But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.

　　E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “Patients can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful, than face-to-face dialogues with their doctors.”
