The fol

18、lowings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions(感知,認(rèn)識(shí)):(1)Each persons 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 wh

19、atve 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 primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the s

20、ame standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.(3)Sometimes we see only what we want to see or dont see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviou

21、sly more difficult when contradictory information is particularly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore the stimulus“Hes basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting(入店行竊).” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information “All kids get into mischief(頑皮). Taking a book fr

22、om a bookstore isnt such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information- “It wasnt shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”26.

23、ersonal experiences C. the experience one learns from others D. critical measures taken by other people27.

Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because _.A. they follow different standardsB. either of them may be slow to catch informationC. the time for observation is not long enoughD. each of them uses different

25、 language to express his/her impressions29. The underlined word “stimulus” in Paragraph 4 refers to _.A. something attractive B. selective perception C. contradictory information D. shoplifting30.

26、. facts can be twisted or totally ignored C. importance of the contradictory information can be overrated (估計(jì)過(guò)高)D. misbehaved children may not be punishedBOne year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mothers Day, as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that Mother had made

27、 for us. After breakfast we had arranged, as a surprise, to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country. Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that, because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.But on the very morning of the day, we changed the plan a little, because

28、it occurred to Father that it would be even better to take Mother fishing. As the car was hired and paid for, we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are. As Father said, if you just go driving without object, you have a sense of aimlessness, but if you are going to fish

29、 there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment. So we all felt it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose . Father had just got a fishing rod the day before, which he said mother could use if she wanted to. Only Mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fis

30、h herself. So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry, though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner. Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed. It was plain that we couldnt all get in. Father said th

31、at he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden. He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench for the garbage, which would save hiring a man, and so he said that hed stay home;he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not ha

32、d a real holiday for three years stand in our way. He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him. But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would have stayed and helped the maid

33、get dinner, only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this. But they said that Mother had only to say the word and theyd gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldnt have been any use in preparing

38、combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always

39、a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(擁抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too. The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn t

40、o accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.

41、 for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents.
