閱讀理解

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(場景), but each perceives(察覺)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(罰單). 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(拉著). For perception(感知) is the mind’s interpretation of what the senses—in this case our eyes—tell us.

   Many psychologists(心理學家) 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.a(chǎn)sking 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

閱讀理解。
     Almost everyone knows about the Chupa Chups, the lollipop*. And people often talk about its
interesting advertisements. Do you know, however, it was invented more than half a century ago by a man
called Bernat?
     In the early 1950s, Bernat worked for an apple jam* factory. After he came up with the idea of making
lollipops, the people who offered money to the company left. Bernat took over the company in 1958 and
named it Chupa Chups. He built the machines and sold candy on a wooden stick for one peseta* each.
     Bernat got the idea of a "candy with a stick" from a mother who complained a lot as her child got dirty
hands when eating candy. Bernat felt that at that time, candy was not designed with the main customers-
children-in mind. Later, shopkeepers were told to put the lollipops near the cash register* where children
could reach easily, instead of behind it.
     The Chupa Chups company was a success. In five years, Bernat's lollipops were being sold at 300,000 to
other countries. When they were first created, the lollipop sticks were made of wood, but then they were
changed to plastic sticks because there was too little wood in Spain. After the end of the Francisco Franco
dictatorship* (1939-1975), the company went international. In the 1970s the colorful lollipops appeared in
Southeast Asian countries, such as Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia, as well as Australia. In the 1980s it
went to the European and North American markets, and in the 1990s to most Asian countries. In China they
were made by Tatagum in Panyu, near Guangzhou. As of 2003, 4 billion lollipops a year were sold to 150
countries. The company has 2000 workers, makes 90% of its sales abroad, and has a turnover* of 
?500,000,000.
      In 1991, Bernat's son Xavier took over the "Chupa Chups" and made his father enjoy the rest of his life.
1. Who was the lollipop invented by?
A. Bernat.
B. Xavier.
C. Some kids.
D. A mother.
2. What does the underlined phrase take over in the first and fifth paragraphs mean?
A. 毀壞
B. 接管
C. 背叛
D. 收拾
3. Why does the writer use so many numbers in paragraph 4?
A. Because the writer likes Chupa Chups very much.
B. Because the writer wants to tell us that he has been to many countries.
C. Because the writer wants to show that the Chupa Chups company was a success.
D. Because the writer wants to tell us people all over the world know about Chupa Chups.
4. What's the best title for this article?
A. Kids Love Chupa Chups
B. A Clever Man Called Bernat
C. How The Lollipop Was Invented
D. The History Of Chupa Chups
