17.Once,a professor kept a chair at a certain distance on the stage in front of the audience.He started his lecture,then pointing to the middle row,those who were sitting exactly in front of the chair.He asked,"How many legs can you see the chair has?But answer me exactly what you observe,not supposing(認(rèn)為) that the chair has four legs?"
The first person of the middle row replied,"Two,because the other two legs were hidden behind the front legs."The professor then asked the same question to the left side viewers.The answer came,"Three.Here,one back leg was hidden behind one of its front side legs.So,only three were visible."The same question was repeated to the right side and the extreme corner side audience.The answers he received were"Three"and"Four"respectively(各自).
The professor then said,"Look!All of you know that the chair has four legs,but when I asked you to answer me exactly what you are observing from your angle,your answer varied.But do you think it is possible?So what does it mean?We suppose it as the differ ent numbers according to our perception (觀察力),the angle from which we view.So,what I mean to say is that our perception is not always absolutely correct or true.The same thing happens to everybody,when he/she judges others from his/her viewpoints.Kindly,take your time,but judge others correctly.

分析 教授在講臺上放了一把椅子,他讓觀眾根據(jù)白己的實際觀察而不是根據(jù)自己的經(jīng)驗來回答,處于不同位置的觀眾給出了不同的答案,由此告訴人們一個道理:看待問題的時候不要根據(jù)自己的直覺,有時候直覺也會造成錯誤.
解答 21.B細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第一段He asked,"How many legs can you see the chair has?這句話,告訴我們一開始教授給觀眾提了一個問題,即"你能看到椅子有多少條腿",故答案為B.
22.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段The first person of the middle row replied,"Two,because the other two legs were hidden behind the front legs可知,坐在中間位置的觀眾回答椅子有兩條腿,故答案為A.
23.A判斷推理題.在文章第二段不同的觀眾給 了不同的答案,The first person of the middle row replied,中間位置的觀眾; the left side viewers坐在左邊的觀眾;the right side and the extreme corner side audience坐在右邊以及拐角處的觀眾,所以得出坐在不同位置的人給出了不一樣的答案,故答案為A.
24.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)文章最后一句The same thing happens to everybody,when he/she judges others from his/her viewpoints.Kindly,take your time,but judge others correctly可知,教授通過一個實驗讓人明白了一個道理,看問題角度不同得到的結(jié)論也不一樣,所以教授應(yīng)該是一個很睿智的人,故答案為C.
點評 閱讀人物傳記,需要從文中整體了解人物,其次細(xì)看文章中關(guān)于人物經(jīng)歷或觀點的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容
