7、 brother, Michael and I are crazy about houses. On Aug 1, 2016, I was driving through the Northern Neck of Virginia with him. We had found an abandoned Italianate farmhouse with weeds up to our waist. When admiring the property my brother rolled up the unlocked garagedoor. “Holy smokes!” There sat t

8、his Mercedes. Seeing the number 6.9 on its back, I immediately recognized this to be a rare and unique find.The cars door was unlocked and in the glovebox, I found insurance papers. It turned out that the owner was a dead country doctor.It took me a year to find his widows(寡妇的) address, in Richmond.

9、 Twice I made the two-hour drive just to knock on her door, striking out both times. On the third try her neighbor was outside and I was able to get the widows phone number.I logged approximately 25 voice mails,and still nothing.It was, I thought, just bad luck. I called one last time and heard a vo

10、ice: “Hello?” From that point on, we struck up a friendship.In July 2018, two years after finding the car, I was ready to buy it from her. We met in the middle somewhere around what a new Toyota might cost. Still,the night before, I called my brother and said, “I am getting cold feet.” What was I do

11、ing buying an old Mercedes? He said, “You are buying that great car. And I promise you, the friendship you will make as a result will make this car worth every penny.” And he was right.4Why did the author go to the Northern Neck?ATo visit his brother.BTo check the house.CTo buy the unique car.DTo en

14、 a good bargain buying it.Do you ever pull your phone out of your pocket, thinking it is vibrating (振动), only to find that it isnt?This phenomenon, which scientists call “phantom (幻觉的) phone vibration”, is very common.Around 80% of people surveyed say they have imagined their phones vibrating when t

15、hey were actually still.So, what leads to this universal behavior? According to the BBC, the explanation lies in your brains ability to discover signals from the outside world.When your phone is in your pocket, there are two possible states: It is either vibrating or not.Meanwhile, you also have two

16、 possible states of mind: the judgment that the phone is brating, or that it isnt. Ideally, you match the four states correctly. However, sometimes your brain decides that the consequences of missing a call are more serious than a “false alarm”. Therefore, you become more sensitive to vibrations so

17、that you dont miss anything.This is just like the fire alarm in your homeit can be annoying when it goes off in response to just a tiny bit of smoke. But thats a small price to pay compared to a fire really breaking out because the alarm fails to alert you. Now, you might still ask, why cant our bra

18、ins just make every judgment correctly without being too sensitive to false signals? The answer is that your brain bears a heavy burden every day. “You get a large amount of sensory information thats coining from your eyes, ears and skin, and you cant deal with all that information all the time,” Mi

19、chael Rothberg, a researcher at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield, US, told Live Science.For example, the rustling (沙沙声) of clothing or the growling (咕咕声youre your stomach may both lead your brain to believe that they come from the vibration of your phoneit is like trying to hear your name bein

24、ll.DWe should think of the vibration carefully before we make correct judgments.Visual language is a form of communication that uses visual elements (元素) as opposed to formal written language to convey meaning or an idea. Graphicacy, the ability to communicate visually, is considered as important as

25、 literacy and numeracy, the abilities to read and count. Some people are visual thinkers, using that part of the brain that is emotional and creative to process and give meaning to information. Visual communication can find expression in paintings, drawings, symbols, or simply lines and shapes arran

26、ged for a specific effect.Art is an example of visual language. A painting or sculpture can convey ideas or arouse specific kinds of emotional responses. It may also express ideas about historical events, abstract concepts, or simply be about the way certain shapes or forms “work” together or create

27、 a certain effect on the mind. Some researchers believe that different parts of the brain respond in unique ways to colors and shapes.Pictograms (象形文字) and ideograms (表意文字) are types of visual language. Pictograms are pictures that are similar to what they represent. They are still used today to com

28、municate information. Many people around the world are familiar with the pictograms indicating such things as airports, public facilities, and non-smoking areas indicated by a cigarette in a circle with a line across it. Ideograms are pictures that represent ideas and can often be understood without

29、 the aid of written language. Some scholars track modern alphabets to pictures. Letters are actually ancient pictures, and words are a series of pictures. Modern alphabet letters are not only phonetic (语音的) symbols but are based on ancient religious images and symbols.Musivisual communication is als

30、o a part of visual language. The term refers to music created specifically to improve the visual experience of film. It corresponds to the images being seen on the screen, and the music arouses a sense of terror, fear, or other emotions. Most movie goers understand the language of musical clues show

34、s we wear. All of these logos are designed to attract our attention. _16_ However, recently research supports the idea that remembering what a logo looks like is a very difficult task.Researchers gave 85 students a simple assignment to draw the Apple logo purely from memory. Surprisingly, only one s

35、tudent in the study could accurately draw the logo from memory. _17_ Researchers have developed a theory that they think might help to explain this blind spot in our memories.Logos are typically designed to be simple and easy to recognize with a quick glance. Yet the frequent exposure to these logos

36、 can actually make our brains overlook them. This process is known as “attentional saturation (注意力饱和).” _18_Even though the brain is accustomed to ignoring unnecessary details, it is also programmed for recognition. When we see images such as logos over and over again, we become familiar with them.

37、This constant exposure leads to something scientists refer to as gist (梗概) memory. _19_ This general sense of memory has its own benefits. In fact, familiarity with a popular logo can even make people feel more comfortable about purchasing or using certain products.Logos are everywhere we look today

38、. A fancy design or a thoughtful color combination may be a good start for a logo concept, but there are other factors to consider. _20_ A clever design may be interesting, but most people will forget the detailsespecially if our brains have anything to say about it.AThis may be inspiring to logo de

39、signers.BPeople will know the product behind the logo.CSo why is it so difficult for people to recall the details of images?DThey also help us remember a product or service connected to that image.EIt means that our brain remembers the basic idea without all of the details.FOur brains actually signa

40、l us to ignore information we dont think we will need to remember.GLogo designers need to know that people will only remember what they believe is worthwhile.三、完形填空I was ready for bed.
