Dr. Aiken studied a munber of couples who had been mairied for at least hventy-five year s. Each couple provided four photogiaphs-one

21、 photo of each partner at the time of th eir maniage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All bac kground was cut fiom the photos to remove any chies. The photos were then displaye d in gi oups: a random giouping of the persons at the time of their mamage and anothe r r

22、andom grouping of the same persons who took photogi aphs later. Some testees wer e asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first gioup. Their judgeme nts were no better than chance. But with the photos taken hventy-five or more years af ter the maiTiage. the testees were quite s

23、uccessftil with the most happily-manied coup les.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as some one else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the fa

24、ces of their loved ones. u Another possible reason J he says, “is the common experienc e of the couples." There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are

25、 likely to change in a similar way.21.

29、”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these tlii ee little white lies, the worst is the third. Ifs the only one that can nev er be tine. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know wha t the clerk is sure to say,“ It was a computer error." Nonsense. The computer is r

30、eporti ng nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most amioying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery st ore shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points o ut the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and off

31、er the famil iar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn't, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an elect ric event.

32、 stored in m emory. If the price list is right, you'll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each daythat is, somebody sits at a keyboar d and types in the prices.
