When we walk through the city,we,all experience a kind of information overload(超载）。but we pay attention only to those that are,important to us.We don't stop,we keepour faces expressionless and eyes straight ahead,and in doing so,we are not just protecting ourselves, but are,avoiding overloading other people as well.

We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式）as convenient ways to make quick judgmentsabout situations and people around us.They may not always be accurate(精确的），andthey can often be dangerously wrong,but they are used regularly.

The problem with the stereotypes is that they restrict(限制）experience.,By using limited clues(线索）to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people on places we may choose to limit our communication.We may decide not to go to certain places because we believe.they will not offer something weenjoy.

18.Whatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game. In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares.The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it.But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately thanAyumu the chimp.For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability.Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors.This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears.Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia.Humans withsynesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors.For example, a person may see thenumber “5” as the color blue.Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could havesynesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference.There, he heard apresentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia.He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct.Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of thePrimate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazingmemories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu.He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?

19.As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the fullprice immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an airline trip. And there are some situations in whichAmericans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay for using it.Credit cards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people achoice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?
