Further discussion
1. What can you see in picture one? 2. Are the
two lines of the same length? 3. Can you prove
that the two lines in picture 3 are
straight? 4. How can you read line b?
24
1.When looking at the white part, we can see a
vase, but two faces when looking at the black
part.
25
2.We can measure the two lines with a ruler or
use two pieces of paper to cover both ends of the
two lines. The answer is the two lines are the
same length.
26
3.Place a ruler next to the line or use a ruler
to draw more straight lines which run parallel to
the two lines. Then well know the answer.
27
4. For line b in picture 4 we can read them as
letters K, B, R, M, or K, 13, R, M.
28
Why are people misled(??) by their own eyes?
Because the background or other lines confuse our
eyes. Also, what we expect to see can change what
we see. Actually, it is more the brain that is
confused than the eyes.
29
Questions for discussion
30
1. We use one or two of the five senses more than
the other when we need to. For example, in the
darkness, the sense of hearing and the sense of
touch become more sensitive because we cannot see
anything. When we listen to our favorite music,
we will close our eyes and just want to listen
with our ears. When we read an interesting book,
well lose ourselves in it, and hardly hear
anything around us. When we eat something, we do
not only taste or smell it. We look at it as
well.
31
2. I think in listening to English, the sense of
sight and the sense of hearing help me a lot. I
usually listen to the tape before I read it.
While I listen to the tape, Ill look at the
text. And I often read the English text aloud.
The combination of these two senses best help me
remember what I have learnt.
32
3. There are quite a few people who have made
great achievements even when they have lost one
of their senses. Take Beethoven, the great German
composer, as an example. He began to lose his
hearing in 1801 and was partly deaf by 1819. In
1824 when he was completely deaf, Beethoven
completed his most famous symphony, the Ninth
Symphony. Another famous musician is Hua Yanjun,
Blind Abing. Although he could not see anything,
his famous erhu solos are admired by people all
over China.
