We may look at the world around us, but somehow we manage not to see it until whatever we've become used to suddenly disappears. 36 , for example, the neatly-dressed woman I 37 to see -- or look at -- on my way to work each morning.
For three years, no matter 38 the weather was like, she was always waiting at the bus stop around 8:00 am. On  39  days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 40  out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses. 41  , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 42  all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 43 I expected to see her each morning. You might say I   44  her.
“Did she have an accident? Something 45 ?” I thought to myself about her 46 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had 47 her. I began to realize that part of our 48   life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 49 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 50  walks her dog along the street every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are   51  markers in our lives. They add weight to our 52  of place and belonging.
Think about it.   53  , while walking to work, we mark where we are by 54 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when we pass a familiar, though 55 , person?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already   21  with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake    22  to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our   23    of his personality.   24 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually   25   and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good   26  . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as    27  when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an   28     high opinion of their own worth, while making things 29  for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being   30  , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___21___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still    22   away. A mother who has not    23  the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
　　One explanation is the    24    of over learning, which can be stated as following: Once we have learned something, additional learning increases the    25   of time we will remember it.
　　In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and    26   ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but __27  .
　　The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, though it may result in a(an)    28    grade, is not a    29   way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,    30  , is usually a good investment toward the future.
　　21. A. only               B. hardly           C. still               D. even
　　22. A. move              B. drive             C. travel             D. ride
　　23. A. thought about     B. cared for         C. showed up      D. brought up
　　24. A. result             B. law              C. rule             D. cause
　　25. A. accuracy          B. unit                 C. limit             D. length
　　26. A. remind            B. inform             C. warm            D. recall
　　27. A. recite              B. overlearn         C. research         D. improve
　　28. A. passing           B. average             C. excellent             D. discouraging
