My father brought home a sailboat （帆船） when I was ten, and almost each Sunday in summers we would go sailing. Dad was quite skilled in sailing, but not good at      . As for me, I learned both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.
The last time Dad and I set sail together is really           . It was a perfect weekend after I graduated from university. I came home and              Dad to go sailing. Out we set soon on the       lake. Dad hadn’t sailed for years, but everything     well with the tiller（舵柄）in his hands.
When we were in the middle of the lake, a      wind came all of a sudden. The boat was hit hard. Dad was always at his best in any       , but at this moment he was       .
“John!       !” he shouted in a trembling voice, with the tiller still in his hands.
In my memory he could fix any problem. He was the one I always     for power and safety . Before I could respond, a     of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller      it was too late. Another huge wall of water      the boat in a minute. We were thrown into the water, and Dad was struggling aimlessly. At that moment, I felt strongly protective of him.
I swam to Dad      and helped him in climbing onto the hull（船壳）of the boat. On sitting on the hull, Dad was a little shy about his flash(瞬间) of     . “It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,” I comforted him.

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
