8、. 10 The way we see things is more complicated (复杂的 ) than we imagine. Our eyes give us information all the time. But our brains decide what is【 11】 to us.

9、w, you will【 13】 him immediately. From this example we can see that your brain chooses the visual information which is【 14】 to you, and rejects the information which it does not need.

18、buy products. For example, a little child might ask for a breakfast food contained in a box with a picture of a TV character. The child is more interested in the picture than in breakfast food. Pictures for children to color or cut out, games printed on a package, or a small gift inside a box also m

19、otivate many children to buy products or to ask their parents to buy for them. Some packages suggest that a buyer will get something for nothing. Food products sold in reusable containers are examples of this. Although a similar product in plain container might cost less, people often prefer to buy

20、the product in a reusable glass or dish, because they believe the container is free. However, the cost of the container is added to the cost of the product. The size of a package also motivates a buyer. Maybe the package has “Economy Size“ or “Family Size“ printed on it. This suggests that the large

21、r size has the most product for the least money. But that is not always true. To find it out, a buyer has to know how the product is sold and the price of the basic unit.
