21、ewer than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your slip enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour.

27、ever be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say, “It was a computer error. “ Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it. The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the groc
28、ery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computer error. “It wasnt, of courses that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an
29、 electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Codechat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the packageand then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, youll be charged accurately. Grocery stores update the price list each daythat is, somebody
30、 sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty.

36、ng overloading other people as well. We make use of stereotypes(刻板的模式)as convenient ways to make quick judgments about situations and people around us. They may not always be accurate, and they can often be dangerously wrong, but they are used regularly. The problem with the stereotypes is that they
37、 restrict experience. By using limited clues to provide us with a rapid opinion of other people or places we may choose to limit our communication.

38、tant with regard to self-presentation. Different groups often use clearly identifiable styles of clothes so that they can be easily recognized.
