18、philosopher who conducts research in the medical school was talking about attention blindness, the basic feature of the human brain that, when we concentrate intensely on one task, causes us to miss just about everything else. Because we cant see what we cant see, our lecture was determined to catch
19、 us in the act. He had us watch a video of six people tossing basketball back and forth, three in white shirts and three in black, and our task was to keep track only of the tosses among the people in white. The tape rolled, and everyone began counting. Everyone except me, Im dyslexic(有阅读障碍的), and t
20、he moment I saw that grainy tape with the confusing basketball tosses, I knew I wouldnt be able to keep track of their movements, so I let my mind wander. My curiosity was aroused, though, when about 30 seconds into the tape, a gorilla(大猩猩) came in among the players. She (we later learned a female s
21、tudent was in the gorilla suit) start at the camera, thumped her chest, and the strode away while they continued passing the balls. When the tape stopped, the philosopher asked how many people had counted at least d a dozen basketball tosses. Hands went up all over. He then asked who had counted 13,
22、 14, and congratulated those whod scored the perfect 15. The he asked, “And who saw the gorilla?” I raised my hand and was surprised to discover I was the only person at my table and one of only three or four in the large room to do so. Hed set me up, trapping us in our own attention blindness. Yes,
23、 there had been a trick, but he wasnt the one who had played it on us. By concentrating so hard on counting, we had managed to miss the gorilla in the midst.21.

26、n letter, lovingly decorated with hand drawings, suffering in a bin. The sparkly envelopes were addressed to Taylor Swift, a pop star much beloved by teenage and pre-teen girls. “Dear Taylor”, read one discard message, “I love you so much! Youre the best! And youre really beautiful and cute! Im real
27、ly enjoying your songsThis, along with hundreds of other similar letters sent from around the world, was discovered in Nashville recycling disposal unit by a local woman.

28、pointment to any devotee who imagine, as they compose their letter, that Swift make time to view each one personallyDealing with pile of fan mail is, however, an administrative burden for most celebrities. While some celebrities do like to go through their mail personally, the majority simply do not
29、 have time. But the fact f their correspondence is something most committed fans will not wish to dwell on, say Lynn Zubernis, an expert in the psychology of fandom at West Chester University.“Theres this little bit of every fan that thinks theirs will be the one that stands out- its not an expectat
30、ion, but a hope that theirs will be seen by the celebrity.”While the relationship between the fan and the celebrity may exist only in the mind of the former, it sterns from a deeply-rooted human need for community and belonging, Zubernis believe. As a result, even receiving a mass-produced letter of
31、 acknowledgment and a photo stamped with a reproduced signature can be a powerful experience.“People have a tremendous need to connect with the person they are idolizing(偶像化),” she says, “They cant ring up and say, Can we have coffee?
