The residents often smile and wave as we pass by.We turn onto a farm track. The last part of our journey is a roller coast
20、er, jumping out of potholes(路面坑洼) and turning to avoid falling off the sinking road. We pass huts on stilts(木桩)，skinny cows and farm yards where children jump and scream upon seeing us.The stream along the side of the road is almost bone dry and vegetation is rare across the fields.Finally we arrive
21、 at our destination: the oasis(令人快慰的地方) is Samrong Farm. By the gates, a group of 10-year-old children compete in the area of marbles.

26、nt treated them fairly enough. My questions are these: What is fairness? Is life fair? Should life be fair?We clearly have no choice about how we come into this world. We have little choice early in life. But as we grow older, choices abound. I have long believed that while we have no control over t
27、he beginning of our life, the majority of us have the ability to influence the outcomes we attain. Fairness is a state of mind, and most often， an unhealthy state of mind. Our state in life cannot, or at least should not， be blamed on our parents， our teachers, or our society- its largely based on t
28、he choices we make, and the attitudes we adopt.Life is full of examples of the uneducated， the mentally and physically challenged people born into war-torn areas， who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path. Regardless of the challenges they faced, they
29、had the character to choose contribution over complaint.I agree that challenges exist. I agree that many have an uphill battle due to the severity of the challenges they face.

35、g in the park with your friends, and now Jesus is floating by in the clouds- -are they seeing him too?!Why do we see human faces everywhere?Until now，it has been unclear as to why the brain processes visual signals and represents them in our mind as human faces. However, researchers from the School
36、of Psychology at the University of Sydney have tried evaluating this phenomenon.The facial recognition response happens fast, only taking a few hundred milliseconds.From an evolutionary perspective， the researchers suggest that the benefit of“never missing a face”outweighs(超过) the error where lifele
37、ss objects are seen as faces. Despite knowing that the object you are seeing is not a human face, the perception(知觉) of a face stays. This is known as“face pareidolia”.Pareidolia refers to the tendency to impose a meaningful interpretation on an unclear stimulus(刺激物)，making one see an object， patter
38、n or meaning when there is none.Pareidolia was originally considered a symptom of mental disorder, but it is now viewed as a normal human tendency.Pareidolia has been investigated by scientists and has been present in art and literature for a long period of time. In Shakespeare s Hamlet，Hamlet demon
39、strates his supposed madness in his exchange with Polonius by telling him that he can see a camel in the sky.The researchers set out to investigate whether a detected pareidolia face would be cast off as a false detection or be analysed for a facial expression. The study participants were presented
40、series of faces and asked to rate each face expression on a scale from angry to happy. The series involved a mix of both real and pareidolia faces.The researchers have found that pareidolia faces are not cast off as false detections，but rather undergo an internal “facial expression analysis”， in the
41、 same way a real face would. This is likely because humans are deeply social beings. Additionally, they found that biases(成见) often seen when judging human faces in the analysis of the pareidolia faces.So，the next time that you see an angry tree, dont be surprised and remember its not personal. .32.

How do the researchers, from an evolutionary perspective， understand the facial recognition response?A. Our brain is good at processing signa
