At
any given moment we are being bombarded by physical and psychological stimuli
competing for our attention. Althrough our eyes are capable of handling more
than 5 million bits of data per second, our brains are capable of interpreting
only 500 bits of data per second. With similar disparities between each of the
other senses and the brain, it is easy to see that we select the visual,
auditory, or tactile stimuli that we wish to compute at any specific time.
Question:
(1)Physical stimuli usually win in
the competition for our attention.

is sufficient to interpret nearly all the stimuli the senses can register under
optimum conditions.

Many
organizations find it beneficial to employ students over the summer. Permanent

education. Ensuring that the students learn as much as possible about the
organization encourages their interest in working on a permanent basis.

paid holidays or sick leave.

Most
banks and buliding societies adopt a “no smoking” policy in customer areas in
their branchs. Plaques and stickers are displayed in these areas to draw
attention to this policy. The notices are worded in a “customer friendly”
manner, though a few customers may feel their personal freedom of choice is
being infringed. If a customer does ignore a notice, staff are tolerant and
avoid making a great issue of the situation. If fact, the majority of customers
now expect a “no smoking” policy in premises of this kind. After all, such a
policy improves the pleasantness of the customer facilities and also lessens
fire risk.
Question:
(1)“No smoking” policies have
mainly been introduced in response to customer demand.
(A)
right( B) False (C )can''t say
(2)All banks and buliding
societies now have a “no smoking” policy.

right( B) False (C )can''t say
(3)There is no conflict of
interest between a “no smoking” policy and personal freedom of choice for all.
