The gift of being able to describe a face accurately is a rare one. As a professor 【B1】it recently: "When we try to describe faces precisely words 【B2】us, and we 【B3】t o identikit (拼脸型图) procedures."
【B4】. according to a research 【B5】this subject, we can each probably recogniz e more than 1,000 faces, the majority of which differ in 【B6】details. This, when one c omes to think of it, is a 【B7】feat, though, curiously enough, relatively little attention h as been devoted to the fundamental problems of how and why we 【B8】this gift for re cognizing and remembering faces.
Some scientists argue that it is an inborn 【B9】. and that there are "special charact eristics about the brain''s 【B10】to distinguish faces". On the other hand, there are those, and they are probably 【B11】the majority, who claim that the gift is an acquired one.
But 【B12】all these arguments, sight is predominant. 【B13】at the very beginnin g of life, the ability to recognize faces quickly becomes an 【B14】habit, one that is ess ential for daily living, if not 【B15】for survival. How essential and valuable it is we pr obably do not 【B16】until we encounter people who have been 【B17】of the faculty (能力). This unfortunate inability to recognize familiar faces is known to all, 【B18】suc h people can often recognize individuals by their voices or their walking manners. With t ypical human 【B19】many of these unfortunate people overcome their handicap by reco gnizing other 【B20】features.

When our family moved to the United States six years ago, none of us spoke any English. (B17) we had begun to learn a few words, my mother suggested that we all should speak English at home.

Mother tried to say something in English but it (B20) out all wrong and we all burst into laughter and decided to forget it! We''ve been speaking Korean at home ever since.

Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of 【B1】is partly to 【B2】things or processes with no names in ordinary En glish, and partly to secure greater exactness in terminology. 【B3】, they save time, for i t is much more 【B4】to name a process than describe it. Thousands of these technical t erms are very 【B5】included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather 【B6】the outskirts of the English language than actually within its borders.
Different occupations, however, differ 【B7】in their special vocabularies. It 【B8】largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have 【B9】themselves into the very fibre of our language. 【B10】. though highly technical in many details, these vocabulari es are more familiar in sound, and more generally 【B11】. than most other technical ter ms. 【B12】every vocation still possesses a large 【B13】of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even 【B14】educated people. And the proportion has been much 【B 15】in the last fifty years. Most of the newly 【B16】terms are 【B17】to special dis cussions, and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowa days, as all professions once 【B18】a close federation. What is called "popular science" makes everybody 【B19】with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important exper iment, 【B20】made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the news papers, and everybody is soon talking about it. Thus our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.

Seven years ago, when I was visiting Germany, I met with an official who explained to me that the country had a perfect solution to its economic problems. Watching the U.S. e conomy【B1】during the '90s, the Germans had decided that they, too, needed to go the h
igh-technology【B2】. But how? In the late '90s, the answer seemed obvious: Indians.【B3】all, Indian entrepreneurs accounted for one of every three Silicon Valley start-ups. So the German government decided that it would【B4】Indians to Germany just as America does: by【B5】green cards. Officials created something called the German Green Card and【B6】that they would issue 20,000 in the first year.【B7】, the Germans expected that tens of t housands more Indians would soon be begging to come, and perhaps the【B8】would have to be increased. But the program was a failure. A year later【B9】half of the 20,000 car ds had been issued. After a few extensions, the program was【B10】.
I told the German official at the time that I was sure the【B11】would fail. It's not t hat I had any particular expertise in immigration policy,【B12】I understood something ab out green cards, because I had one (the American【B13】). The German Green Card was misnamed, I argued,【B14】it never, under any circumstances, translated into German citize nship. The U.S. green card, by contrast, is an almost【B15】path to becoming American (a fter five years and a clean record).The official【B16】my objection, saying that there was no way Germany was going to offer these people citizenship. "We need young tech worke rs," he said. "That's what this program is all【B17】." So Germany was asking bright you ng【B18】to leave their country, culture and families, move thousands of miles away, lear n a new language and work in a strange land—but without any【B19】of ever being part of their new home. Germany was sending a signal, one that was【B20】received in India and other countries, and also by Germany's own immigrant community.
