Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people,23 of them women, to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight. When he came to analyze their embarrassing lapses in a scientific report, he was surprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings. Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random.
One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work one morning threw her dog her earrings and tried to fix a dog biscuit on her ear. "The explanation for this is that the brain is like a computer," explains the professor. "People program themselves to do certain activities regularly. It was the woman’s custom every morning to throw her dog two biscuits and then put on her earrings. But somehow the action got reversed in the program." About one in twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these "program assembly failures."
Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions that they found themselves doing—an average of twelve each. There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at our zaniest (滑稽的). These are two hours some time between eight a.m. and noon, between four and six p.m. with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m. "Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain ‘program’ occurs, as for instance between going to and from work." Women on average reported slightly more lapses—12.5 compared with 10.9 for men.
Which of the following about the study is true?
选项
A、The numbers of male and female participants are equal.
B、Participants were asked to involve in the research for fourteen days.
C、The absent-minded actions of the participants are randomly presented.
D、The participants were required to finish a questionnaire for the research.
答案
B
解析
细节题。根据第一段第一句“Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people,23 of them women,to keep a diary of all their absent-minded actions fora fortnight. ”可知,A、D项错误,B项正确,fortnight意为“l4天,两星期”。根据第一段最后一句“Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random. "可知,人们无意中做错的事并不是随机出现的,C项错误。
