How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson, British inventor of the Dyson vacuum（真空）cleaner that has sold in millions around the world, resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum． It is widely believed that Mr．Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style and fashion at the expense of serious industrial design．

Mr．Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself． He may be right, but these days, museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning．Among competition for sponsorship, they must use exhibitions of populist culture, nice cafes and shops or, best of all, a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers．

On the one hand, some producers can be too old-fashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods．On the other hand there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important．Design is indeed a broad term, involving both function and form．Typically, in any given product area, it changes from the former to the latter． Clothing is a good example．But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance was more important than what it did．

Today nearly all goods at any given price-point do much the same job．So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer, which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging; or the imagery（意象）created by advertising. And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaners? Mr. Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction(喝酒), but most vacuum cleaners do a good job; the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is because it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand. With its inside workings exposed, it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside. Functional it may be, but it is a bit of a trick, too．

1.Mr. Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum　　　　　　 ．

A. didn't increase the number of visitors

B. couldn't provide scholarships for learners

C. hadn't great appeal for serious industrial designs

D. wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learning

2.Speaking of clothing, the underlined word "latter" refers to　　　　　　 ．

A. affording protection

B. indicating one's identity

C. making someone beautiful

D. providing warmth

3.What is the author's opinion in Paragraph 4?

A. A product with convenient packaging sells well．

B. The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods．

C. Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry．

D. Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard．

4.The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner because　　　　　　　 ．

A. it has a fashionable range

B. it has very good suction

C. it sells well around the world

D. it is invented by James Dyson

5.What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product?

A. Optimistic　　 B. Skeptical

C. Objective　　 D. Disapproving

Soaping up your hands may do more than just get rid of germs. It may wash away the inner confusion you feel right after being forced to make a choice between two appealing choices, according to a new study. The study builds on the past research into a phenomenon known as “the Macbeth effect” (麦克白效应）.

It turns out that Shakespeare was really onto something when he imagined Lady Macbeth trying to clean her conscience by rubbing invisible bloodstains from her hands.

A few years ago, scientists asked people to describe a past wrong act. If people were then given a chance to clean their hands, they later expressed less guilt than people who hadn't cleaned.

This finding interested W. S. Lee, a researcher. “Anything from the past, any kind of negative emotional experiences, might be washed away,” says Lee.

He decided to test hand washing's effect on one kind of bad feeling：the tension we feel after being forced to choose between two attractive choices, because picking one choice makes us feel that we've lost the other. People usually try to calm this inner conflict by later exaggerating (夸大）the positive aspects of their choice.

He had students rank 10 different music CDs. Then he offered students two of the CDs and told them to select one as a gift. Some students then used liquid soap. Others only looked at the soap or sniffed (闻)it. “Actually, you do not need water and soap,” says Lee.

Later, the students again had to rank all the music CDs. People who didn't wash their hands had the normal response — they scored their take-home CD higher, suggesting that they now saw it as an even more attractive one than before. But this wasn't true for the hand washers. They ranked the music about the same. “They feel no need at all to justify (证明…正确）the choice,” says Lee.

But the effects of it just aren't clear. Schwarz says it’s too soon to know whether people should head for a sink after making a tough choice. He says washing may help decision-makers by cleaning away mental disorder. But perhaps if they don't go through the usual post-decision process of justifying their choice, they might feel more sorrow in the long run.

1.“The Macbeth effect” refers to the fact that ______.

A. Lady Macbeth had a habit of washing hands

B. people feel less ashamed after washing their hands

C. Macbeth knew about the importance of cleaning hands

D. Shakespeare used to wash his hands before writing Macbeth

2.In Lee's experiment, those who didn't wash their hands after making a choice ________.

A. valued their choice more than before

B. felt regretful about their choice

C. wished they had washed their hands

D. didn't care about their choice

3.According to Lee, those hand washers consider justifying their choice ________.

A. scientific        B. useful        C. unnecessary        D. convincing

4.What does the author intend to tell us in the passage?

A. Washing hands is a habit in our daily life.

B. Washing hands is to keep hands clean.

C. Washing hands will help you make a better choice.

D. Washing hands can reduce the stress of decision.
