From the passage, what is NOT true about Steven's case？

D．Steven always likes to go to extreme.

ty is normal. Yet, he may seem to be very poor at remembering and understanding what he's heard at school.

Why should this be？ It's because he's not using his heating ability to help him remember and understand what he's been taught.

Some children get into the habit of learning and remembering things by what they hear. They've got good hearing memories. Other children find it easier to learn and remember things by what they see. They've got good seeing memories. Some children have equally good ability at both seeing and hearing in learning things. Others, less fortunate, seem to have poor hearing and seeing-memories. Most children, I'd say, unknowingly prefer one method over the other for learning and remembering.

But this favoring of one sense over the other is a bad habit and deprives (使......不能) the child of the full use of his natural senses. Mrs. Alien was clearly incredulous when I told her there was nothing wrong with her son's heating. "But he never seems to really understand what he hears, that's what his teachers tell me," she said.

"My psychological examination of William shows he's weak in his hearing memory," I said, "but he has perfectly normal intelligence and can learn in school."

"Our family doctor examined William and he says the boy's hearing was all right. So, that proves you're right on that point," admitted Mrs. Alien. "So how can we help him？ My husband and I will do anything you say, Dr. Dursteln."

"You can do a lot to improve William's hearing memory, but it'll take time. You must be patient and not expect results immediately." I cautioned.

I suggested a detailed program for the parents to use at home. I told Mrs. Alien to come back and see me every two weeks so that I could guide her in any problem she had in using my program.

Those who have poor hearing memories______.

A．cannot hear sounds clearly

B．are poor at remembering and understanding what they have learned

C．are poor at learning things by what they have heard

D．have the habit of learning things by what they have heard of

A family doctor charged the Night Home Service (NHS) more than ￡ 500,000 in seven years for night visits that his patients did not need, a General Medical Council disciplinary hearing was told yesterday.

Jagdeep Gossain charged for up to 540 emergency call-outs a month, increasing his annual salary to close to ￡200,000 a year and using almost a third of the local health authority's out-of-hours GP budget.

Dr Gossain, 46, had a target list of about 100 patients in his practice at Fulham, southwest London, whom he used repeatedly on claim forms to Ealing, Hammersmith and Hounslow Health Authority.

Nearly all emergency visits conducted by the doctor, who often made up to 40 calls a night, were "clinically inappropriate". He had also duped the GMC into postponing his hearing, before the professional conduct committee, four times by claiming that his bad back made him unfit to attend, Sarah Plaschkes, for the GMC, said.

But that injury had not prevented him enjoying his favourite sport — weightlifting — at an exclusive gym in Heston.

Ms Plaschkes added: "The council submits that Dr Gossain deliberately, dishonestly deceived this professional body by pretending he was too ill to attend the heating when, in fact, he was at a leisure centre."

Between May 1990 and April 1998 he claimed an "inordinate and extraordinary number" of night visits, she said. The average GP makes 50 emergency night calls a year. In September 1997 alone Dr Gossain put in 542 claims.

Ms Plaschkes alleged that it was unjustifiable reward in the sum of about ￡500,000 from the public purse. Dr Gossain's claims escalated over the years. In 1991 he claimed￡1,000; by 1995 the sum had risen to more than ￡75,000, peaking in 1996 at almost￡160,000. Over the seven-year period he allegedly fleeced the NHS of ￡514,593.

In 1998 he claimed ~ 124,591, when the average GP in his health authority claimed￡670. Dr Gossain is accused of doing so many night visits that he "could not have provided adequate care and attention" for the patients he visited. It is also said that his ability to provide competent daytime services "was compromised".

Dr Gossain denies serious professional misconduct but, if found guilty, could be struck off the medical register.

A BBC Panorama investigation found that his three children went to private school and he drove a Mercedes with private number plates. His wife, Shashi, a pharmacist, has said that his only crime was to have been a workaholic. The hearing continues.

For what was the doctor in the passage charged？

A．For his incompetence.

B．For his unnecessary services to the patients.

C．For unusually large number of night visits.

D．All the above.

？ You might have just knocked over a wine glass or noticed a car hurtling towards you, for example. Now scientists have measured exactly how much these attention-grabbing(引人注意的)events slow down our perception of the world around us.

Another example of the world appearing to slow down is when you are hanging on the phone waiting for someone to pick up at the other end. If your attention wanders while you're waiting, then suddenly switches back,you will probably hear what seems like a longer than usual silence before hearing the dialling tone again. For you, time will have momentarily slowed.

To see how our perception of time changes when something new happens, Vincent Walsh and his colleagues put headphones on volunteers and played eight beeps to their right ears. The gap between each beep was exactly i second, except for the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps, which the scientists could make shorter or longer. They altered the length of this gap until the volunteers estimated it was the same length as the other gaps. The researchers found that, on average, people judge a second slightly short, at 955 milliseconds.

In the second part of the experiment, the first four beeps were played to the subjects' right ear, but the other four were then played to their left. Again, the volunteers were asked to estimate when the gap between the fourth and fifth beeps was the same as the others. This time they judged a second to be even shorter at 825 milliseconds long.

Perceiving a second to be much shorter than it is makes you feel as though the world has gone into slow motion, since less happens in that slice of time. Walsh thinks the effect could have evolved to give us a fraction more time to react to potentially threatening events.

Last year, Kielan Yarrow, a British psychologist found a similar effect with vision. When you glance at a clock, the first second will seem longer than it really is.

Yarrow's results showed that time appeared to slow down by a similar amount as Walsh found. Previous studies have shown that cooling the body slows down our perception of time while warming it up has the opposite effect.

After you noticed a car hurtling towards you, you might feel that ______.

A．the world around you had slowed down

B．something bad was going to happen

C．life had suddenly become meaningless

D．people's life was so fragile
