四、阅读理解。〔人与社会——社会与文化〕
Three young ladies were receiving training to be qualified detectives by a policeman. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, the policeman showed the first lady a picture for five seconds and then asked how she could recognize him. She thought it was easy, for the suspect had only one eye. The policeman felt disappointed at this funny answer. He showed the second lady the picture for five seconds and asked her how she would recognize him. The second lady smiled, flipped her hair, and said, "Ha! It's easy to find the person with only one ear!" Her answer also made the policeman angry. Turning to the third lady, he asked, "How would you recognize him?" He added quickly, "Think hard before giving a silly answer." The third lady looked at the picture carefully for a moment and said, "Hmm... he is wearing contact lenses(隐形眼镜)." The policeman was surprised and speechless, because he really didn't know whether the man wore contacts or not. "Well, that is a good answer. Wait here for a few minutes while I check his file. He left the room and went to his office. He checked the suspect's file in his computer and returned with a bright smile. "Wow! I can't believe it... it's true! The man does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such a wise observation(观察)?" "That's easy," the third lady replied. "He can't wear glasses because he only has one eye and one ear!"
