According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to 27 mental pictures helps people function quicker.
In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty 28 and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were 29 to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips 30 . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t, the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that 31 the name of a common product when on the hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.
Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve 32 matured is not a great sign of 33 . The two professors hope to refute that idea, 34 that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.
Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any 35 , there’s still such a thing as too much information.
To show the potency of eye contact in daily life, we have only to consider how passersby behave when their glances happen to meet on the street. At one extreme are those people who feel obliged to smile when they make eye contact. At the other extreme are those who feel awkward and immediately look away. To make eye contact, it seems, is to make a certain link with someone.
Eye contact with an audience also lets a speaker know and monitor the listeners. It is, in fact, essential for analyzing an audience during a speech. Visual cues (暗示) from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation. As we have pointed out, visual feedback from listeners should play an important role in shaping a speech as it is delivered.
This passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A.the importance of eye contact
B.the potency of nonverbal techniques
C.successful speech delivery
D.an effective way to gain visual feedbacks

听力原文:M: Hey, Ellen, you'll never guess who I met last week. Barbara Johnson.
W: You don't mean the Barbara Johnson who directed the choir that performed on campus last weekend?
M: That's right.
W: But she's so famous. How did you get to meet her?
M: Well, you know how in that program they handed out, they printed the words to the choral pieces a long with the translations. I found all these mistakes in the Latin text, you know typographic... Wait a minute. You were actually reading the words.
W: I like to follow the text while I'm listening. It helps me understand what they are singing about. Any way, while they were doing those Latin pieces.
M: I notice all these mistakes, mostly spelling errors. It was really annoying. So after the concert all those people were crowding around back stage to see her and the soloist...
W: Yeah, I remember there were dozens of people waiting there for autographs.
M: Well, I waited to the end, and then when I met Barbara Johnson I showed her the mistakes I'd found.
W: Was she upset?
M: Upset? She actually thanked me and said if I sent her a copy of the corrected text, she would revise it for the next time they sing those pieces and even print my name in the acknowledgement as a pro gram editor.
W: Wow, your Latin must be pretty good to find all those errors.
M: I should hope so. I major in classics, you know.
