Have you ever heard the phrase, “Love is blind”? If so, you are already 1 with a type of mistake in our attempts to understand others: halo effects. This type of mistake 2 to the fact that once we form an overall impression of somebody, it could have strong effects on our 3 of his personality. 4 , halo effects are both common and powerful. For example, most organizations contain one or more “superstars”--- people who have earned the reputation for being unusually 5 and capable. Once they have gained such a “halo”, everything they do receives good 6 . Ideas that would be regarded as just so-so if suggested by someone else are seen as 7 when proposed by these persons. And actions that might be considered risky if taken by others are seen as brave when carried out by these “chosen” men and women.
As you can see, halo effects carry high costs. They may lead some persons to have an 8 high opinion of their own worth, while making things 9 for others who are equally deserving. Further, by giving too much influence to persons who are not ready to receive it, and by preventing hidden talent from being 10 , they can harm organizations as well as individuals. Clearly, then, it is important to recognize the existence and impact of halo effects; only then can their harmful effects be avoided.

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper —and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little surprised. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never 21more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 22for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 23 _ table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the best for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 24 at each other —what was he up to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a mixture of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 25was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just another mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 26 turned back to what we were eating. ”Was there a recipe (食谱) for this,” asked Marina, “or did you 27 it up?” Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked depended on what I could find.” Marina was surprised. “But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.” “But there’s28choice in what you can find outside supermarkets,” he replied.
Seeing that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually throw away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of __29, boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had successfully provided a decent (体面的) meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 30 millions of people.
