Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of one of the country’s greatest machines was actually born in a log cabin, 1 to high school on horse back and without 2 of university degree（indeed, at age 14）, thought of the idea of electronic television. In 1906 Farnsworth was born in a community near Beaver City, Utah, 3 by his grandfather. 4 he was 12, his family moved to a ranch （大牧场）in Rigby, Idaho, which was four miles from, the nearest high school, 5 necessitating（使成为必要）his daily horseback rides. Because he was interested in the electron and electricity, he persuaded his chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, to give him 6 instruction and to allow him to listen to a senior course.
The death of his father forced him to leave at the end of his second year, but, as it 7 , at no great intellectual cost. There were, at the time, no more than a handful of men 8 the planet who could have understood Farnsworth’s idea for building an electronic television system, and it’s 9 that any of them were at this local community. One such man was Vladimir Zworykin who had moved to the US from Russia with a Ph. D in electrical engineering. He went to work for Westinghouse with a dream of building an all-electronic television system. But he wasn’t 10 to do so.

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.
