Упр.15 Is physics difficult? ГДЗ Enjoy English 11 класс

Read the text again and discuss the following points.

1. Does the experiment mentioned in the story exist, or did the python invent it all by himself?
2. What is the point of the experiment? What does it prove?
3. What is wrong with the python’s interpretation of the experiment?
4. Describe the experiment in a more accurate way.

1. The experiment really exists. The python did not invent it.
2. The point of the experiment is to show how a person’s expectations can influence the result. It proves the power of suggestion.
3. The python’s interpretation is wrong because he thinks the experiment proves that physics is difficult, while in fact it shows that people can be misled by what they are told.
4. A more accurate description is: a person is given a task or shown a result and, because of the way the experiment is presented, he or she reacts in the expected way. The experiment demonstrates psychological influence, not the difficulty of physics.
