问题     One motivational analyst who became curious to know there had been such a great rise in impulse buying at supermarkets was James Vicary. He suspected that some special psychology must be going on inside the women as they shopped in supermarkets. His suspicion was that perhaps they underwent such an increase in tension when confronted with so many possibilities that they were forced into making quick purchases. He set out to find out if this were true. The best way to detect what was going on inside the shopper was through the use of a galvanometer or lie detector. That obviously was impractical. The next best thing was to use a hidden motion-picture camera and record the eye-blink rate of the women as they shopped. How fast a person blinks his eyes is a pretty good index of his state of inner tension. The average person, according to Mr. Vicary, normally blinks his eyes about 32 times a minute. If he is tense, he blinks them more frequently; and. under extreme tension, he may blink up to 50 or 60 times a minute. II he is notably relaxed, on the other hand, his eye-blink rate may drop to a subnormal twenty or less.
Mr. Vicary set up his cameras and started following the ladies as they entered the store. The results were startling, even to him. Their eyeblink rate, instead of going up to indicate mounting tension, went down and down, to a very subnormal fourteen blinks a minute. The ladies fell into what Mr. Vicary calls a hypnoidal trance, a light kind of trance that, he explains, is the first stage of hypnosis. Mr. Vicary has decided that the main cause of the trance is that the supermarket is packed with products which in former years would have been items only kings and queens could have afforded and here in this fairyland they were available to all. Mr. Vicary theorizes: "Just within this generation, anyone can be a king or queen and go through these stores where the products say ’buy me, buy me. "’(344 words) [br] Implied but not stated is that______.
选项 A、quick purchasing is the result of inner tension
B、the first stage of hypnosis is a light trance
C、research conducted by motivation analysis can disprove their original premises
D、supermarkets seeking a fairyland atmosphere can install hidden movie cameras
答案 C
解析 Vicary先生对妇女购物冲动产尘了好奇心．认为这是由于她们心理紧张所致。可是当他对她们在购 物时眨眼的坝率进行测定后却发现，妇女并不紧张。因此Vicary认为妇女在购物时是心醉神迷的，神情非常放松。由此可见，动机分析研究的结果否定了他原先的假没。
