We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either C0caCola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.
We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guesswork could have accomplished.
Getting ail four samples right was a tough test, but not too though, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified theft brand of choice in all four trials. The diet cola drinkers did a little worse -- only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.
While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.
According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to______.

A. find out the role taste preference plays in a person' s drinking
B. reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkers
C. show that a person' s opinion about taste is mere guesswork
D. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks

Just over 10 years ago, Ingmar Bergman announced that the widely acclaimed Fanny and Alexander would mark hi, last hurrah as a filmmaker, Although ,some critics had written him off as earnest but ponderous, others were saddened by the departure of an artist who had explored cinematic mood, -- from high tragedy to low comedy = during his four-decade career.
What nobody foresaw. that Bergman would find a variety of way, to circumvent his own retirement director television movies, tailing theater production, and writing screenplay, for other filmmakers to direct, Hi, latest enterprise as a screenwriter, Sunday', Children, complete, a trilogy of family-oriented movie, that began with Fanny and Alexander and continued with The Best Intentions written by Batsman and directed by Danish filmmaker Bille August,
Beside, dealing with member, of Bergman’s family in bygone times - it begins a few years after The Best Intentions leaves off- the new picture was directed by Daniel Batsman, his youngest son, Although it lacks the urgency and originality of the elder Bergman’s greatest achievements, such as The Silence and Potions, it has enough visual and emotional interest to make a worthy addition to his body of work,
Set in rural Sweden during the late 1920s, the story centers on a young, boy named Pa, clearly modeled on Ingmar Bergman himself. Pu's father is a country clergyman whose duties include traveling to the capital and ministering to the royal family, While this is an enviable position, it doesn’t assuage problems in the pastor’s marriage, Pu’s young enough to be fairly oblivious to such difficulties, but his awareness grows with the passage of time, So do the subtle tensions that mar Pu’s own relationship with his father, whose desire to show affection and compassion is hampered by a certain stiffness in his demeanor and chilliness in his emotions.
The film’s most resonant passages take place when Pu learns to see his father with new clarity while accompanying him on a cross-country trip to another parish. In a remarkable change of tone, this portion of the story is punctuated with .flash-forwards to a time 40 years in the future, showing the relationship between parent and child to be dramatically re versed: The father is now cared for by the son, and desires a forgiveness for past shortcomings that the younger man resolutely refuses to gram.
Brief and abrupt though they are, these scenes make a pungent contrast with the sunny landscapes and comic interludes in the early part of the movie.
Sunday’s Children is a film of many levels, and all are skillfully handled by Daniel Batsman in his directional debut. Gentle scenes of domestic contentment are sensitively interwoven with intimations of underlying malaise. While the more nostalgic sequences are photographed with an eye-dazzling beauty that occasionally threatens to become cloying, any such result is foreclosed by the jagged interruptions of the flash-forward sequences--an intrusive device that few filmmakers are agile enough to handle successfully, but that is put to impressive use by the Bergman team.
Henrik Linnros gives a smartly turned performance as young Pu, and Thommy Berggren - who starred in the popular Elvira Madison years ago - is steadily convincing as his father. Top honors go to the screenplay, though, which carries the crowded canvas of Fanny and Alexander and the emotional ambiguity of The Best Intentions into fresh and sometimes fascinating territory.
Over the years critical views of Bergman's work have ______.

A. without exception been positive
B. deplored his seriousness
C. often been antithetical
D. usually focused on his personality
