　　Thanks to depressed markets, investment(投资)banks are reducing many of their highly－paid traders．When markets recover, the banks might be willing to replace them with rather cheaper talent．One alternative has been around for a while but has yet to catch on：autonomous trading agents－computers programmed to act like the human version without such troublesome costs as holidays, lunch breaks．Program trading has been done before; some blamed the 1987 stock market crash on computers instructed with simple decision－making rules．But robots can be smarter than that．

　　Dave Cliff, a researcher at Hewlett－Packard Laboratories in Bristol, England, has been creating trading robots for seven years．His simulation(模拟)experiments have suggested that a redesign of some markets could lead to greater efficiency．Last year, a research group at IBM showed that Mr Cliff's artificial traders could unchangeably beat the human variety, in various kinds of market．Nearly all take the shape of an auction(拍卖)．One well-known type is the English auction, familiar to customers of the salesrooms of Christie's and Sotheby's where sellers keep silent on their offer price, and buyers increase their bids by stages until only one remains．

　　At the other extreme is the Dutch auction, familiar to traders in the Netherlands as well as to bidders for American Treasury bonds．Here, buyers remain silent, and a seller reduces his price until it is accepted．Most markets for shares are a mixture of these two types：buyers and sellers can announce their bid or offer prices at any time, and deals are constantly being closed, a so-called “continuous double auction”．

　　Mr Cliff's new idea was to apply his evolutionary computer programs to market places themselves．Why not, he thought, try and see what types of auction would let traders converge(趋于达成一致)most quickly towards a balance price? The results were surprising．In his models, auctions that let buyers and sellers bid at any time like most of today's financial exchanges were less efficient than ones that required relatively more bids from either buyers or sellers．These “evolved(演变的)auctions” also withstood(经得起)big market shocks, such as crashes and panics, better than today's real-world versions．

　　Bank of America has been investigating these new auctions, along with robotic traders, for possible use in electronic exchanges．The hope is that today's financial auctions and online market places might work better by becoming more like their English and Dutch forebears．

(1)

The passage is mainly ________．
[　　]
A．	a review of two kinds of auctions

We can infer from the passage that ________．
[　　]
A．	existing auctions can not withstand market shocks
B．	the Dutch auction is better than the continuous double auction
C．	it's hard for traders to reach an equilibrium price
D．	the best type of auction takes place when the number of the buyers is equal to that of sellers

Just as the “mirror” or other people can be a positive reflection，it is more likely that we'll　 __45__ it when it has a negative connotation(内涵).　 __46__，it's easy to remember the times when we have met someone we're not particularly　 __47__　 about. We may have some criticism(批评)in our mind about the　 __48__. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend　 __49__　 time.

Often, when we　 __50__　 qualities in other people, ironically(讽刺地), it's usually the mirror that's　 __51__　 to us.

At times we meet someone　 __52__　 and feel distant disconnected, or disgusted.　 __53__　 we don't want to believe it，and it's not easy or　 __54__　 to look further，it can be a great learning lesson to　 __55__　 what part of the person is being reflected in you. It's simply just another way to create more self?awareness.
