The recent news about China developing the world’s fastest supercomputer will trigger the predictable debate about whether Beijing has finally overtaken the US in advanced computing.

「已見了外科醫生，他說不用動手術，觀察便可！」病人說。 醫生狐疑地望望他，再細看電腦掃描，右上肺一點五公分陰影邊緣模糊，呈斑片狀與分葉狀，甚至帶有毛刺狀邊緣（Spiculated border）。 從影像學來說，這小東西是癌症機會甚高；只因它位於右上肺葉頂端，切片檢查（Biopsy）不容易兼有風險，故臨床上多會考慮直接以手術切除。 「Dr. Ng真的這麼說？」醫生定要查究。 病人眼也不眨便說：「是的，他真的這麼說。」 醫生相信病人所相信的，但並不相信他所聽到的。 病人只聽到自己想聽到信息，把不想聽到的排除耳外，心理學上稱之為選擇性聆聽（Selective listening）或選擇性聽覺注意（Selective auditory attention）。 這是頗常見現象，不僅在醫療情況下，就是日常生活中，人類也常用這伎倆。 例如在嘈吵茶樓裏用手機看跑馬，聽覺系統會自動把雜音過濾，而只聽到專注的賽馬結果。 病人見外科醫生時，心裏總會帶着盼望，不想動手術是人之常情。外科醫生往往會按病情給病人選擇，其中包括即時動手術，或觀察一段時間再考慮手術。 對於可治癒的早期肺癌，手術不可或缺；但當病人啟動了那「選擇性聆聽」時，耳邊便只會留下「不用即時動手術」這半句話，再加上個人演繹，便在腦海說服自己「完全不用動手術」。 這人類腦袋的特異功能，對美滿婚姻功不可沒！ Source link
