Read the extract carefully and answer the following questions :

As an example, when I go to the cinema I find myself in a hopeless fog, and after two or three minutes I have to turn to my wife for enlightenment. I whisper : 'Is this the same girl as the one we saw at the beginning?" And she whispers back: "No there are three girls in this film—a tall blonde, a short blonde, and a medium-sized brunette. Call them A, B and C. The hero is that man who takes his hat off when he comes indoors. He is going to fall in love with girls B, C, A in that order." And so it proves to be. There you have a mind which has trained itself to work in high gearthough as a matter of fact it can work in other gears just as well. But my point is that most of my follow-patients in the cinema do think fast enough to keep up comfortably with rapid changes of scene and action. They think much faster than people did thirty years ago: possibly because those who do not think fast in the High street now a days may not get another chance in this world think at world to think at all.
