新浪微博：涵张 weibo.com/rickyhanzhang 序言 序言（一） ——陈起永 “打入” 在我看来， 张涵是中国托福考生的宝贝， 因为他是稀有的甚至是迄今仅有的真正 美国 ETS 托福出题组内部的中国大陆人。凭借他出色的口语和美式思维方式，张涵成为参 与托福出题的中国人，这即使在美国所有的常春藤盟校（包括张涵的母校宾夕法尼亚大学） 及其他美国大学的中国留学生中也是前无古人的创举。 张涵对于中国托福考生的价值就在于，他了解出题者的思路，因为他就是口语考题的 出题者；他了解答题的思路，因为很多答案的得分点是他参与制定的；更为重要的是，他的 思路与其他出题者的思路是一致的。因此，张涵对参加托福考试考生的指导，是绝对权威的。 为了让更多的中国托福考生能够取得好成绩，我一直建议张涵出一本书来惠及更多的 中国学生。由于与 ETS 有保密约定，因此张涵不能透露任何他所出过的题目，但这本书， 却是张涵想到的两全其美方案的结晶：一方面，在这本书中张涵没有透露任何的自己有参 与出题的题目；另一方面，张涵用出题者的逻辑和思路为中国学生提供了新的视角。

were right in front of me the whole time?”). Questions such as “How does vision work?” seem somewhat interesting, but no more interesting than thousands of other questions. It’s like someone asking you whether you want to know about the history of guitar making. “I don’t know; maybe. Is it interesting?” Truthfully, “How does vision work?” is a bad question because it’s too general. In cognitive psychology, as in most fields, the devil is in the details, but that’s where the fun is, too. Vision, attention
