Do you still remember the unopened word game?” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “ Oh, hi!” “ I ve got something for you,” Peter said. “ I sold the game and made $1,000.

24、h many fish while I couldn t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “ Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish” , I remember being even more upset then because, “ I m not a fish!” I didn t know how to think like a fish. Besides,
25、 I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal a
26、nd therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don t have any eyelids(眼皮 ) and the sun huts their eyes The more I understood fish,
27、the more I became effective at finding and catching them When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “ We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “ If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a
28、 fisherman.” What he said was, “ You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following ch
29、apters. 31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine? A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was not patient with him. C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence a fish as his father did. 32. What did the author s father really mean? A. To read about fi

32、. a popular sales book C. a novel on childhood 第 5 页 D. a millionaire s biography C Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it s important to distinguish television s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn t really cause, overloo
33、king our own roles in shaping children s minds. One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影 像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what
34、they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front o
35、f the set and do something in another room. Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn t take the place of reading for most children; i
36、t takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents educational background have a stronger influence on a child s reading. “ A child s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says. Traditional wisdom
37、 also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商 ) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it s the other way around. “ If you re smart young, you ll watch less TV when you re older,” Anderson says.
38、 Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be c
39、ondemned without considering other influences. 36. By watching TV, children learn _. A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings C. more about images than words D. little about people s psychology 37. An educational program is best watched by a child _. A. on his own B. with other kids C.
40、 with his parents D. with his teachers 38. Which of the following is most related to children s reading ability? A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching C. Parents reading list D. Parents educational background 39. Anderson believed that _. A. the more a child watches TV , the smarter he is 第 6 页
41、B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advise on the educational use of TV . B. To describe TV s harmful ef
42、fects on children. C. To explain traditional views on TV influences. D. To present Anderson s unconventional ideas. D It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics. In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the decline of clas
43、s and classless society in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class. But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agree
44、d that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification. One unchanging aspe
45、ct of a British persons class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded educated and soft. The accents pl
46、aced at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的） city accents. These accents were seen as common and ugly. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the leas
47、t. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice. In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnot
48、iced. However, the 1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live like common people they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life. 41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _. A. it is time to end class di
49、stinction B. most people belong to middle class C. it is easy to recognize a person s class D. people regard themselves socially different 42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. A. variety B. most people belong to middle class C. authority D. qualification 43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as
