Peter loved to
shop used articles. Almost a
month ago,
he bought popular word game
that used
little
piec
es of wood with
different letters on them. As he was purchasing
it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game
box haven’t even been opened yet. That
might be worth some money. ”
Peter examined the box, and, sure
enough, it was completely covered in factory-
sealed plastic. And he
saw a date of
1973 on the back of the box.
“You
should put that up for auction
(
拍卖
) on the Internet, and
see what happens.
”
the
salesgirl said.
“Yes, you’re right.
People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I
can’t imagine there being
very many
unopened boxes of this game still
around 40 years later.”
“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell
it.” the salesgirl smiled.
“No problem.” Peter said.
After he got home, Peter went online to
several auction websites looking for his game. But
he
couldn’t
find
it.
Then
he
typed
in
the
name
of
the
word
game
and
hit
Search.
The
search
result
was
543
websites
containing information about the
changes of the game. Over the years, the game had
been produced using
letters in
different sizes and game boards in different
colors. He also found some lists of game fans
looking
for various versions of the
game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them
what he had.
Two weeks later, Peter
went back to the shop.
“Hello. 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
$$1,000.
Thank
you
for
your
suggestion.” He handed her three $$ 100
bills.
“Wow!” the salesgirl
cried out.
“Thank you, I
never expected it.”
26.
Which of the following best describes Peter’s word
game?
A. It was made around
40 years ago.
B. It had game boards in

fans from _________.

29. What happened at the end of the
story?

reward.
B. The salesgirl became Peter’s
friend.
C. Peter returned
the word game for $$ 1,000.

When I w
as nine years old, I
loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only
thing that wasn’t very fun
about it was
that he could catch 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, 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
and
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,
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 wan
t to catch a
fish you need to think like a
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
chapters.
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 fish.
B. To
learn fishing by oneself.
C. To
understand what fish think.
D. To study
fishing in many ways.
33. According to
the author, fish are most likely to be found
_________.
A. in deep water on sunny
days
B. in deep water on cloudy days
C. in shallow water under sunlight
D. in shallow water under waterside
trees.
34. After entering the business
world, the author found _________.
A.
it easy to think like a customer
B. his
father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first boss’s sales ideas
reasonable
D. it difficult
to sell services to poor people
35.
This passage most likely comes from _________.
A. a fishing guide
B. a
popular sales book
C. a
novel on childhood
D. a millionaire’s
biography

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
doe
sn’t
really
cause,
overlooking 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 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 of 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; it 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 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.
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
condemned 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. 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
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 effects on
children.
C. To explain
traditional views on TV influences.
D.
To present Anderson’s unconventional
ideas.

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 class' and 'classless society' in
Britain.
And in modern day consumer
society everyone is considered to be middle class.
