BWhen I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. But the only thing that wasntvery fun about it was th at he could catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything. I usually gotpretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, youhave to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “Im not a fish!” Ididnt know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what afish does?As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some bookson fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. Ilearned 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, wateris usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish dont have any eyelids( 眼皮) andthe sun huts their eyes The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding andcatching them.When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “Weall need to think like sales people.” But it didnt completely make sense. My dad never once said,“If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need tothink like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people mucholder and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It isnot 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 authors 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 daysB. in deep water on cloudy daysC. in shallow water under sunlightD. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. After entering the business world, the author found _.A. it easy to think like a customerB. his fathers fishing advice inspiringC. his first bosss sales ideas reasonableD. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. This passage most likely comes from _.A. a fishing guideB. a popular sales bookC. a novel on childhood D. a millionaires biographyCDaniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes its important to distinguish televisionsinfluences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems itdoesnt really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability to think and tounderstand 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, childrenlearn 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 anddo something in another room.Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. Butaccording to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to readingability. TV doesnt take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts ofrecreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents educationalbackground have a stronger influence on a childs reading. “A childs reading ability is bestpredicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ ( 智商) scores andaffects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact,research suggests that its the other way around. “If youre smart young, youll watch less TVwhen youre older,” Anderson says. Yet, peopleof 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 conventionallybelieved, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering otherinfluences.36. By watching TV, children learn _.A. images through wordsB. more than explicit meaningsC. more about images than wordsD. little about peoples psychology37. An educational program is best watched by a child _.A. on his ownB. with other kidsC. with his parentsD. with his teachers38. Which of the following is most related to childrens reading ability?A. Radio-listeningB. Television-watchingC. Parents reading listD. Parents educational background39. Anderson believed that _.A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TVC. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TVD. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school40. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To advise on the educational use of TV.B. To describe TVs harmful effects on children.C. To explain traditional views on TV influences.D. Topresent Andersons unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class hadunique 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.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of publicopinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreedthat class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp classdifferences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an importantpart of British society. Britain seems to have a love ofstratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a personspeaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice soundinglike a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accentsounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed 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, asimilar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed someregional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that Britishattitudes 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 adoptsome regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becomingunnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though amiddle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality ofa working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain _.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a persons classD. people regard themselves socially diff
