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, 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 harm 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 salespeople. " 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 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.

So in the middle of the night, his mother called a lawyer named Paul Jobs and said, “We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?” But his mother told his future parents to promise that they would send Jobs to college.

But this is actually a ,chicken-and-egg“ problem. It' s possible that social networking is damaging our ability to socialize offline. As people rely more and more on typed words and email, their emotional sensitivity is decreasing. "You can' t learn non-verbal expression of feelings from a screen in the way you can learn it from face-to-face communication, v Yalda Uhls, a researcher at the University of California said. "If you' re not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills. ”A study in 2013 found that people unlocked their phones more than 100 times on average per day. Constantly checking your phonea symptom of the phenomenon calledF0M0 (fear of missing out)is also distracting people from face-to-facecommunication.But for people who already suffer from social anxiety, the Internet is a safe barrier(障碍) for them to function normally. Behind that barrier, they feel more comfortable saying what they want without the risk of embarrassment. For them it' s much easier to look at a phone than to look at someone in the eye. Social media may even help with offline communication. In a study, US teenagers who are afraid to talk to the opposite sex were asked to approach a boy or a girl online first before talking to them in person. "Once they felt like they were doing okay online, then they could continue the conversation face to face in a more comfortable state, “ a researcher said. "The anxiety was lessened by using technology.”12. What' s Yalda Uhls' opinion on online communication?A.It helps people convey more meaning.B. It can replace face-to-face communication.C. It causes people to lose social skills.D.It has both advantages and disadvantages.13.

They can say whatever they want.B. It can avoid much embarrassment.C. They find it dangerous to see a phone.D. It can free them from social anxiety. 15.from socialAccording to the last paragraph, how do teenagers benefitmedia?A. They learn to chat with others online.B. They find it easy to talk to the opposite sex.C. They get less nervous in offline communication.D. They make more friends online.第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。Remembering names is an important social skill. 16 Recite and repeat in conversation.When you hear a person' s name, repeat it.
