16、 game fans looking forvarious 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!”“Ive got something for

21、ould catch many fish while I couldnt catch anything.I usually got pretty upset and keptasking him why.He always answered,“Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish”,Iremember being even more upset then because,“Im not a fish!”I didnt know how to think like a fish.Besides,I reason

22、ed,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.AndI even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings.I learned that a fish is acold-blooded animal and therefore is v

23、ery sensitive to water temperature.That is why fish prefer shallow waterto deep water because the former is warmer.Besides,water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in theshade.Yet,fish dont have any eyelids(眼皮)and the sun huts their eyes The more I understood fish,themore I became effective a

24、t finding and catching them.When I grew up and entered the business world,I remember hearing my first boss say,“We all need tothink like sales people.”But it didnt completely make sense.My dad never once said,“If you want to catch afish you need to think like a fisherman.”What he said was,“You need

25、to think like a fish.”Years later,withgreat efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me,I gradually learned whatwe 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 tri

29、hologist,believes its important to distinguish televisions influences onchildren from those of the family.We tend to blame TV,he says,for problems it doesnt really cause,overlooking our own roles in shaping childrens minds.One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a childs ability t

30、o think and to understand theworld.While watching TV,children do not merely absorb words and images(影像).Instead,they learn bothexplicit and hidden meanings from what they see.Actually,children learn early the psychology of characters inTV shows.Furthermore,as many teachers agree,children understand

31、far more when parents watch TV withthem,explaining new words and ideas.Yet,most parents use an educational program as a chance to park theirkids 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 accordi

32、ng toAnderson,the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability.TV doesnt take theplace of reading for most children;it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation,such as listening to the radioand playing sports.Things like parents educational background have a stron

33、ger influence on a childs reading.“A childs 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 schoolperformance.But here,too,Anderson notes that no studies have proved it.In fact,r

34、esearch suggests that its theother way around.“If youre smart young,youll watch less TV when youre 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,byshowing that televisio

35、n promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed,Anderson suggeststhat television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.36.By watching TV,children learn _.A.images through wordsB.more than explicit meaningsC.more about images than wordsD.little about peoples psy

36、chology37.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.Anders

37、on believed that _.A.the more a child watches TV,the smarter he isB.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

38、educational use of TV.B.To describe TVs harmful effects on children.C.To explain traditional views on TV influences.D.To present Andersons unconventional ideas.DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction.Each class had uniquecharacteristics.In recent years,many writers

39、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 public opinion found 90percent of people still placing themselves in

40、 particular class;73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part ofBritish society;and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences.Thus,class may not be culturallyand politically obvious,yet it remains an important part of British society.Britain seems to have a love ofstratific

41、ation.One unchanging aspect of a British persons class position is accent.The words a person speaks tell her orhis class.A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader wasviewed as the most attractive voice,Most people said this accent sounded educated and

42、soft.The accentsplaced at the bottom in this study,on the other hand,were regional（地区的）city accents.These accents wereseen as common and ugly.However,a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upsidedown and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English a

43、s the least.This suggests thatBritish 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 regionalaccents,in order to hide their class origins.This is an indication of class becoming unno

44、ticed.However,the1995 pop song Common People puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may want to live likecommon 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 distincti
