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 hurts 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. I will show you how in the following chapters. 41. Why was the author upset in the 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. 42. 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. 43. 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 44. 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 45. 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 B If you exhibit positive characteristics such as honesty and helpfulness, the chances are that you will be thought as a good-looking person, for a new study has found that the perception(认知) of physical attractiveness is influenced by a person's personality.3 The study, which was led by Gary W. Lewandowski, has found that people who exhibit negative characteristics, such as unfairness and rudeness, appear to be less physically attractive to observers. In the study, the participants viewed photographs of opposite-sex individuals and rated them for attractiveness before and after being provided with information about their personalities. After personality information was received, participants also rated the probability of each individual's becoming a friend and a dating partner. Information on personality was found to significantly change the probability, showing that cognitive(认知的) processes modify(修改) judgments of attractiveness. " Thinking a person as having a desirable personality makes the person more suitable in general as a close relationship partner of any kind, " said Lewandowski. The findings show that a positive personality leads to greater expectation of becoming friends, which leads to greater expectation of becoming romantic partners and, finally, to being viewed as more physically attractive. The findings remained consistent regardless of how" attractive" the individual was formerly thought to be or of the participants' current relationship status. " This research provides a positive outcome by reminding people that personality goes a long way toward determining your attractiveness; it can even change people's impressions of how good-looking you are, " said Lewandowski. 46. In the study the participants were required to . A. try to make friends with each other B. try to prove positive characters make people more attractive C. exhibit negative characters such as unfairness and rudeness D. rate one's attractiveness by photos before and after knowing her or his personality 47. What's the CORRECT order of how cognitive processes modify judgments of attractiveness? a. find a person with a positive personality b. view the person more physically attractive c. want to make friends with the person d. want to be his/ her romantic partner A. a→c→d→b B. d→c→b→a C. c→b→a→d D. a→d→c→b 48. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage? A. The research reminds people to pay more attention to the personality. B. Personality can change people's impressions of one's appearance. C. The judgment of one's attractiveness always stays unchanged. D. Positive personality may lead to more friends. 49. The passage is written in a (n) tone. A. subjective B. objective C. sceptical D. negative 50. Who are the intended readers of this passage? A. People with positive characteristics. B. Good-looking people. C. People with negative characteristics. D. General people. C Looking for a new weight loss plan? Try living on top of a mountain. Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes, so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. A handful of studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl of the University Hospital of Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich wondered how the mountain air would affect overweight individuals if they weren't doing any more physical activity than usual. Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 overweight men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around2,970 meters near the Austrian border. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones linked to appetite and fatness. At the end of the week, the men, whose mean weight starting out was 105kg, had lost on average about 15kg. The men's blood pressure also dropped,which the researchers believed was due to weight lost.4 Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes, and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual—— about 700calories fewer per day. Lippl also notes that because their consumption was being recorded, they may have been more self-conscious about what they ate. Regardless,eating less accounts for just 1 kg of the 15 kg lost, says Lippl. He thinks the increased metabolic (新陈代谢) rate, which was measured, also contributed to weight loss but cannot separate the different effects with the given data. Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist at the University of Glamorgan, UK, who recently lost 11 kg during a3-month expedition to the Andes in Chile. Unfortunately, for the average person there is no treatment that can resemble living at high altitude, says Lippl. The only alternative is hypobaric chamber, which exposes subjects to low oxygen and isn't practical as a treatment. He says, half-jokingly, “If fat people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountain.” 51. What contributes the most to one's heart rates according to the first paragraph? A. our bodyweight B. the amount of oxygen provided C. the rates of our breathing D. the consumption of energy 52. Hormones are tested in the research because they can affect . A. one's bodyweight B. one's blood pressure C. one's way of living D. one's metabolic rate 53. What was found about the 20 overweight men in the process of the research? A. They controlled what to eat self-consciously. B. They lost appetite because of lack of physical activity. C. They took in much fewer calories than usual. D. They were provided with a healthier diet than before. 54. Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes? A. He lost much weight in the high altitude Andes. B. He found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes. C. He researched the related subject in the Andes. D. He experimented with the new weight loss plan in the mountain of Zugspitze. 55. In what manner does Lippl talk about the way of losing weight by spending holidays on mountains? A. casual B. inaccurate C. uncertain D. confident D Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness. We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond. Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm. Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble. Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs. Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media. Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards,or large dogs, disappear with age. Those relating to personal failure and ridicule from others remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome. Children's fears are often small, but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed as trivial. They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child. Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them. Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce, a teacher who“shouted at me”, people with guns, bullies, big boys, or“making fun of me” top the list of childhood fears. We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening, but it is essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment. Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease pain of these fears. Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears. This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope. With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain self-confidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with. 56. According to Paragraph 2, we can know that fears in young children . A. only center on frightening animals B. can make sure of their safety C. are not born but learned D. need special help to deal with 57. The underlined word in Para.3 probably means . A. abnormal B. unacceptable C. imaginary D. not worth considering 58. In dealing with children's fears, the final goal of the parents is to . A. develop children's ability to treat their fears on their own B. let children know about the nature of fear C. create an environment where there is nothing to fear D. stop unpleasant experiences happening to children 59. From the passage we can learn that . A. children should avoid the media to reduce their fear B. some childhood fears may have a lasting influence C. fears can be judged according to the environment D. children with similar fears can communicate easily 60. What's the best title for this passage? A. How to Overcome Children's Fears B. Children's Fears C. The Kind of Children's Fears D.
