But the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldnt 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, “Im not a fish!”I didnt 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 dont 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 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 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.4. Why was the author upset in the fishing trips when he was nine?A. He could not influence a fish as his father did.B.

After entering the business world, the author found .A.his first bosss sales ideas reasonable B.it difficult to sell services to poor peopleC. it easy to think like a customer D.his fathers fishing advice inspiringC.When Steve Jobs was born on Febuary24,1955, in San Francisco , California, his unmarried mother decided to put him for adoption because she wanted a girl. 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. After Steve Jobs graduated from high school, he went to college but decided to drop out because it was so expensive that he had to sleep on the floor in his friends rooms. At 20, he and a friend(Steve Wozniak) started a company in a garage on April 1, 1976. Jobs named their company -Apple in memory of a happy summer he had spent as an orchard (果园) in Oregon.After 10 years of hard time and failures, starting from two kids working in a garage, Apple computer eventually grew into a big company with over 4000 employees. At 30, Jobs , however, was fired from the company he co-founded. But after he had to leave the company, Apple was under heavy pressure from rival (对手) Microsoft and in 1996 posted billions of dollars in losses. Apple needed Steve Jobs and he was appointed as Apple CEO in1997. Under his leadership, Apple returned to profitability and introduced new products such as the iPhone and the iPod.

Attitude is everything.DIts easy to blame technology for having damaged our social abilities, since most people feel more comfortable chatting online than meeting face to face. But this is actually a “chicken-and-egg” problem. Its 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 cant learn non-verbal expression of feelings from a screen in the way you can learn it from face-to-face communication,” Yalda Uhls, a researcher at the University of California said. “If youre not practicing face-to-face communication, you could be losing important social skills.”A study in 2020 found that people unlocked their phones more than 100 times on average per day. Constantly checking your phone-a symptom of the phenomenon called FOMO (fear of missing out)-is also distracting people from face-to-face communication.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 its 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.WhatsYaldaUhlsopinionononlinecommunication?A.Ithelpspeopleconveymoremeaning.B.Itcanreplaceface-to-facecommunication.C.Itcausespeopletolosesocialskills. D.Ithasbothadvantagesanddisadvantages.13. Whats the meaning of the underlined word in the second paragraph?A. preventing B. protecting C. attracting D. confusing14.

Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.Ask the other person to recite and repeat.You can let other people help you remember their names. After youve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. 17Admit you dont know.Admitting that you cant remember someones name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “Im working to remember name better. 18 What is it again?”Use associations.Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible. 19When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.Go early.Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. 20 And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others-an automatic review for you.A.Here are some ways to master it.B. Remember a name at a time.C. Thats fewer names for you to remember.D. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue.E. Most people will be pleased with your hard work.F. Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.G. Most people will be pleased by the effort youre making to learn their names.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完型填空 (共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）Once there were two neighbors, one rich and the other poor.
