Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box havent even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ” Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box. “You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said. “Yes, youre right. People like something rare.” Peter agreed, “I cant imagine there being very many unopened boxes of this game still around 40 years later.” “Dont forget to tell me if you sell it.” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem.” Peter said. After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldnt find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various 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 you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000.

B When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my dad. 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 (敏感的) 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 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 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 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.56. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine? A. His father did not teach him fishing. B. His father was not patient with him. C. He could not catch a fish. D. He could not influence a fish as his father did.57. What did the authors father really mean? A. To read about fish. B. To understand what fish think. C. To learn fishing by oneself. D. To study fishing in many ways.58. 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 waterside trees. D. in shallow water under sunlight59. After entering the business world, the author found _. A. his fathers fishing advice inspiring B. it easy to think like a customer C. his first bosss sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people60. This passage most likely comes from _. A. a fishing guide B. a millionaires biography C. a novel on childhood D. a popular sales book C Today, we are told, children dont spend enough time in the fresh air. Many of them are addicted to a screen either on a computer or a TVthey seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature. But now 400 organizations in the UK, from playgroups to the National Health Service, are encouraging children to have some“wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hide and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if they live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or the park. Children often need a helping hand from mum and dad. They need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says,“We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids development, independence and creativity, by giving wild time ago”. So despite the complicated world that young people grow up in now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing“natures playground” is what modern children need. David Bond from Project Wild Thing says“We need to make more space for wild time in childrens daily routine, freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”. This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, its made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outdoors and reliving your childhood. Theres no age limit on enjoying yourself!61. What is the best title of the text? A. Benefits of wild time B. Wild time for children C. More space for children D. Adventures of children62.

Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4 ? A. This generation of kids have no freedom. B. Adults value outdoor activities. C. The present world is complicated. D. Modem children need wild time. 65. The last paragraph suggests that _. A. people like recalling the past B. people at any age can enjoy wild time C. it is too late for adults to enjoy nature D. it is out of date to go outdoors D As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parentsefforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is.” The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are its the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”66.The writers purpose in writing the text is to _. A. show the relationship between parents and children B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table C. give in
