of wood with different letters on them. as he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “uh, look, the game box hasnt 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 (拍賣) 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

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 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 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.25. why was the author upset in 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.26. what did the authors 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.27. according to the author, fish are most likely to be found _.a. in deep water on sunny days b. in deep water on cloudy daysc. in shallow water under sunlight d. in shallow water under

chris lewis d. liz payne dthe freezing northeast hasnt been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to sarasota, florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. i left for the land of warmth and vitamin c(維生素c), thinking of beaches and orange trees. when we touched down to blue skies and warm air, i sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the sarasota farmers market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. the market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along north lemon and state streets. baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the java dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, ive refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. no matter how attractive they look in the store, once i get them home theyre dry, hard, and tasteless. but i homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the browns grove farms stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. these were the real deal- and at that moment, i realized that the best part of sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in new york i wouldnt be experiencing again for months. delighted as i was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when i learned that browns grove farm is one of the suppliers for jack dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the sarasota ritz carlton, where- luckily for me- i was planning to have dinner that very night. without even seeing the menu, i knew id be ordering every tomato on it.32. what did the author think of her winter life in new york?a. exciting. b. boring. c. relaxing. d. annoying.33. what made the authors getting up late early worthwhile?a. having a swim. b. breathing in fresh air. c. walking in the morning sun. d. visiting a local farmers market.34. what can we learn about tomatoes sold in new york in winter?a. they are soft. b. they look nice. c. they taste great. d. they are juicy.35. what was the author going to that evening?a. go to a farm. b. check into a hotel. c. eat in a restaurant. d. buy fresh vegetables.第2節(jié)
