12．-Hi，Tom．Do you still smoke？
-_______．It's three years since I smoked．（　　）
A．No，I don'tB．Yes，I do
C．Not too muchD．Oh，yes，but I wish I didn't

分析 --你好，Tom．你还在吸烟吗？
--不，没有．我已经戒烟三年了．

解答 答案：A．
根据后面的句子It's three years since I smoked可知Tom已经三年不吸烟了，It is+段时间+since…表示"从…起已有多长时间了"，如果该从句的谓语动词是延续性动词作，从句必须作否定翻译．另如：It is three years since he worked there．自从他不在那儿工作以来，已经三年了．故选A．

点评 It is+段时间+since…表示"从…起已有多长时间了"．
用法：since从句中常用一般过去时，若从句中是持续性动词的一般过去时，则表示该动作结束有多长时间了．如：It is three years since he smoked．他不吸烟已有3年了．
试比较：
It is three years since he began to smoke．
It is three years since he has smoked．两句均意为：他吸烟已有3年了．

3．When I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．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 huts 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 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．

1．My business has to come before sleep
The moment I fall into bed at around 10.30pm，I'm dead to the world…until-ping!-it's 3a．m．and I'm wide awake．
I instantly check my phone and spend the next 40minutes in bed （25）answering （answer） emails on my computer．By 4 a．m．，my brain is in overdrive and there is only one thing for it：to get up and start working．
I know most people are foggy at this time，but I find the early morning to be （26）a period of great creativity．I get more done in those few hours than the rest of the day，（27）when I'm constantly interrupted．
People ask （28）how I find time to run a business，prepare presentations，write books，network with clients and raise a family．Well，this is the answer：by having only four-and-a-half hours of sleep．
Yes，I probably （29）could just about do everything if I got up at 6.30a．m．，but it would mean working in the evening when I need to spend time with my family．I have lots of friends with the same problem．We have what we jokingly call"Insomniacs（失眠症患者） Group"on Facebook，where we chat with each other in the middle of the night．It has become a real way （30）to friendship，and I'd miss it if we didn't have that time to chat．
While I'm often perfectly happy starting my day at 3a．m．，sometimes，（31）if/when I'm tired，I feel annoyed with myself．Why can't I just switch off？But then I don't want to either．There are so many things I have to do，and a 3a．m．start is the only way （32）to achieve （achieve） everything．
