When I was nine yean 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 white 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 hum 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.
(1)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.
(2)Why 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.
(3)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
(4)After entering the business world, the author found.
A.it easy to think like a customer

【解析】本文讲述了小时候父亲教他钓鱼的技巧——要钓到鱼就要像鱼一样思考,从中领悟到一个道理:从事商业销售时要像消费者一样去思考。
(1)细节理解。根据第一段的“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”可知,作者感到难过,是因为他捉不到一条鱼,故选A。
(2)推理判断。根据The more I understand fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.“我越了解鱼,我越能有效地找到鱼,抓住鱼。”可知,此处父亲的意思是要我懂得鱼的思考方式,故选C。
(3)推理判断。根据That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water.可知,鱼喜欢在浅水里,不喜欢在深水里,故排除AB两项。根据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可知,鱼喜欢呆在阴凉处,不喜欢呆在阳光直射的地方,故排除C项。D项,水边树下的浅水处是鱼喜欢呆的地方,故此处更有可能发现鱼。故选D。
(4)推理判断。根据I gradually learnt what we all need is to think more like customers. “我逐渐了解我们需要像消费者一样去思考”,这与父亲的“You need to think like a fish”相似,因此,这是父亲的话给他的启发。故选B。

A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential problem has not been removed, it will simply reappear later
Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On many occasions(场合), conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it is not the end of the world.Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.
Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Everyone is waiting for the other to admit he or she is wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It is necessary to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.
Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that makes you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoints or actions, simply asking nicely about them can make a world of difference. Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there is a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappears right there.
Appreciate.Tell them why it is worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it is a great way to move forward.
A. Praise the other part in the conflict
B. Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later.
C. Invite the other person to talk about the situation.
D. Do remember to make an enquiry, not an accusation of any sort.
E. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work
F. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process.
G. Clear thinking is unlikely to happen while an argument continues to boil over.

Driving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers. The robot, which is called “Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)” will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports, remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit. The robot, which sits on the dashboard, is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in collaboration with Volkswagen.
AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day. Cynthia Breazeal, director of MIT's Personal Robots Group, said: “We are developing AIDA to read the driver's mood from facial expression and other cues and respond in a proper way.”
AIDA works by analyzing the driver's mobility patterns, keeping track of common routes and destinations. The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving. Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to their preferred supermarket, suggesting a route that avoids traffic-clogged roads. AIDA might recommend a petrol stop en route if the fuel tank is nearly empty. The robot will also incorporate real-time information about traffic jams, the weather report, commercial activity, tourist attractions, and residential areas.
“In developing AIDA we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion.”
“AIDA can also give you feedback on your driving, helping you achieve more energy efficiency and safer behavior,” Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added.
(1)What is AIDA in this passage?
A.A personal driver.
B.A traffic controller.
C.A traffic indicator.
D.A smart car robot.
(2)What's the most impressive about AIDA according to the passage?
A.It can stay away from traffic jams.
B.It can replace the driver to drive the car.
C.It can interact with the driver.
D.It can help the driver find the way.
(3)From the last paragraph we can know that _______.
A.it's possible to drive a car without any petrol
B.AIDA can help us to become better drivers
C.people can save a lot of energy by driving a car
D.It can help the driver find the way
(4)What would be the best title for the passage?
A.An Intelligent Device for Drivers
B.A New Model of Volkswagen
C.The Cooperation of Two Car Makers
D.Traffic Management in Big Cities
