Decision-thinking is not unlike poker —it often matters not only what you think. but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think, The mental process (过程) is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards. good thinkers.

    The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes: there are what he called games of perfect information, games like chess where the players can't hide anything or play tricks: they don't win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of imperfect information, like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.

    One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse. Business, politics, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknown able factors (因素), which would even puzzle (困惑) best pokers players. But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.

1．The subject discussed in this text is ________.

    A. the process of reaching decisions

    B. the difference between poker and chess

    C. the secret of making good business plans

    D. the value of information in winning games

2．An important factor in a game of imperfect information is ________.

    A. rules

    B. luck

    C. time

    D. ideas

3．Which of the following can be used in place of “Quite the reverse”?

    A. Quite right.

    B. True enough.

    C. Most unlikely.

    D. Just the opposite.

4．In the writer's opinion, when making business decisions one should ________.

    A. put perfect information before imperfect information

    B. accept the existence of unknown factors

    C. regard business as a game of chess

D. mix known and unknown factor

London---Lazy students can now give up on work altogether as two Oxford University students have made scores of A-grade essays (论文) on the website for students to copy. The essays are on the new website “revise it”. The website includes an “Essay Lab” designed to make cheating (舞弊) as effective and effortless as possible.

阅读下列文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。

Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel, the world's first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

    In two weeks' time Bergqvist's ice creation(作品) will be nothing more than a pool of water, “We don't see it as a big problem,” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

    Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for exhibition. It was so successful that he designed the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1, 000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

    After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing hotel break. “It's great fun.” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

    The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt; it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in,” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”
