Decision-thinking is not unlike poker—it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think 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, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), which would even puzzle (困惑)best poker 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" in paragraph 3?
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 factors

How often does your child pick up a book, a magazine, and other printed materials simply for the pleasure of read? Experts say a young person’s interest in independent reading seem to be important to long-term success.
However, not all children will natural love reading. So what should parents do? First, understanding independent reading is not guided or sharing reading. You may be present in the room with your child, but will not be engaged to reading the book for your child. Instead, the child should pick up a book on his or her own, if he or she can read all the words or not. Then, set a good example for your child by becoming an independent reader yourself. If possibly, build your child’s personal library.

Dear Peter,
I am writing to ask that you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, hopefully, a girl in her early twenties, and with interests similarly to mine. In my mind, he is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. However, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been kept one at home for some time. With such a pen friend, I hope I can share with her our experiences in traveling, taking care pets, or whatever we have in common. I believed I will improve my English by doing so and learn more about her countries. I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
Best regards,
Right in the heart of America — in Smith Center, Kansas, to be exact — high school football coach Roger Barta glanced at his notes as he stood among the sea of players gathered before him.
It was 6:30 a.m. on August 18, 2008, the first day of practice for this edition of the Redmen and the 31st opening day of the season for Barta, longtime coach and former math teacher at Smith Center High School. Barta wore a red T-shirt covering a ball-shaped belly(腹部).
Barta began with basic instructions: Drink lots of water. Fine advice. But what Coach Barta laid out next was the essential game plan — life lessons that many people consider his greatest strength. “Someone here is the best, and someone is the worst,” he said. “It’s time to forget about that. Let’s respect each other. Thus, we’ll like each other and then love each other. That’s when, together, we’ll become champions.”
He paused for a moment. When he continued, he spoke with even more fervor (热诚) to the 56 young men sitting before him. “One more thing, guys. We don’t talk about winning and losing. We talk about getting a little better every day, about being the best we can be, about being a team. And when we do that, winning and losing take care of themselves.”
Over the next four months, the Redman went on to beat each competitor, winning another perfect season. As their coach, Barta has created a 289-58 record, eight Kansas state championships, and 67 victories. In high school football, it’s the longest win in the nation. Through it all, Coach Barta kept his word: Not once did he ever say that a game was do-or-die.
“None of this is really about football,” he had explained to me back in 2007, convincingly (令人信服地)enough to force me to move to Smith Center from New York City with my wife, Mary, and three-year-old son, Jack, so I could write about him for a year. “What I hope we’re doing is sending kids into life who know that every day means something.”
1. According to the passage, we learn that Barta______.
A. was once a teacher
B. is a basketball coach
C. works in the university
D. has been a coach for 40 years
2.In the third paragraph, Barta stressed the importance of______.
A. health B. competition
C. combination D. success
3.In Barta’s opinion, which is important for a player?
A. Winning the game.
B. Learning from failure.
C. Trying his or her best.
D. Caring about the result.
4.The fifth paragraph mainly talks about______.
A. Barta’s motto
B. Barta’s training methods
C. Barta’s attitude towards life
D. Barta and the Redmen’s achievements
