    My father is a smart man. He spent many years of his life listening to people’s arguments, first as assistant district lawyer and then as a judge. My dad knows rubbish rhetoric when he hears it.
    One of his favorite phrases is: “If you don’t have anything smart to say, then don’t say it at all.” Yet, for all of his legal training and life experience, he can’t help but keep talking about the Mega Millions jackpot.
    We all know the odds(几率)of winning the jackpot this evening with one ticket are extraordinarily low ... 1 in 175, 711, 536, to be exact. Still, people go out and buy hundreds of tickets with the hopes of becoming wealthier beyond their dreams. Why? There are two possible explanations for this “irrationality”(不理智).
    One idea is that the way we calculate odds in our heads has nothing to do with mathematical odds in the traditional sense. We don’t go to the mathematical odds table and say, “Well, this would be a terrible investment. I think I’m better off putting my money in the bank!” Rather, it has everything with the ability to picture an event happening.
    My father, for instance, watches the news every night and sees people winning the lottery(彩票). Therefore, he thinks the chance of him winning the lottery is much higher than they actually are.
    The second thought is that the expected effect of playing cannot be represented merely by the odds. My father and, I’m sure, others get a thrill from the mere idea of winning. He loves imagining what it would be like to actually win and losing doesn’t really affect him. Sure, he’s disappointed, but it’s “better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” When you combine the utility of thinking you can win with the utility of actually winning (no matter how small the chance of that occurring), it’s worth it for many people to spend the one dollar on a ticket.
    My analysis is that both factors are at play in taking a chance on the lottery. My father and others really do underestimate the odds of winning, but the thrill of participation is not denied by a realistic assessment of the odds. Still, I would probably put my finger on the scale for the first explanation.
    All told, a review of the odds of other events happening confirms that there just aren’t many events that occur with less frequency than your winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Look at the graph below, you may understand some:

    In many ways, it’s like the lottery, something that features often on television and about which people fantasize, but that rarely happens.
    So, when you watch, along with my Pa, to see if your lucky number is drawn this evening, keep in mind three things: that your number almost certainly won’t come up; that you are still going to have fun; and that, finally, a lot of other things are more likely to happen—but getting eaten by a shark isn’t one of them.
    【小题1】It can be learned from the article that ________.

    A．the Mega Millions jackpot is the last lottery to win in the world
    B．a judge in that country can’t talk about lottery because it is illegal
    C．the writer doesn’t buy lottery, for he never hopes to become rich
    D．In spite of little possibility, a lot of people spend money on lottery
    【小题2】The function of the graph is to ________.
    A．show chances that those things take place are fewer
    B．support the writer’s arguments on the lottery tickets
    C．indicate no one can win the Mega Millions jackpot
    D．say shark attack death will seldom happen this year
    【小题3】Which of the following do you think the writer would probably agree with?
    A．If one has mathematical odds, he can win the prize more easily.
    B．Only those who have irrationality buy hundreds of lottery tickets.
    C．The Mega Millions jackpot is very popular in the writer’s country.
    D．Winning lottery is a shortcut to achieve the dream of being rich.
    【小题4】The underlined phrase “at play” in the 7th paragraph most probably means ________.
    A．effectiveB．ridiculousC．contradictoryD．astonishing
    【小题5】What do you think is the best title?

    The girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma(文凭).
    In December, a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan, Hubei Province, an­nounced that it needed five new staff members. Some 120 people applied and took the exam. Ap­plicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least.
    Mei Jing beat everyone in the test and the interview. When a follow-up check was done, however, her education certificate(证书) was discovered to be an unreal one.
    This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers. A dilemma, one might say. If she were hired because of her excellent performance, she still wouldn't have the qualifications on pa­per. But, if she were dropped because she didn't meet the education requirements, they would lose a good worker. Tough problem!
    While Mei's future hangs in the balance, the public having learned of the case got involved. Some people said the Bureau should employ her, since results are the only important thing. “After all, ability is more important than a diploma, ”said one office worker.
    Others, however, have attacked Mei's dishonesty. They said that morality was, after all, more important than talent, especially in the case of a government position. Mei wasn't honest, so she shouldn't be hired.
    But, Shen Ronghua, the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human Resources Institute, tries to be a bit more philosophical.
    “There is still a sort of  'diploma means this'  prejudice among people,” Shen explains, “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”
    So, with this in mind, people may pay little attention to whether someone has real ability or not. They turn to chasing a diploma instead. The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought.
    The conclusion? "China needs a new human resource system. The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma, " Shen says.
    【小题1】What's the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma” in Paragraph Four?

    A．A problem easy to deal with or solve.
    B．A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision.
    C．A difference in two or more statements, ideas, or stories.
    D．Something said or done that is funny.
    【小题2】What can we infer from this news report?
    A．The Civil Administration Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl.
    B．The girl was not employed because of dishonesty.
    C．It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not.
    D．Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl.
    【小题3】What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this”?
    A．A diploma can tell whether a person is honest or not.
    B．A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent.
    C．A diploma is what you get after you finish a course.
    D．A diploma means a job.
    【小题4】 Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news report?
    A．A Girl's Unlucky Experience.B．Unreal Diploma.
    C．Dishonesty Has Been Attacked.D．Can A Diploma Be All There Is.
