7．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…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．

4．Q&A
Question：I have recently got an important position in my company．One of my new tasks is to make monthly progress reports on my department in front of other senior officials．During my first meeting，I presented and then waited to be questioned．（36）DMy first reaction was to answer defensively．Later，I realized that I shouldn't have felt that way．But how can I keep cool and effectively answer questions in this kind of situation？
Answer：Congratuations on your new position!Presenting in front of your coworkers  is a hard task in itself，and it comes much more difficult when a question-and-answer period is required．Question-and-answer periods are a great way to clarify the message and strengthen key points．（37）C．

On Friday，our teacher told us that there would an English corner in front of our teaching building．I set about soon after the last class in the afternoon．
To my joy，the English corner had just been on for a few minute．I joined them on their talk．At first，I was afraid that my English was so poor and limit that I couldn't follow them or make myself understand．I was also afraid that anyone might laugh at me．But a smiling face here or an encouraging nod there soon put me at ease．Though I speak to them only in simple English that day，I believe in future I will make a greater progress．

6．Henry Ford，the famous U．S．inventor and car manufacturer，once said，"The business of America is business．''By this he meant that the U．S．way of life is based on the values of the business world．
    Few would argue with Ford's statement．A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business．For example，nearly every newspaper has a business section，in which the deals and projects，finances and management，stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily．In addition，business news can appear in every other section．Most national news has an important financial aspect to it．Welfare，foreign aid，the federal budget，and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by  business．Moreover，business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places．The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as"the entertainment industry''or"show business．''
    The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity（繁荣） that business has brought to U．S．1ife．One of the most important reasons why so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job．Jobs are produced in abundance because the U．S．economic system is driven by competition．People believe that this system creates more wealth，more jobs，and a materially better way of life．
    The negative side of Henry Ford's statement，however，can be  seen when the word business is taken to mean big business．And the term big business--referring to the biggest companies，is seen in opposition to labor．Throughout U．S．history working-people have had to fight hard for higher wages，better working conditions，and the fight to form unions．Today，many of the old labor disputes（分歧） are over，but there is still some employee anxiety．Downsizing--the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high--creates feelings of insecurity for many．

61．The United States is a typical countryB．
A．which encourages free trade at home and abroad
B．where people's chief concern is how to make money
C．where all businesses are managed scientifically
D．which normally works according to the federal budget
62．The influence of business in the U．S．is evidenced by the fact thatD．
A．most newspapers are run by big businesses
B．even public organizations concentrate on working for profits
C．Americans of all professions know how to do business
D．even arts and entertainment are regarded as business
63．According to the passage，immigrants choose to settle in the U．S．，dreaming thatD．
A．they can start profitable businesses there
B．they can be more competitive in business
C．they will make a fortune overnight there
D．they will find better chances of employment
64．Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively becauseD．
A．working people are discouraged to fight for their fights
B．there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists
C．public services are not run by the federal government
D．there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor
65．A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA．
A．reduction in the number of employees   
B．improvement of working conditions
C．fewer disputes between labor and management

4．Batteries，as you may have figured out by now，have a few problems，actually．They don't hold nearly enough power．They're very expensive．And above all，they're explosive．That's a real problem for Samsung．
   Isn't anyone going to try to invent a better battery？Fortunately，a Tufts University professor named Mike Zimmerman，is breathtakingly close to cracking the powerful-cheap-safe battery problem．
    Inside every lithium-ion battery on earth，there's a positive electrode （阳极） and a negatively charged one．They're separated by a thin sheet．The rest is filled up with a liquid called the electrolyte（电解质）．
    When you charge the battery，positively charged ions（离子）flow through that liquid from the negative side to the positive side．Then，as you use the battery to power your gadget，they flow back again．
    The key here is that electrolyte juice．It's easily lighted．What Zimmerman has done is pretty amazing：He's created a battery that gets rid of the liquid．In its place：A special plastic film，solid and not flammable（易燃的）．Yet it allows the free flow of the ions，just as the electrolyte does．Zimmerman's plastic doesn't catch fire even if you try to light it with a lighter．
    We call them lithium ion batteries because they do not，in fact，use actual lithium metal．That's too bad，because lithium metal batteries can store at least twice as much power!The only reason why we don't use lithium-metal batteries is that they're even more dangerous than lithium ion．
    But if there's no flammable liquid，there's no risk of fire．So Zimmerman's batteries do use actual lithium metal，and therefore hold twice as much charge．Imagine：Three days of life on every phone charge instead of one and a half．Four hundred miles in an electric car instead of 200．And so on．It's a big，big deal．

41．Why do Zimmerman's invention use actual lithium metal？B
A．Lithium metal are not easy to light．
B．Zimmerman's batteries include no liquid．
C．Lithum-metal batteries are safer than lithium-ion．
D．Ordinary batteries use the safe lithium metal．
42．What can we know about Zimmerman's batteries？A
A．They are safe and hold large power．
B．They are risky but store much power．
C．They are unsafe but hold much charge．
D．They are unsafe but convenient．
43．What can we know from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 7？D
A．We can make a big deal with Zimmerman．
B．Zimmerman's batteries sound nice but unrealistic．
C．Zimmerman wants to make a deal with producers．
D．Zimmerman's batteries will make a difference to our life．
44．How is the passage mainly developed？C
A．By giving descriptions．
B．By listing examples．
C．By making comparisons．
D．By following time order．
45．What does the passage mainly present？D
A．An introduction to Tufts professor．
B．Information on using the old type of batteries．
C．The author's interview with Tufts professor．
D．Tufts professor's invention of a non-exploding battery．
