21、Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office. "The railway owes me $12, " she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12. “
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam, "he said politely. "I'll check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt, "he said to her. "Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"
"Yes", she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!"
"That's fine, "said Harry. "My little girl can't swim a bit yet. Of course, she's only three”
"I'm four, "the child said proudly. "I'll be four and a half. "
Harry turned to the mother." I remember your ticket, Madam, "he said. "But you didn't get one for your daughter, did you?"
"Er, well", "the woman looked at the child." I mean … she hasn't started school yet. She's only four. "
"A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child's return ticket to Jersey costs' "let me see … $ 13. 5. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe $1. 5. The law is law, but since the fault (过错) was mine…".

22、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. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids (眼皮) and the sun hurts 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 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.
【1】Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?
A．His father was not patient with him.
B．He could not catch a fish.
C．His father did not teach him fishing.
D．He could not influence a fish as his father did.
【2】What did the author’s father really mean?
A．To read about fish.
B．To learn fishing by oneself.
C．To study fishing in many ways.
D．To understand what fish think.
【3】After entering the business world, the author found ________.
A．it easy to think like a customer
B．his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable
C．his father’s fishing advice inspiring
D．it difficult to sell services to poor people
【4】This passage most likely comes from ________.
A．a popular sales book
B．a fishing guide
C．a novel on childhood
D．a millionaire’s biography
23、How to get better pictures of wildlife
Go on nature observation
Animals make rewarding subjects for photography but are uncooperative models. 【1】. Observation will tell you which flowers attract the most bees, which trees are most popular among birds, and which ponds are frequented by frogs, allowing you to set up your camera at a site that has a good chance of success.
Become a part of the landscape
Rural animals are very likely to be frightened if approached by a person, ruining not only the chance for a great photograph, but also the likelihood of them returning to the same spot again. 【2】 . By contrast, urban animals are more habituated (习惯的) to humans and will probably ignore you if you stay still for long enough.
【3】
Choosing one species to concentrate on is a great way to push yourself. Pick a species that is accessible in your local area, even if it is not the most attractive of creatures. Remember, you’re looking to create great images, not bad images of great animals. Getting to know that species well will improve your field craft skills, and telling its story will naturally suggest different images to try.
Don' t be a fair- weather photographer
Shooting in the middle of the day while the light is bright is pleasant, but rarely produces the best images. 【4】. Getting out after dark also brings other rewards. Many animals are more active at night, and newer cameras with high ISOs are making night photography more accessible than ever. 【5】. See rain as an opportunity to get creative with reflection, as well as documenting behavior you wouldn’t see on a dry day.
A．Focus on one species
B．Remember to use your urban setting
C．Even the wet weather shouldn’t keep you indoors
D．To create great images, it pays to learn about their habits
E．Be careful of wild animals since they can be terribly dangerous
F．Try getting up early when there are fewer people around and the wildlife is braver
G．Therefore, it' s better to choose a secret location and wait for the wildlife to come to you
24、 Multiple studies link music study to academic achievement. But what is it about serious music training that seems to correlate with outsize success in other fields? I put the question to top-flight professionals in industries from tech to finance to media, all of whom had serious past lives as musicians.
The phenomenon extends beyond the math-music association. Strikingly, many high achievers told me music opened up the pathways to creative thinking. And their experiences suggest that music training sharpens other qualities: Collection. The ability to listen. A way of thinking that weaves together disparate ideas. The power to focus on the present and the future simultaneously.
For many of the high achievers I spoke with, music functions as a “hidden language,” as Mr. Wolfensohn calls it, one that enhances the ability to connect disparate or even contradictory ideas. When he ran the World Bank, Mr. Wolfensohn traveled to more than 100 countries, often taking in local performances, which helped him understand “the culture of people, as distinct from their balance sheet.”
It is in that context that the connection between math and music grabs the most attention. Both are at heart modes of expression. Bruce Kovner, the founder of the hedge fund (对冲基金) Caxton Associates, says he sees similarities between his piano playing and investing strategy; as he says, both “relate to pattern recognition, and some people extend these patterns across different senses.”
For Roger McNamee, whose Elevation Partners is perhaps best known for its early investment in Facebook, “music and technology have converged,” he says. He became expert on Facebook by using it to promote his band, Moonalice, and now is focusing on video by live-streaming its concerts. He says musicians and top professionals share “the almost desperate need to dive deep.” This capacity to obsess seems to unite top performers in music and other fields.
“I’ve always believed the reason I’ve gotten ahead is by outworking other people,” he says. It’s a skill learned by “playing that solo one more time, working on that one little section one more time,” and it translates into “working on something over and over again, or double-checking or triple-checking.” He adds, “There’s nothing like music to teach you that eventually if you work hard enough, it does get better. You see the results.”
That’s an observation worth remembering at a time when music as a serious pursuit in decline in this country.
【1】Music training can enhance all of the following abilities except __________.
A.handling the present with a long-range vision
B.listening to different opinions patiently
C.thinking from other people’s perspective
D.identifying connection between different ideas
【2】Bruce Kovner sees a parallel between music and ________.
A.hedge fund B.patterns C.different senses D.mathematics
【3】By saying “music and technology have converged”, Roger McNamee means_________.
A.technology has increased the channels by which music is promoted
B.advanced technology makes sound better than before
C.Facebook has become a platform for promoting music albums
D.musical techniques are directly used in managing business
【4】The underlined word “observation” in the last paragraph refers to _______.
A.the claim that music is the key to success
B.the belief that results determine the value of music
C.the idea that hard work keeps getting you ahead
D.the proposal that one should pursue music seriously
