    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 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, polities, life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors, which would even puzzle the 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

    Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic. He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people werr not willing to work on farms along the Atlantic because they worried about the terrible storms that would destroy buildings and crops. The farmer received a steady stream of refusals at the interview for a farmhand.

    Finally, a short, thin man approached the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him.

    “Well, I can sleep when the wind blows. ” answered the little man.

    Although puzzled by this answer ，the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm ，busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.

    Then one night the wind howled loudly from offshore. Jumping out of bed，the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand’s sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled， “ Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they are blown away! ”

    The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, “No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows. ”

    Enraged (激怒）by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot . Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement，he discovered that all of the hay had been covered. The cows were in the barn，the chickens were in the coops，and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured.

    Advertising

    We live in a world of advertising. Advertising is any means of bringing information to the public. 1. What is being presented to the public is usually a product or service, such as a car or camera. Yet it may also be an idea, as in “Vote for Jones”, or an event, as in “Watch the World Series on this channel tomorrow!” Without advertising, people would have a difficult time knowing where goods could be bought or even certain goods or services existed.

    Advertising began with town criers in ancient Greece, who called out the name of items available in the market. 2. The first printed ads appeared in England in 1480, and newspaper ads began in 1648. In the twentieth century extensive new fields for advertising opened up with the invention of radio and television.

    3. Fro example, radio and television ads are costly. But they reach a vast audience. This makes them worthwhile and cost-effective for the advertisers. Newspaper ads can feature coupons(赠券) or information that can be clipped and saved. Magazines often appeal directly to special groups, such as sports fans or teenagers. Other forms of advertising include direct mail, e-mail, billboards…

    4. For the most part, they hire qualified agencies to create their advertising. An advertising agency plans a company’s ads. It also does research. It surveys the market and tests different approaches to determine the most effective way to sell the greatest amount of the product.

    How can we be sure that an ad is accurate? Two government agencies, the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration, check ads against false claims. The Postal Service watches for fraudulent(欺骗性的) ads sent by mail. State and local governments also have watchdog agencies. 5.

    A. Its purpose is to sell something.

    B. Printed ads are found in newspapers and magazines.

    C. Ancient Egyptians carved announcements on stones.

    D. Do business owners themselves think up all those ads?

    E. Advertisers who trick the public face heavy fines or other punishment.

    F. Advertisers use whichever means, or media they think will work best for them.

    G. Advertising developed with the rise of mass production in the late 19th century.

    A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.

    US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.

    “Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.

    In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.

    Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”

    1.What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?

    A. It is fast in pace.

    B. It is slow in pace.

    C. It makes us feel upset.

    D. It makes us feel optimistic.

    2.What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?

    A. There are colors that do not match any music.

    B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music

    C. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.

    D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.

    3.How did the researchers do the research?

    A. By making predictions. B. By researching journals.

    C. By conducting experiments. D. By studying famous musicians.

    4.According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________

    A. how colors or music influence our emotions

    B. how emotions affect music-color connections

    C. why we have different feelings towards music

    D. why we have different feelings towards colors
