【题目】One is not born able to speak a language.One is born able to make a noise.I have heard babies cry in America and in China.I can’t tell any difference.But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English.They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English.After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally.You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study.Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak.There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English.Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
【1】The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

【题目】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.________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
