    　　Six people are sitting around a big table．They are very important people．They are trying to make a very important decision．That are trying to make a very important decision．That is why they are all wearing coloured hats．But only in their minds．

    　　When making a decision people have to struggle with different choices．They have to be creative enough to use their imaginations．But they also have to know enough of the facts to stop their imaginations using them．

    　　All these factors sometimes make it hard for people to decide what to do when they are given a difficult question．And what will happen if we cannot afford to get the answer wrong?

    　　Enter Edward de Bono, Professor De Bono comes up with ideas, which help people work out how to think．And the“six-hat technique”is one of the best known．

    　　The idea is to separate out the different parts of the decision making process so that each can help people come to the right decision．Each of the six very important people is given a different hat．The white hat deals with information and sticks to the facts．The red hat talks about how he or she feels about what is going on．The yellow hat looks at all the benefits that cold come from a decision．The black hat warns about everything that could go wrong．The green hat wonders whether there are any other good ways．And the blue hat runs the whole meeting．

    　　This technique has proved itself in many businesses．Managers find that it is an effective way of making sure that meetings are useful and constructive．Individuals can be given a particular hat for a whole meeting．Or the whole team can wear the same hat for part of the time and then move on to the next．And best of all, it keeps meetings short．

    　　Though it was intended for the world of business, sometimes the“six-hat technique”can also be used outside work．Some parents use it to teach children the difference between what they want to do right now and what is really good for them．Individuals can use it as a way of cutting through the confusion and making the right decision．

    (1)

    What does the writer think of the imaginations used in making a decision?

    [　　]

    A．

    They must be used properly．

    B．

    They should be used very little．

    C．

    They are often dangerous．

    D．

    They are more important than facts．

    (2)

    Which of the following statements is true to the“six-hat technique”?

    [　　]

    A．

    It is only suitable for six people．

    B．

    It is suitable for any number of people．

    C．

    It is only suitable for business．

    D．

    It is suitable for anything．

    (3)

    The“six-hat technique”offered by Professor De Bono is mainly used in ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    creative thinking

    B．

    having meeting

    C．

    judging people’s opinions

    D．

    the decision making process

    答案：1．A;2．B;3．D;

    　　Many people like the feeling of the gentle wind in spring．Many like to see the falling leaves dancing in the wind in autumn．But sometimes, when the wind becomes a storm, it can be very destructive(毁灭性的)．

    　　A series of such storms struck the US last month and caused very serious damage and human pain．

    　　Every year, major storms cause many problems around the world．There is nothing people can do to stop these powerful forces of nature．But new techniques are helping scientists to predict(预测)how, when, and where big storms will happen．The more exact scientists' warnings are, the better people can prepare for the storms．

    　　Predictions are improving．“We've gotten better over the years, especially the last few years,”says Phil Klotzback, a scientist at an American university．How is a storm formed? Even if scientists know where a storm will happen, winds can suddenly change, carrying the storm to a new direction．“For a hurricane to happen, conditions have to be just right,”Klotzback says．

    　　First, the ocean water needs to be warm enough so that it evaporates and rises into the air．As it rises, the vapor(水蒸气)cools and turns back into liquid．This process gives off heat．This produces energy like an engine that causes winds to increase．It drives the formation(形成)of a hurricane．

    　　If wind speeds reach 40 miles per hour, the system is called a“tropical storm”(热带风暴), and it gets a name．At 75 miles per hour, it becomes a hurricane．

    　　Hurricanes that hit the US start when a thunderstorm forms off the coast of Africa．Storms also develop over tropical waters in other parts of the world．

    　　On average, 60 or 70 storms form off Africa every year．About 10 of them get names．There are usually about six hurricanes．Two tend to be very big, with winds of 115 miles per hour or higher．

    　　The hurricane season lasts from June to November．Ninety percent of all hurricanes hit in August, September, and October．

    (1)

    d．The ocean water is warm enough．

    e．The vapor changes back into liquid．

    f．This course gives out heat．

    [　　]

    a, d, e, b, c, f

    B．

    a, b, c, f, d, e

    C．

    d, a, b, c, e, f

    D．

    d, a, c, e, f, b

    (4)

    Which of the following statements is NOT true?

    [　　]

    A．

    One out of six or seven storms get names．

    B．

    Every year at least 60 storms form off Africa．

    C．

    The speed of the biggest two hurricanes reaches 115miles per hour．

    D．

    About one third of the hurricanes tend to be very big．
