Question

19．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．

解答 ADDBB
56．A 细节理解题．根据第一段的"But 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．"可知作者感到难过，是因为他捉不到一条鱼．故选A．
57．D 推理判断题．根据第二段的"The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．"我越了解鱼，我越能有效地找到鱼和抓住鱼，可知此处父亲的意思是要我了解钓鱼的方法，故选D．
58．D 推理判断题．根据第二段的"That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water"可知，鱼喜欢在浅水里，不喜欢在深水里，故排除A、B两项．根据"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．"可知鱼喜欢呆在阴凉处，不喜欢呆在阳光直射的地方，故排除C项．D项水边树下的浅水处，是鱼喜欢呆的地方，所以此处更有可能发现鱼．故选D．
59．B 推理判断题．根据最后一段的"I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers我逐渐了解我们需要像消费者一样去思考，这与父亲的"You need to think like a fish"你需要像鱼一样思考相似，因此这是父亲的话给他的启发．故选B．
60．B 推理判断题．根据最后一段的"It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters"这不是一份轻松的工作，我将在下面几章里向你们展示如何去做，可知这是一本关于销售的畅销书．故选B．
