8.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.

分析 本文敘述了作者通過以父親教授他釣魚時,要像魚一樣思考,學(xué)會釣魚的道理,告訴大家從事商業(yè)銷售時要像消費(fèi)者一樣去思考.
解答 4.A.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)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.可知作者感到難過,是因為他捉不到一條魚.故選A.
5.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)He always answered,"Son,if you want to catch a fish,you have to think like a fish"可知,父親的意思是明白魚所想的是什么.故選C.
6.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water可知魚喜歡在淺水里,不喜歡在深水里,故排除AB兩項.根據(jù)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.可知魚喜歡呆在陰涼處,不喜歡呆在陽光直射的地方,D項水邊樹下的淺水處,是魚喜歡呆的地方,故此處更有可能發(fā)現(xiàn)魚.故選D.
7.B.推理判斷題.根據(jù)I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers"我逐漸了解我們需要像消費(fèi)者一樣去思考"這與父親的"You need to think like a fish"相似,因此這是父親的話給他的啟發(fā).故選B.
