I learned that lesson when I decided to treat Doug , my husband of one month , to a special meal . I glanced through my cookbook and chose a menu which included homemade break . Knowing the bread would take time , I started on it as soon as Doug left for work . As I was not experienced in cooking , I thought if a dozen was good , two dozen would be better , so I doubled everything . As Dong loved oranges , I also opened a can of orange and poured it all into the bowl . Soon there was a sticky dough(面团)covered with ugly yellowish marks . realizing I had been defeated , I put the dough in the rubbish bin outside so I wouldn't have to face Doug laughing at my work , I went on preparing the rest of the meal , and , when Doug got home , we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice . He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed . Twice he got up and went outside , saying he thought he heard a noise . The third time he left , I went to the windows to see what he was doing . Looking out , I saw Doug standing about three feet from the rubbish bin , holding the lid up with a stick and looking into the container . When I came out of the house , he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in out rubbish bin . Picking up the stick again , he held the lid up enough for me to see . I felt cold . But I stepped closer and looked harder . Without doubt it was my work . The hot sun had caused the dough to double in size and the fermenting yeast (酵母)made the surface shake and sigh as though it were breathing . I had to admit what the 'living thing 'was and why it was there . I don't know who was more embarrassed(尴尬)by the whole thing Doug or me. 　　54.The writer's purpose in writing this story is ___________ 　　A.to tell an interesting experience 　　B.to show the easiest way out of a difficulty 　　C.to describe the trouble facing a newly married woman 　　D.to explain the difficulty of learning to cook from books 　　55.Why did the woman's attempt at making the bread turn out to be unsuccessful? 　　A.The canned orange had gone bad. 　　B.She didn't use the right kind of flour. 　　C.The cookbook was hard to understand. 　　D.She did not follow the directions closely. 　　56.Why did the woman put the dough in the rubbish bin? 　　A.She didn't see the use of keeping it 　　B.She meant to joke with her husband. 　　C.She didn't want her husband to see it . 　　D.She hoped it would soon dry in the son. 　　57.What made the dough in the rubbish bin? 　　A.The rising and falling movement. 　　B.The strange-looking marks. 　　C.Its shape. 　　D.Its size. 　　58.When Doug went out the third time , the woman looked out of the window because she was ______________. 　　A.surprised at his being interested in the bin 　　B.afraid that he would discover her secret 　　C.unhappy that he didn't enjoy the meal 　　D.curious to know what disturbed him C 　　Decision-thinking is not unlike 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 . Quite the reverse 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), 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. 　　59.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 　　60.An important factor in a game of imperfect information is ___________. 　　A.rules B.luck C.time D.ideas 　　61.Which of the following can be used in place of "Quite the reverse"? 　　A.Quite right. B.True enough. 　　C.Most unlikely. D.Just the opposite. 　　62.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 　　D 　　Olaf Stapledon wrote a book called First and Last Men . in which he looked millions of years ahead . He told of different men and of strange civilisations(文明), broken up by long 'dark ages' in between . In his view , what is called the present time is no more than a moment in human history and we are just the First Men . In 2,000 million years from now there will be the Eighteenth or Last Men. 　　However , most of our ideas about the future are really very short-sighted . Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years . But the next hundred ? The next thousand? The next million? That's much more difficult. 　　When men and women lived by hunting 50,000 years ago , how could they even begin to picture modern life? Yet to men of 50,000 years from now , we may seem as primitive(原始的)in our ideas as the Stone-Age hunters do to us . Perhaps through the cribe , These words , which I have just made up , have to stand for things and ideas that we simply can't think of . 　　So why bother even to try imagining life far in the future ? Here are two reasons . First unless we remember how short our own lives are compared with the whole human history , we are likely to think our own interests are much more important than they really are . If we make the earth a poor place to live because . we are careless or greedy(贪婪) or quarrelsome . our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us. 　　Second , by trying to escape from present interests and imagine life far in the future , we may arrive at quite fresh ideas that we can use ourselves . For example , if we imagine that in the future men may give up farming , we can think of trying it now . So set you imagination free when you think about the future . 　　63.A particular mention made of Stapledon's book in the opening paragraph ____________ 　　A.serves as
