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 salespeople．" 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．



Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？ ______

A. He couldn't influence a fish as his father did．
B. He could not catch a fish．
C. His father did not teach him fishing．
D. His father was not patient with him．

According to the author， fish are most likely to be found ______ ．

A. in shallow water under waterside trees
B. in deep water on cloudy days

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight.
Animals and man cannot make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore animals and man need plants in order to live. This is why we find that there are so many plants around us. If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are two kinds of plants: flowering plants and non-flowering plants. Flowering plants can make seeds. The seeds are protected by the fruits. Some fruits have one seed, some have two, three or four, and some have many seeds. But a few fruits have no seeds at all. An example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. Most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. They grow from spores (胚芽). Spores are very small. Some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. We may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. When these spores are all on wet and shady places, they usually grow into new plants.

In the sea there are many islands. In its warm waters there are some little ones. We call them “Coral Islands”.
A coral island is very nice to look at. It looks like a ring of land with tress, grass, and flowers on it. One part of the ring is open to the water. There is a little round lake inside the island.
If you look into this lake, you will see beautiful coral. You may think they are flowers.
If you look at a piece of coral, you will see many little holes in it. In each of these holes a very small sea animal has lived . These sea animals make the coral.
They began to build under the water. Year after year, the coral grew higher and higher.
At last it grew out of the water.
Then the sea brought to it small trees and something else. After some years, these things changed into earth. Sometimes the wind brought seeds to this earth. Sometimes birds flew over it and brought seeds to the island.
The little seeds grew. In a few years there were plants all over the island. In a few more years there were trees growing there.
