My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one i n his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I
broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhe arted. Such obvious change was not born out of concern for h is welfare, but out of fear: if his only son, my uncle, had to go t o war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going o ff to war. Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister an d all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, whi ch meant that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers,
without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed , I’m sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only s on. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yard s when it suddenly paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out. So meone shouted, “The war is over!” For a moment, nobody mo ved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the so ldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as return ing heroes, to be welcomed home. My mother said it was a gr eat day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn’t last a tiny bit longer.

When I was nine years old, I loved to go fishing with my da d. But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he c ould catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answere d, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fis h”, 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 reason ed, how could what I think influence what a fish does？
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad re ally meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined t he local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetin
gs. I learned that a fish is a cold-
blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water tempe rature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water be cause the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any e yelids(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 rememb er hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like salespe ople.” But it didn’
t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you wa nt 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 grea t efforts to promote long-
term services to people much older and richer than me, I grad ually 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 chap ters.
25What did the author’s father really mean？
A. To read about fish.

A. it easy to think like a customer
B.his father’s fishing advice inspiring
C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable
D. it difficult to sell services t o poor people
28This passage most likely comes from _________.

For those who are tired doing the laundry, Samsung has fo und an answer: a washing machine that can tell you when yo ur laundry is done via a smartphone app(application).
Strange though it may seem
—“my wife already does that” was a common response amon g attendees viewing the device when it was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) this week — Samsung is j ust one of many appliance makers racing to install (安装) a l arge number of internet-
connected features in machines in an effort to make them “sm art”.
Last year, it was a refrigerator that tweeted. This year, it’s Wi-Fi-
enabled laundry machines and fridges that can tell you when your groceries are going bad.
The washers and dryers, available starting in the spring, c onnect to any smartphone through a downloadable applicatio
n. The phone can then be used as a remote control, so the m achines can be turned on and off while their owners are at wo rk or on the bus.
Samsung says i t’s not just something new — the app conn ection actually has some practical uses.
“If you started to dry clothes in the morning and forgot to ta ke them out, you can go to your phone and restart your dryer f or the time when come home, so your clothes are refreshed a nd ready to go,” said spokesperson Amy Schmidt.
The company also says that with electricity rate (电
价) varying depending on the time of day, more control over w hen the machines are used can help save money.
Perhaps, but what they will probably really accomplish is what all good technologies do — enable laziness. Rather than getting up to check on whether the laundry is done, users will instead monitor it on their phones while watching TV.
33. What can we learn about the new laundry machines?
A. They can tell you when your clothes need washing.
B. They can be controlled with a smartphone.
C. They are difficult to operate.
D. They are sold at a low price.
34. We can conclude form Samsung’s statements that ______ _____.
A. the app connection makes life easier
B. it is better to dry clothes in the morning
C. smartphone can shorte n the drying time
D. we should refresh clothes back at home
35. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The laundry should be frequently checked.
B. Lazy people like using such machines.
C. Good technologies also cause problems.
D. Television may help do the laundry.

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I
