Decision-thinking is not unlike poker-it often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think.‎ ‎22．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.‎ ‎23．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.‎ ‎24．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.‎ ‎25.

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 and if we make the earth a poor place to live merely because we are careless or greedy or quarrelsome, our grand-children will not bother to think of excuses for us.‎ ‎27.

If you have some newly-got memories in your brain, sleep acts on these memories and restructures them , so that after sleep the insight into problem which you could not solve before increases,” said Dr Jan Born , a neuroscientist (神经科学家), at the university．‎ ‎32.

Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come before these storms.‎ ‎49. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles, and with such limited data, traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events. ‎ ‎50. Meteorologists（气象学者）and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays（图解）that forecasters can understand easily and quickly, and as meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.‎ ‎51．Climate change connected with the reduction of wetlands at the source of the country’s two longest rivers, the Yangtze and the Yellow, has reduced the volume of water flowing into them, scientists said.‎ ‎52．Proponents of the “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act ‎53．A behaviorist, B．F．Skinner, sees humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings while the behaviorists’ view of the human being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans’ respond to environmental stimuli as the basis of their behavior．‎ ‎54.

The speed of sound in water is roughly one mile a second—slower than through land but faster than through air. The most important thing is that different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient’s chest to a doctor’s ear.‎ ‎56．Praise-aholic kids who expect it at every turn may become teens who seek the same kind of approval from friends when asked if they want to go in the backseat of the car.(08福建卷B篇) ‎ ‎57．Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle.(08福建卷D篇) ‎ ‎58．I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing，but I don’t think that way any more.I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I am mad about it.(08湖北卷A篇) ‎ ‎59．Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards，the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers，except for the age of the participants： about 8 to 18.(08山东卷A篇) ‎ ‎60．What he didn’t know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb waiting for the next to set off an explosion.__(08湖北卷C篇) ‎ ‎61．Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergency alert system using text messages delivered to cell phones.(08山东卷B篇) ‎ ‎62．To be unavailable to our friends and family and to be unable to find time to relax—this has become the model of a successful life.(08湖北卷D篇) ‎ ‎63．Downing the last drop of an expensive famous brand H2O as well as remembering to throw the empty bottle in the recycling bin makes you feel pretty good about yourself.It shouldn’t.__(08湖北卷E篇) ‎ ‎64．The busier we are，the more important we seem to ourselves and，we imagine，to others.__(08 ‎ ‎65．However，the process，like for most addictions，is long，and they suffer a lot.(08山东卷书面表达中的阅读表达部分) ‎ ‎66．It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice.(08天津卷) ‎ ‎67．a 38-square-mile island, is the farthest inhabited island in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records.
