K: Sure! You can go to Mobile Joker Store, which is the nearest mobile phone store from here.
S: Er, sorry, but I don't know how to get there.
K: Don't worry, do you have a map?
S: Yes, here it is.
K: Let's see —Here's where we are right now. To get to Mobile Joker Store, you'll need to cross this square and go to the south.
S: OK. And then…?
K: And then the mobile phone store is about five hundred yards past the gym, on your left. You'll see a sign in front of the shop.
S: No wonder I got lost. I was heading in the wrong direction! Anyway, thank you very much for your help.
K: No problem. Good luck!

There is usually a price for pleasure so mindless. In the case of TV golf, it is listening to the commentators analyze the players’ swings. What looks to you like a single, continuous, and not difficult act is revealed, via slow motion and a sort of virtual-chalkboard graphics, to be a sequence of intricately measured adjustments of shoulder to hip, head to arm, elbow to wrist, and so on. Where you see fluidity, the experts see geometry; what to you is nature is machinery to them—parallel lines, extended planes, points of impact. They murder to examine. Yet, apparently, these minutes and individualized measurements make all the difference between being able reliably to land a golf ball in an area, three hundred yards away, the size of a bathmat and, say, randomly hitting a car, which, let’s face it, only a fool would drive right next to a golf course. There is a major disproportion, in other words, between the straightforwardness of the game and the fantastic precision required to play it, a disproportion mastered by a difficult but, to the ordinary observer, almost invisible technique.
Short stories are the same. A short story is not as restrictive as a sonnet, but, of all the literary forms, it is possibly the most single-minded. Its aim, as it was identified by the modern genre’s first theorist, Edgar Allan Poe, is to create “an effect”—by which Poe meant something almost physical, like a sensation or an extreme excitement.
第31题:The author quotes his own experience with golf to show that _____.
[A] things are often not so simple and easy as they seem
[B] his experience with golf has been a frustrating failure
[C] that experience of his offered much for his later life
[D] apparent truths are more often than not unreliable
I happen to be one of those who do not put faith in the old saying. I suppose I might be in the minority but I am a member of an elite club with the likes of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates in my camp.
Perception is not reality; perception is halfway to discovering reality. Perception is drawn from our own impressions, our own belief systems. Is it powerful and influential? Absolutely! Is it all that it seems? Less often than you think. How many times have you cast an initial judgment only to surprise yourself later and learn how you missed out on a great opportunity, person or idea?
Comment 1
In the present era, many associate the well-dressed with being the most successful. It took folks in the business world a long time to overlook the way Steve Jobs wore jeans on the public stage. I did not know Mr. Jobs, though I wish I had. I have heard it said that he invented the concept of “business casual.” In my mind that is as much a matter of self-confidence as it is a matter of taste in clothing.
Comment 2
You are wrong about Steve Jobs. He certainly did care about how he was perceived and his appearance was very much calculated to achieve his desired effect. From his early formal business clothing down to the aggressive casualness of his eventual black turtle neck and jeans uniform, his clothes and the impact they made were clearly foremost in his mind.
Comment 3
It reminds me of the story about the philosopher who goes to a formal dinner party in jeans. When asked if he felt out of place because of his clothes, he looked around and said he hadn’t noticed.

A.Steve Jobs and Bill Gates dress formally.
B.We should not judge a person by his clothing.
C.It is clothes that make the man.
D.The well-dressed are most likely to succeed.
According to the writer of the passage, perception ______.A.might prove wrong
B.is powerful and reliable
C.is half reality
D.might be worthless to us

B.suggests that he and Steve Jobs used to be in the same club

When he went to the dinner party in jeans (Comment 3), the philosopher _______A.thought that people liked his clothes
B.was not aware of how his clothes looked
C.felt quite embarrassed

B.suggest that business people have no taste in clothing
