A.Nearly 12 hours.B.More than 12 hours.C.Nearly 24 hours.D.More than 24 hours.BThe easy way out isnt always easiest.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 me
28、nu which included homemade bread.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 Doug loved oranges,I also opened a can of orange and poured it all i
29、nto 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 wouldnt 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 w
30、ith 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 window 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
31、looking into the container.When I came out of the house,he dropped the stick and explained that there was something alive in our 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
32、 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.It looked like some unknown being from outer space.I could see why Doug was so shaken.I had to admit what theliving thingwas and why it was there.I dont know who was more e

37、also what others think you think and 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.
38、In particular,he showed that all games fall into two classes:there are what he called games ofperfect information,games like chess where the players cant hide anything or play tricks:they dont win by chance,but by means of logic and skills.Then there are games ofimperfect information,like poker,in w

43、essD.mix known and unknown factorsDOlaf 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 longdark agesin between.In his view,what is called the present time is no more than a moment in h
44、uman 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 shortsight- ed.Perhaps we can see some possibilities for the next fifty years.But the next hundred?The next thousand?The next
45、 million?Thats 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 they will spend their days gollocking to ma
