【正文】 ?” The woman39。 If you drop a 12pound cannonball（炮彈） over the side of a ship, how long will it take for it to reach the bottom of the ocean of the Mariana Trench? The question above was an example of what scientists call Fermi problem, named 36 Nobel Prizewinning physicist Enrico Fermi, who used problems like this to teach his students how to think for themselves. A Fermi problem does not 37 all the information you need to solve it precisely. What does this have to do with business or creativity? A great deal. In the real world, we frequently need to make decisions when the 38 of information does not exist. Most often there may not be the time or the money to make sure of all your 39 , so your best guess will often be the best you can do. Fermi is said to have once asked his university students how many piano tuners（調(diào)音師） there were in Chicago. To answer the question, he remended 40 it down into smaller, more 41 questions, and then having the 42 to make some guesses and assumptions. How many people live in Chicago? Three million would be a reasonable estimate. How many people per family? Assume a/an 43 of four. How many families own pianos? 44 one out of three. Then there are about 250,000 pianos in Chicago. 45 would each be tuned? Maybe once every five years. That 46 50,000 tunings a year. How many pianos can one tuner tune in a day? Four? And how many in a year? Assuming 250 working days, one tuner can 47 1,000 pianos a year. So there’s work for 48 50 piano tuners in Chicago which, as it turns out, is 49 close to the actual number in the Yellow Pages. Why was guesswork so accurate? The law of averages is partly 50 . At any point, your assumptions may be too high or too low. But because of the law of averages, your mistakes, will frequently balance out. 36. A. before B. as C. like D. after 37.

And he went to a store. “How much do they cost?” he asked the clerk. “That depends, ” said the salesman. “They range from US$2 to US$2,000.” As he was unwilling to spend a lot of money on it, the man was interested in the US$2 model, and asked, “Can I have a look at the US$2 model?” The clerk put the device around the man’s neck. “You jus t stick this button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket,” he instructed. “How does it work?” the man asked. “For US$2, it doesn’t work,” the salesman replied. “But when people see it on you, they will pay attention. And listen to you!” As we all know, most munication problems are not due to people talking too softly. Unfortunately, it is because we are not always good listeners. Do you know that people will pay hundreds of dollars an hour, for no other reason than to have someone listen to them? We all need someone to listen to us, and to listen well to people is to respond to a great human need.
