A
根据短文内容,判断下列句子的正(T)误(F)。
A very talented businessman was invited to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. However, he said with a slight smile, “Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for advice on a certain problem?” “ Here is the problem,” he raised, “People all rushed to the place where a gold mine (金矿) had recently been discovered. But when they got there they found they were blocked(堵塞) by a river flowing across the only way to it. What would you do if you were among them?”
“ Make a roundabout way,” someone suggested.
“ Swim across,” said another.
The businessman smiled without a word. Then he gave his view, “Why not do something else instead of rushing the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying(摆渡)?”
The audience was shocked. He explained calmly, “The man could make a lot of money from the passengers. They would have been willing to pay for the ferry because there was gold on the other bank. Do what others have not thought to do, or something never tried before— that is the key to success. A difficult situation, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a chance for success. ”
(F)1. The businessman mainly talked about how to find a gold mine.
(F)2. People all rushed to one place because they wanted to start a ferry.
(F)3. When people were blocked by the river, the businessman suggested they make a roundabout way.
(T)4. The underlined word “roundabout” probably means to choose other ways.
(T)5. The businessman mainly tells us that we should be ready to try new things.

答案： 1.F 2.F 3.F 4.T 5.T
