Question

【題目】 A group of 30 young people in a software company was a team who were willing to learn. The team leader decided to teach them about finding real solutions (解決辦法) to the problems.

The team was called to play a game in a hall. They were quite surprised. As they entered the hall, they found the hall decorated with colourful papers and balloons all over the place. It was more like a kid's play area, than a meeting hall. Also, there was a huge box of balloons placed in the hall.

The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it. Every one happily picked a balloon and blew it.

Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up. All tried to write their names on the balloons, but not everyone was successful. A few balloons blew up because of pressure (壓力) and they were given another chance to use another balloon.

Those who failed to mark their names even after the second chance were ruled out of the game. After the second chance, 25 were left to move on to the next level. All the balloons were collected and then put into a room.

The team leader announced the members to go to the room and pick the same balloon that had his name on it. Also, he told them that no balloon should blow up and warned them to be very careful!

All 25 members reached the room, where the balloons carrying their names were thrown here and there. They were searching for the balloons carrying their names. While they were in a rush to find the balloons, they tried not to burst them. It was almost 15 minutes and no one was able to find the balloon carrying his own name.

The team was told that the second level of the game was over.

Now it is the third and final level. They were asked to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of each person.

The team leader announced: this is called the real solution to the problems.

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第3段第1句“The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it.”，第4段第1句“Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up.”，第6段第1句“The team leader announced the members to go to the room and pick the same balloon that had his name on it.”及第9段第2句“They were asked to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon.”可知“當(dāng)年輕人被叫來玩游戲時，他們不知道他們被要求做什么�！惫蔬xA。

細(xì)節(jié)題。第3-4段“The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it. …Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up. …(領(lǐng)隊讓每個人從盒子里挑一個氣球，讓他們把它吹起來……然后隊長讓他們在氣球上小心地寫上自己的名字，以免氣球爆炸……)”可知在第一關(guān)比賽中，每個隊員都被要求吹氣球并在氣球上寫上自己的名字。故選B。

主旨題。根據(jù)第9段“Now it is the third and final level. …Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of each person.( 現(xiàn)在是第三關(guān)，也是最后一關(guān)。他們被要求在房間里隨便挑一個氣球把它給氣球上寫有他的名字的那個人。幾分鐘之內(nèi)，所有的氣球都到達(dá)了每個人的手中。)”可知“在第三級比賽中成功的關(guān)鍵是互相幫助�！惫蔬xB。
