Wyatt Baldwin has been playing rock, paper, scissors (剪刀) since he was a kid. The game helped him settle disagreements with his three older sisters. " I never got the chance to pick what we watched on TV until I learned the sport of rock, paper, scissors, " he says.
Baldwin is president of the World Rock Paper Scissors Association. He has played in and hosted competitions all around the globe. He once had a 43-game winning streak. What is the secret to his success? "Look for patterns in either your opponent’s moves or behavior, " he says. As all serious rock, paper, scissors players know, there is more to the game than luck.
People have been playing rock, paper, scissors for about 2, 000 years. It is played everywhere. Some cultures use different hand symbols, but the idea is the same. You and an opponent each "throw" one of three hand symbols. You win, lose, or tie (不分胜负). Many people think the game is all luck. It seems that your chances of winning and losing are about the same, but the outcome of the game is not random. That is because human behavior is not random. There are patterns in how people make decisions.
A study at Zhejiang University in China looked at how people play rock, paper, scissors. It followed 360 students in a competition. Researchers found two key patterns. Winners tended to repeat their winning hand symbols. Losers tended to go from rock to paper to scissors.
Knowing the psychology of the game is not a sure ticket to winning, but it can help. Ken Watson is one of the world’s best rock, paper, scissors players. He says winning takes skill. "You have to size up your opponent." Luck and chance play a part, but "you have to be prepared and have a strategy, "he says. "Part of my strategy is being confident."
According to Baldwin, "practice, practice, practice" is the key to success. "You can try practicing against yourself in front of a mirror, " he says.
What can we learn about the game from Paragraph 3?
选项
A、The idea of the game varies from culture to culture.
B、The chances of winning or losing the game are always equal.
C、Different cultures use similar hand symbols to play the game.
D、The decision-making patterns affect the outcome of the game.
答案
D
解析
A选项与原文Some cultures use different hand symbols, but the idea is the same. 对比,显然A是错误的,排除A。B选项与原文It seems that your chances of winning and losing are about the same, but the outcome of the game is not random.对比,原文句意:“比赛输赢的概率似乎是一样的,但是比赛结果并不是随机的”;而B选项使用一般现在时“are always”说明这件事是“确定的”,而原文是“似乎seems”,后面有but表示否定前面半句说“似乎一样的”。因此排除B。C选项与原文Some cultures use different hand symbols, but the idea is the same. 对比原文说文化不同,使用游戏手势也不同,所以排除C。D选项与原文There are patterns in how people make decisions. 对比,句意“存在一些关于人们如何制定决策的模式”,D与原文是同义改写,因此本题选D。
