It is surprising how many expressions that people use every day tame from the card game poker For ex- ample, you hear the expression "ace in the hole" used by many who would never think of going near a poker table. An ace in the hole is any argument, plan or thinking kept hidden until needed, especially when it can turn failure into success.
In poker and most card games, the ace is the highest and most valuable card. It is often a winning card. In one kind of poker game, the first card to each player is dealt face down. A player does not show-this card to the other players. The other cards are dealt face up with the players betting money each time they receive another card. No one knows until the end of the game whose hidden card is the winner. Often, the "ace in the hole" wins the game.
Smart card players, especially those who play for large amounts of money, closely watch the person who deals the cards. They are watching to make sure he is dealing honestly, that he is not dealing off the bottom of the stack of cards. A dealer who is doing that has "stacked the deck". He has fixed the cards so that he will get higher cards and you will lose.
The expression "dealing off the bottom" now means cheating in business, as well as in cards. And when someone tells you that "the cards are stacked" against you, he is saying you do not have a chance to succeed.
In a poker game you do not want to let your opponents know if your cards are good or bad. So having a "poker face" is important. A poker face never shows any emotion, never expresses either good or bad feelings. No one can learn, by looking at your face. if your cards are good or bad. People now use "poker face" in everyday speech to describe someone who shows no emotion.
Someone who has a "poker face" usually is good at "bluffing". Bluffing is trying to trick a person into believing something about you that is not true. In poker, you bluff when you bet heavily on a poor hand. The idea is to make the other players believe you have strong cards and are sure to win. If they believe you, they are likely to drop out of the game, leaving to you the money they have bet.
You can do a better job of bluffing if you "hold your cards close to your vest". You hold your cards close to you so no one else can see what you have. In everyday speech, holding your cards close to your vest means not letting others know what you are doing or thinking. You arc keeping your plans secret.
According to the passage, if a person has a poker face. it is easy ______.
选项
A、to cheat him
B、to guess his under thoughts
C、for him to keep secret
D、for him to mislead others
答案
D
解析
文章第六段指出,拥有“poker face”的人善于“bluff”,意为在玩牌时善于虚张声势,如手气不好时下大注或手气好时下小注,借以迷惑对手,从而达到赢钱的目的,所以选D。
