A yoga master made a shocking statement that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life. Lincoln delivered a proclamation setting up Thanksgiving as an American holiday in 1863. Research throws light on a possible Hindu (印度的)origin for the American celebration of Thanksgiving.
"The holiday of Thanksgiving has a Hindu origin," says Richard Salva, author of a book on the reincarnation (转世)of Abraham Lincoln entitled Soul Journey : From Lincoln to Lindbergh which is based on a statement by the great master of yoga, Paramhamsa Yogananda, who declared that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life, and that he was reborn as the famous pilot, Charles Lindbergh.
”During my search for signs of a past-life yoga practice," SaIva said, “I noticed that President Lincoln repeatedly chose Thursdays as national days of prayer, fasting (禁食),and thanksgiving. This was interesting, because Thursday is considered a holy day — a day for prayer, fasting, and spiritual reflection — among Hindus, who call it ‘guru day,. ”

“ Lincoln also set aside time on Thursdays to grieve for his son,Willie, who died in Washington. Clearly, Hiursdays had a spiritual significance in Lincoln's mind. ”
In his book, Richard Salva presents more than 500 connections between Lincoln9
lindergh, and the ancient spiritual science of yoga. The connections run through every aspect
of the human condition and provide convincing evidence that Lincoln had had a Hindu past life.
More than one out of every five Americans today believes in reincarnation—yet few are
aware of how past-life pattenis affect them. Soul Journey tries to fill this gap, by offering a
substitute experience of reincarnation. Through clear and persuasive similarities between the
lives of Lincoln and Lindbergh, the book discovers how the hidden laws of fate and
reincarnation impact the events of his or her daily life. It addresses other issues, such as the
secret spiritual history of America's greatest president, including his past life as a Himalayan

In offering Michael Jackson ticket holders the choice to take a refund or receive their unusable tickets as souvenirs, AEG have introduced music fans to one of the most unmanageable problems in the mathematical sciences. If nearly everybody takes the refund then the tickets, designed by the King of Pop himself, will become collectors' items and worth a fortune. However, if ail 750,000 fans take their tickets then they will all hold worthless bits of fancy paper.
The choice facing fans is similar to the El Farol bar problem, which has been the subject of hundreds of academic papers and inspired a whole field: minority game theory. That is, if you
reason that every Michael Jackson fan will take a refund then you should take the ticket , but
they will reason in the same way and there will be a flood of souvenirs, so you should ask for 高考网WWw.gAoKw.coM

your money back, but then…
So, with the benefit of the hundreds of academic papers from scientists around the world, what should a Times reader who holds a ticket do? The research tells us that, if you assume everybody else will use the same strategy as you, then the best you can do is to throw a dice(骰子):deciding whether or not to keep the ticket according to a probability determined by demand for tickets and price. However, working out the probability is tough and most fans, without the benefit of minority game theory, won't be tossing a dice.
There is one huge factor in the Michael Jackson problem which isn't in the standard El Farol bar problem. Hype (炒作)• If the owners of the El Farol bar distributed fliers (传单) announcing it was going to be quiet next week,then it would be a safe bet to stay at home with a glass of wine. So my advice would be to read the newspapers and decide what to do on the basis of the experts' advice. If all the articles you read say the tickets will be collectors' items then ask for a refund,and if they all accuse AEG of cheating crazy fans then take the ticket. It was, after ail,designed by Michael Jackson. 高考网Www.gaoKw.CoM

A. what advice to take B. how to get their money back
C. how to deal with the tickets D. how to make a fortune
69. It isn't said but implied that “ minority game theory” is a theory about ______
A. people's reasoning B. Jackson's strategy
C. experts' advice D. minority's bet
70. What the writer advises the ticket holders to do is ______.
A. to throw a dice B. to follow the experts
