What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear. We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”1. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.A. great and important; common B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding D. hopeful and helpful; careless2. A person _ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are clever B. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachers D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use3. It is better for parents _.A. to praise and encourage their children more often B. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to do D. to give their children as much help as possible4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth.B. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live. C. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.BIt was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor.On that cold day years ago, as we watched the students walking into the hall, one of my colleagues turned to me and said, "Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life." At my inquiry, he answered, "Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave."As years went by, my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed.When I came across naughty students, I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher.It obviously isn't the money.Once a former computer science student of mine called me, asking me if I wanted to have a change.He was working at Nintendo Corporation.His salary was higher than my current one, though I have more education and have worked for over a decade.With my programming skills, he said he could get me hired.I thanked him, but declined his kind offer.A few days before this current graduation, while working on final grades, I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework.She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class not about math, but about life would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away.As I finished reading, I remembered why I had become a teacher.Now, on this sunny graduation day, as I again observed the sea of blue hats and gowns, I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction I will always be grateful that I am a teacher.5.Hearing his colleague's description of graduation for the first time, the author .A.quite agreed with his colleagueB.thought it very funnyC.was very puzzled D.was very sad.6.The computer science student called up the author because he .A.wanted to inform the author of his present job B.tried to persuade the author to work with himC.wanted the author to share his joy and satisfaction D.thought the author wasn't fit to be a teacher7.The underlined part blue hats and gowns refers to .A.university colleagues B.life memories C.graduates' clothes D.decorations in the hall8.The author wrote this passage to .A.express his devotion to being a teacher B.compare two different graduation ceremoniesC.talk about the meaning of graduation D.give advice on how to be a good teacherCIf you want to get something done, you might want to put your mobile phone back in your pocket. Researchers have found that the mere presence of a phone is distracting(分心) even if it is not your own. And the devices(设备) are likely to distract you, even if they are not ringing or “pinging” with text messages. People asked to carry out electronic tests of their attention spans (持续时间) were found to perform worse when a mobile phone was present than other people performing in the presence of a paper notepad.Scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan said that their findings show that it is harder to concentrate when one of the electronic devices is present. The effect was most marked on people who are not regular users of phones. In tests on 40 undergraduates, Associate Professor Junichiro Kawahara and a colleague divided the subjects into two groups one asked to carry out tests in the presence of an Apple iPhone next to a computer monitor, and the other in the presence of a notebook.The test involved asking the participant to search for a particular character among a mess of other characters on the screen. Researchers measured the time it took to find the target. The results of the experiment found that those with the mobile phone took longer to find the character “indicating that participants were automatically distracted by the presence of the phone”. The researchers suggest that people are “drawn to the presence of a mobile phone” although there are individual differences in how one attempts to ignore it. In conclusion, Professor Kawahara said, “The mere presence of a mobile phone was a distraction among infrequent internet users.”Another finding is that listening to one half of a mobile phone conversation also distracts people, and other studies have found that placing a mobile phone in view has a negative impact on the quality of face-to-face communications. Holding a mobile phone makes you less likely to get a fair hearing from others.9. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. A mobile phone wont distract people unless its ringing.B. People find it hard to concentrate if their phones are present.C. Text messages distract people even if phones are power off.D. A paper notepad can help people record much information.10. Who will be affected most according to the findings?A. People irregularly using phones. B. People regularly using phones.C. People usually using notepads. D. People always using computers.11. In a face-to-face communication, what is the effect of putting a mobile phone in sight?A. It makes listeners feel much awkward.B. It causes other people to lose respect for you.C. It reduces peoples attention to listening to others. D. It makes the air of the conversation more pleasant.12. What can we learn from the text?A. People perform worse with a mobile phone at hand.B. Mobile phones do a lot of damage to peoples health.C. People working with mobile phones will do very well.D. Phones should be banned in all schools and universities. DEarths next superpowerThe following countries have been sitting on hidden talents.And now theyre about to fly.NIGERIA (尼日利亚)Nigeria says it pumps out as much oil as the other two oilproducing countries, Kuwait and Iraq.All this oil is cycling cash into the Nigerian economy and creating extremely rich businessmen.Analysts say that if Nigeria can improve its schools and technology, it could balloon into the worlds 13th largest economy by 2050, right between Turkey and Italy.If that reason is not enough for optimism, Nigerias president also has the sunniest name of any world leader: Goodluck Jonathan.VIETNAMAs agriculture has given way to industry, unemployment in Vietnam has dropped.Whats Vietnams trick? Its ready to work.Other countries laborers arent as cheap as they used to be, which makes Vietnam a relative bargain for companies that need new factories abroad.However, the country has almost no railroads, its highways are in poor condition, and its largest city has just one airport, which was built before the Vietnam War.So whats the use of producing exportready goods if theres no convenient way to ship them? The good thing is, however, officials are widening highways, building a new airport and so on.CHILE (智利)Pipes, computers, motors, and your microwave all have one thing in common: Theyre made with copper (铜).Copper makes the world go round.And lucky for Chile, its got about a third of the planets copper supply.It just needs a way to dig it up and the government is pouring money into the countrys mines.13.Which country will Nigeria be expected to follow in respect of economy by 2050?A.Kuwait. B.Iraq. C.Turkey. D.Italy.14.Whats the problem Vietnam is facing?A.It doesnt have money to build new factories. B.Its people dont have enough food to eat.C.It is suffering from the Vietnam War.
