crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.1 loved it.I soon made friends with thelocal skaters.We spoke our own language.And my favorite:Safe.Safe meant cool.It meant hello.Itmeant dont worry about it.Once,when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆），I fell onto the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,man.Safe.A few minuteslater,when I landed the

times since,most recently this past spring.The day was cold butclear:tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Weaving（穿梭）among the kids whorushed by on their boards,I found my way to the

genius?This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly:Einstein was a genius.His face is almost the international symbol for genius.But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some peopleare so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps this is not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set thestandards for admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside theclub-women,or people of a different color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected byothers.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely thanboys to say that members of their gender（性别）are really,really smart.Even worse,the study foundthat girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who arereally,really smart.Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and giveup?It doesnt take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were all positionedto see flashes of genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that socialfactors（因素）like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with intelligence,creativity,perseverance（毅力），and simple goodfortune,who are able to change the world.n12.What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?A.Theyre unfair.B.Theyre conservative.C.Theyre objective.D.Theyre strict.13.What can we infer about

shop!You keep hearing about recycling,right?But it doesnt end with bottles,cans,and paper.Clothingtakes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make,and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing
