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? T
26、hese 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.
27、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 like
28、ly 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 probabl
29、y 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.”56. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _. A. bright and
30、 splendid; slow in thinking and understanding B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking C. great and important; common D. hopeful and helpful; careless57. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _. A. a normal person; a funny person B. a strong person; a weak person
31、 C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person D. a famous person; an ordinary person58. A person _ is more likely to become a genius. A. whose parents are clever B. often thinking about difficult problems C. often helped by his parents and teachers D. born with a good brain and pu
32、tting it into active use59. It is better for parents _. A. to praise and encourage their children more often B. to be hard on their children C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do D. to give their children as much help as possible60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the a
33、rticle? A. Parents play an important part in their childrens growth. B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become. C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live. D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.B Tobacco is the second major cause of de
34、ath in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by 2020. Half the people that smoke today, that is about 650 million people, will eventually be ki
35、lled by tobacco. Tobacco is the fourth most common risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving
36、 (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss bei
37、ng in developing countries. Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-income countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, ed
38、ucation and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead. 61. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph? A. Smoking causes 10 percent of the deaths worldwide. B. About 10 mill
39、ion people will die from smoking each year by 2020. C. Half the people in the world will be killed by smoking. D. Roughly there are 1,300 million smokers nowadays.62. According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _. A. relationship B. education C. healthD. econom
40、y63. The text uses a lot of figures to _. A. show we shouldnt smoke too much B. tell people exactly the number C. warn people of the harm of smoking D. indicate the writer had a careful investigation64. The underlined word “illiteracy” in the last paragraph means _. A. great intelligenceB. good educ
41、ation C. bad behaviorsD. inability to read or write65. What is the best title of the passage? A. Tobacco Should Be Banned. B. Why Is Tobacco a Major Threat to Public Health. C. Tobacco and Poverty Go Hand in Hand. D. Tobacco May Cause Death.C A company advertised in the newspaper for a sales positio
42、n. Details of the prerequisite (必备条件), salary and benefits were given. It was also clearly stated that applicants needed to take an aptitude test (能力倾向测试) and an interview. However, looking at the whole advertisement, one could not find any contact information of the company. Most interested applica
43、nts thought that it was the companys HR departments carelessness or a printing error. They therefore waited patiently for the newspaper to publish an amendment. But instead of waiting for the newspaper to publish the company details, another three applicants took the initiative(主动性) to find out the
44、companys contact information themselves. Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the companys name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the companys office number. She called up the office and
45、 got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same company in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together with the companys contact information. Three days aft
46、er that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the companys HR manager. They were then called up for an interv
47、iew. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test is hidden in the advertisement it
48、self. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps or rules. You are all clever and agile. In a short time, youve managed to find ways of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors

They also get more done per hour than everyone but the Norwegians, according to a UN report r
54、eleased Monday, which said the United States “leads the world in labor productivity”. Only part of the US productivity growth, which has outpaced(超过) that of many other developed economies, can be explained by the longer hours Americans are putting in. The US, according to the report, also beats all
55、 27 nations in the European Union, Japan and Switzerland in the amount of wealth created per hour of work a second key measure of productivity. Norway, which is not an EU member, generates the most output per working hour, $37.99. The US is second at $35.63, about a half dollar ahead of third-place
56、France. The US employee put in an average 1,804 hours of work in 2006, the report said. That compared with 1,407.1 hours for the Norwegian worker and 1,564.4 for the French. It pales, however, in comparison with the annual working hours in Asia, where seven economies South Korea, Bangladesh, Sri Lan
57、ka, Hong Kong, Chinas mainland, Malaysia and Thailand surpassed 2,200 average hours per worker. But those economies had lower productivity rates. Laborers from regions such as Southeast Asia, Latin America and the Middle East have the potential to create more wealth but are being held back by a lack
58、 of investment in training, equipment and technology. In Sub-Saharan Africa, workers are only about one-twelfth as productive as those in developed countries, the report said. China and other East Asian countries are catching up quickest with Western countries. Productivity in the region has doubled
