10、e away to students. I was his colleague for nearly a decade and I never stopped being amazed at his generosity. Our college has a program of providing cross-cultural experiences for students. Lots of students take advantage of summer experience oversea. I discovered that no group left for overseas w
11、ith some of its members receiving financial help from Dr. Tullis. It wasnt that he made a lot of money. For one thing, he taught in a church-run school. There, his salary was half of what those people earned in a tax-supported school. Other colleagues occasionally complained about the low pay. Not L
12、yle Tullis. Occasionally some professors would leave our campus for a better-paid position. They told me they did so because, with better pay, they could provide for their families. The size of Lyle Tullis paycheck never seemed to be the most important thing to him. I realized that one day when I wa
13、s thanking him for helping a student, his eyes shone as he said to me, “Ive got so much money that I dont know what to do with it. So, I just give it away.” Most people wouldnt have thought that way. Dr. Tullis drove one of the oldest cars on campus. It was even older than almost any of the students
14、 cars. His home, while comfortable, was not fancy at all. But Lyle Tullis lived with the feeling that he had so much money that he needed to give it away. He was one of the favorite on campus. Cynics(愤世嫉俗) might say he bought fame. But they would misunderstand. Lyle wanted to devote his life, all of
15、 it, to helping others21. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. Dr. Tullis was very popular with his students. B. The author was wondering why Dr. Tullis gave students money.C. Dr. Tullis was generous in giving his students financial help. D. The author had a program of providing cross-
16、cultural experiences for students.22. Why did Dr. Tullis give his money away?A. He had a good fortune. B. He wanted to buy fame.C. He was ready to help students in need. D.

A. Honest. B. Generosity C. Friendly D. ConservativeBMany people think of the brain as a mystery. They d
18、ont know much about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born smart, average, or dumb and stays that way in the whole life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle it changes and gets stronger when you
19、use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who cant lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds aft
20、er working out for a long time. Thats because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker. Thats why people say “Use it or lose it！”But most people dont know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their bra
21、in change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex (皮层) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells, called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to
22、 think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do like speaking a foreign languag
23、e or doing algebra (代数) seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time. The result is a stronger, smarter brain.Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals brains. They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environmen

The complex structure of the brain. B. How changes in the muscles

Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it - the encouragement I needed. I could still be a winner if I believed in myself. I

It actually means how much of the goods and services the country produces for an average person to share. 36 Obviously, the first factor is its ability to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this
41、 sense doesnt refer to money. Its because we dont live on money but on things that money can buy, “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.There are various factors that determine a countrys ability to produce wealth. They affect one another. Wealth depen
42、ds greatly on a countrys natural resources. 37 .

The USA has everything listed above. 38 The Sahara Desert, on the o
43、ther hand, is one of the least wealthy.Also, the ability to put natural resources to use counts, which goes without saying. 39 As we see, old countries that have trained so many skilled workers over centimes are better at producing wealth than those whose workers are mainly unskilled.Besides, with t
44、heir wealth increasing, people have more for saving and can put their savings into factories and machines, which, in turn, will help workers to produce more goods. 40 A. That means wealth itself also produces wealth.B. No wonder it is one of the wealthiest regions of the world.C. Natural resources a
45、re equally distributed around the world.D. And next comes the technical efficiency of a countrys people.E. You may ask what factors contribute to a countrys standard of livingF. They include coal, oil, gas, gold, other minerals, water supply and so on.G. But that doesntmake it a most wealthy country
