Habit alone can keep people drinking. However, many heavy drinkers can offer some other reasons for their actions. Right now doctors are getting some attention in their protests against heavy drinking. Many people have cut down on their drinking. In general, everyone believes the doctors warnings. It is sometimes very easy to stop drinking heavily. For example, at a party a man has just one drink. He can stop thinking about having another one.

Rowling was born in Bristol on July 31st, 1965. She has one sister who is two years younger than her. Both girls loved listening to their father reading bedtime stories to them. They especially loved stories about magical worlds. Rowling wrote her first story, called Rabbit, at the age of six. After she graduated from the university, Rowling worked as a translator(翻译者)in London. During this time, on a long train trip in the summer of 1990, the idea came to her of a boy who has magic but doesnt know it. In 1992 Rowling began to teach English. She lived with her baby daughter, Jessica, and spent much time finishing the first Harry Potter book for young readers. It appeared in June 1997. To her surprise, the book was greatly successful. The film came out in November 2001. Now Harry Potter series(系列) is popular with people of all ages and about 60 million books were sold in 200 countries. Why has the series been so successful? There are a few things. Many other magical stories take place in faraway lands or in past or future times. But Harry lives in modern(现代的) England. Hes also a very normal(平常的) boy: polite, friendly, brave and clever. So when other children read about Harry, they can imagine being like him. J.K.

DAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of persons intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.32. Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Paragraph 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.33. It is suggested in this passage that_.A. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceB. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC. close relation usually have similar intelligence D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence34. The phrase “at random”(Line3, para.2) means _ .A. purposely B. frequently C. independently D. aimlessly 35. The best title for this article would be_.A. On IntelligenceB. What Dose Intelligence Mean ?C. We Are Born with IntelligenceD. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? _36_. Do you prefer grey（灰色） and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist（悲观主义者）. At least, this is what psychologists（心理学家） tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(爱好), as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. _37_ . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly._38_. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. _39_ . A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue._40_. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑）.B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up - we are born with our preference.C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.D. If you do, you must be an optimist （乐观主义者）, a leader, an active person who enjoys life.E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.G.
