(could anything shorter be a book?) there was yet another high school list i made. one day i came across a newspaper article about an english professor at a nearby state college. the article had a list of the “hundred most important books of western civilization”. “more than anything else in my life”. the professor told the reporter with finality, “these books have made me all that i am.” that was the kind of words i couldnt ignore. i kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. most books, of course, i hardly understood. while reading platos the republic, for example, i needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. however, with the special patience and superstition of a schoolboy, i looked at every word of the text. and by the time i reached the last words, i persuaded myself that i had read the republic, and seriously crossed plato off my list.on hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought_.one must read as many books as possiblea student should not have a complicated ideait was impossible for one to read two thousand booksstudents ought to make a list of the books they had readwhile at high school , the writer _.had plans for readinglearned to educate himselfonly read books over 100 pagesread only one book several timesthe underlined phrases “with finality” in the second paragraph probably means _. a firmly b. clearly c. proudly d pleasantly 4. the writers purpose in mentioning the republic is to _. a. explain why it was included in the list b. describe why he seriously crossed it off the list c. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand d prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word 5. the writer provides two book lists to_. a. show how he developed his point of view b. tell his reading experience at high school c. introduce the two persons reading methods d. explain that he read many books at high school b what makes one person more intelligent than another? 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.”6. the words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.a. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingb. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingc. great and important; commond. hopeful and helpful; careless7. according to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.a. a normal person; a funny personb. a strong person; a weak personc. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded persond. a famous person; an ordinary person8. a person _ is more likely to become a genius. a. whose parents are cleverb. often thinking about difficult problemsc. often helped by his parents and teachersd. born with a good brain and putting it into active use9. it is better for parents _.a. to praise and encourage their children more oftenb. to be hard on their childrenc. to leave their children alone with nothing to dod. to give their children as much help as possible10. which of the following is not true according to the article? 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. 阅读表达： according to the dictionary definition of “ create” , ordinary people are creative everyday . to create means to bring into being or to cause to exist something each of us does daily . we are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way . first this involves an awareness of our surroundings . it means using all of our sense to become aware of world . this may be as simple as being aware of color and appearance , as well as taste , when we plan a meal . above all , it is the ability to notice things that others might miss . a second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things . if we believe the expression “ there is nothing new under the sun”, the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. for example we might do this by finding a better way to study or to arrange our furniture , or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filter
