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.”56. 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; careless57. 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 person58. A person _ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are clever B. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use59. 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 possible B Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction” (减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldnt go there more often.After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only man there. And he hated following any of the diet programs. Fitzs latest idea is to join a walking club to “walk off” the weight.60. Mr. Fitzpatrick was _ when spoke at the company dinner last year.A. lighter than the year before B. planning to go on a dietC. heavier than the year before D. with the Weight Watchers61. He did not stay with Weight Watchers because _.A. he couldnt do as the diet programs required himB. he felt uncomfortable being watched by womenC. the members of Weight Watchers were all women but himD. both A and C62. Which of the following can best explain the main idea of the passage?A. There is no good way to lose weight. B. One can do nothing without a strong will.C. There are different ways to lose weight. D. Walking is the best way of losing weight.CNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban womens teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game by their co operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear minded in times of advantage , then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do. 63.

A. had feelings of different kind B. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful game C. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team D. were eager to know what would happen later on 64. The wonderful game _. A. brought us great joy B. provided us with food for our thoughts C. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughts D. give us a valuable amusement 65. The author believed that _. A. the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team was the strongest B.

The Chinese Womens Volleyball Team never lost heart in times of difficulty 66. The best title of the passage might be _. A. Watching a Close Volleyball Game B. The Spirit of the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team C. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball Team D. The Strong Minded Are the Winners DIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1.
