选出最佳选项 A 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 56 The words intelligent and brilliant in the first paragraph probably mean while dull in the second paragraph means 5 A great and important common B pretty and handsome ordinary looking C bright and splendid slow in thinking and understanding D hopeful and helpful careless 57 A person is more likely to become

people and many animals like eating it However the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest 巢 and take the honey from it Often these nests are high up in trees and it is difficult to find them In parts of Africa though people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper 一 a little bird called a honey guide The honey guide does not actually like honey but it does like the wax 蜂 蜡 in the beehives 蜂房 The little bird cannot reach this wax which is deep inside the bees nest So when it finds a suitable nest it looks for someone to help it The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people Once it has their attention it flies through the forest waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest When they finally arrive at the nest the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits 6 and watches Some of the honey and the wax always falls to the ground and this is when the honey guide takes its share Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax but it is very determined in its efforts to get it The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit

into which they throw their pickings A skilled worker can harvest between 9 to 14 kilogrammes of tea leaves a day Usually new shoots can be picked from the plants about every ten or fifteen days Processing tea shoots into the familiar dry tea leaves requires great care and skill There are various methods of processing depending on the type of tea 7 required For black tea the young green leaves are first spread out on shelves to dry This process removes much of its water and the leaves become soft After this the leaves are passed through heavy rollers This operation will press the leaves for juices which give the tea both its colour and taste Then the leaves are spread out on floors and left to ferment 发酵 under wet conditions Fermentation develops the rich taste of black tea The fermented leaves are then dried with a hot air blower until they become rolled up black leaves The final step is to sort and grade them before the black tea is ready for sale to countries all over

people in America are surprised to find out that they are able to see our own galaxy 星系 the Milky Way with their own eyes But about three fourths of Americans cannot see the Miky Way because of man
