His mom worked very hard every day as a tailor（裁缝） to make sure Dennis got what he needed. His mom got paid very little to mend her customers clothing. Next Thursday was his mothers birthday，so Dennis was thinking about preparing a gift for her.One day，Dennis was walking home quite late after school，and when he went through the school garden，he saw some beautiful flowers. Dennis decided to pick some for his mother. The next day，the school gardener noticed that few flowers were left. He was so angry that he told the teachers in the school to call everyone to assemble（集合）.When they were all in front of the classroom，Dennis thought he should say it was he who had picked the flowers. However，his friend told him to be quiet，because the gardener would be terribly angry with him. Dennis was afraid when hearing this，but when the gardener came near，he decided to tell the truth. As soon as Dennis said that he had done it，the gardener went red with anger，but on hearing what the boy had done with the flowers，a smile appeared on his face，and he said，“I couldnt have thought of a better use for my flowers.”And from that day，Dennis and the gardener became good friends.It seems that it is difficult to overcome fear to tell the truth，but it isnt so bad in the end.31 .

Soon a new kind of protection will be usedrobots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will patrol (巡逻) factories, warehouses (仓库), and museums at night.The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to find people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with loud sirens (警笛) to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robots small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computers memory, for example.A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough ground. It wont be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be barred from the area it patrols.One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense” whether a chair or box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it wont send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot will be hard to be stolen anyway. It will weigh about 200 pounds.US companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards.

According to James Flynn，a professor at a New Zealand university，you are! Over the course of the last century，people who have taken IQ have gotten increasingly better scores on average，three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvements is known as the Flynn effect，and scientists want to know what is behind itIQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledgeFlynn knew that intelligence partly comes from our parents and partly is the result of our environment and experience, but the improvement in test scores has been happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. or our surroundings. So What was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?Scientists have proposed(提出)several explanations for the Flynn effectSome suggest that the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure(暴露)to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition. (营养) Since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the pastAnother possible explanation is a change in educational styles，with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kinds of problem-solving that intelligence tests require.Flynn has limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ testTest-takers didnt do better on the maths or vocabulary sections of the test；They did better on the sections requiring reasoning and problem solving. For example，one part of the test shows a set of abstract (抽象的) shapes and test-takers must find the patterns (模式) and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the test.According to Flynn，this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increasesEvery time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence testSo are you really smarter than your parents？In one very specific way，you may be41 . The Flynn effect is _.Aused to measure intelligenceBan increase in IQ test scores over timeCthe influence of technology on intelligenceDconnected our experience42 . The underlined word “heredity” means _.Athe technological improvementBthe advanced educational methodsCthe help of our peer or schoolmatesDintelligence passing down from our parents43 . According to the passage，which of the following statements is true?ATaking fewer tests can help us get higher scores.BExperience have more effects on our intelligence than surroundings.CNewer education encourages children to find things out by themselves.DPeoples vocabulary ability and visual intelligence have improved.44 .

It has become a very important part in our daily lives. We cant imagine living without the web, the short form of the World Wide Web.In 1989, a British engineer named Tim Berners-Lee came up with the idea of the Web. It is a group of “pages” of information that are connected to each other around the world. That is the very beginning of the Web. Since then, the Web has greatly changed the way people live. With a click(点击)of a mouse we can read news, buy things, make friends and learn anything were interested in.Now, 25 years after its birth, how will the Web influence life in the future?

People need to get close to nature and enjoy the sun. Never be controlled by the Internet.” said Berners-Lee.63 . How old is th
