Born Erik Weisz, the Hungarian superstar began his career as an unknown and not-very-successful magician. The “Great Houdini” was most famous for his escapes from ropes, heavy chains, wooden boxes, and other traps that seemed impossible to open. Before surprised audiences he would free himself and escape from his prison. By 1897, Houdini had attracted a great deal of public attention. Hed staged an amazing escape at a Grand Rapids police station. Reporters gathered and observed the handcuffed (戴手铐的) Houdini hung from a rope attached to a crane. In two minutes, the Great Houdini had released himself to loud applause (掌声). The years 1898-1926 saw Houdini achieve great success, causing his fans to reach into their pockets. It seems America just could not get enough of the Great Houdini. He staged all sorts of hair-raising acts, including having himself buried alive. The Great Houdini could hold his breath for three minutes or more, which was his favorite crowd-pleasing trick. Hanging upside-down in a water-filled glass container, Houdini would amaze audiences by calmly working his way out of locks and chains while staying completely underwater. In a book he penned, Houdini mentioned that the use of pressure on certain parts of locks could undo easily. Other tools he used included hidden picks, keys and ropes. Sadly, Harry Houdini could not make one final escape from death. In 1926, he was admitted to a Detroit hospital 第 3 页 共 10 页 where he died. Keeping up his mystical public image (形象), his death was on the most frightening night of the year Halloween. 4. What was Houdini good at according to the text? A. Escaping from various traps.B.

An accident caused his death.D. The date made it a bit mysterious. C Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical (完全相同的)twins aregenetic(基因 的), while their personalities, intelligence, and other differences between them are an effect of their environment. Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries (界限) between genetics and environment are not so clear. Identical twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted as babies and raised by different couples. When the Jims finally met at age 39, they discovered they had plenty in common. Both were six feet tall and weighed 180 pounds. They had the same smile and the same voice. When psychologist (心理学家) Thomas Bouchard Jr. invited the Jim twins to his lab, his team members found it very hard to tell them apart. But the similarities didnt stop at the physical. They both enjoyed woodworking, suffered headaches, and admitted to leaving love notes around the house for their wives. They had so much in common. It seemed unlikely these were just coincidences. 第 4 页 共 10 页 The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested. When they compared the twins IQ scores, Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion. They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genetics rather than to training or education. It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect. However, genes cant control everything, argues geneticist Danielle Reed, who also studies twins. Reeds research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA, environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way that DNA behaves, making even identical twins into very different people. “What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen,” she explains. “Things written in pen you cant change. Thats DNA. But things written in pencil you can.” 8. In the past, scientists believed that _. A. genetics worked on peoples psychology B. genetics controlled peoples physical characters C. our genes are affected by the environment around us D. environment played an important part in how twins look 9. What is intelligence mostly related to according to Bouchard? A. Training.B. Parenting.C. Genetics.D. Education. 10. What can we infer from Reeds research? A. The environment can change your DNA. B. The way your DNAaffects you can change. C. You can change anything if you try hard enough. D. Genes cannot be changed and control every-thing. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. What effects genes have on a persons development. B. The connection between male and female twins. C. The difference between identical twins. D. How identical twins are formed. D 第 5 页 共 10 页 In the winter, skiing (滑雪) is traditionally a popular sport for people of all ages who like to be outdoors. People take their ski equipment and head for the mountains. But these days, skiers are not the only people on the hills. Snowboarders (单板滑雪者) are joining the skiers for some winter thrills. Snowboarding is fun and exciting. It is like surfing on the snow. You stand on the board and ride the snow like the surfers who ride the ocean waves. The first people to try snowboarding were young people. They liked this sport because it was fast and challenging. They could do special tricks on the board, such as turning in the air or jumping over bumps (隆起) in the snow. These young snowboarders wore special clothes and used a special vocabulary to talk about their moves. The skiers didnt like the snowboardersfast and unusual movements. Sometimes, snowboarders damaged the ski paths and made it dangerous for the skiers coming down the mountain. Skiers didnt understand the language and the attitude of snowboarders. Ski resorts (胜地) didnt allow them on the hills, because of the skierscomplaints. But today, things are different. Snowboarding is becoming more and more popular. In the United States, the number of snowboarders has grown to over two million people in the last four years. Now snowboarders can compete internationally because it has become an Olympic sport. And its no longer a sport thats just for the young. Now when you visit the ski slopes (斜坡), youll see people of all ages learning to snowboard. For example, there are lessons for mothers and business people. The average age for people who are learning is forty. Some people think that it is easy to learn how to snowboard even easier than learning to ski. It takes less time and equipment.

If you would like to meet with a westerner, you should generally call at least a day in advance. If you do not, the person might plan something else during that time slot (时间空档).16However, in Western culture having a schedule is stressed as an example of good planning and organization in ones life. 17Also, the person being visited has time to tidy his home, wear proper clothing, and offer drinks or snacks (小吃) to the guests. Without advance notice, the westerner may not be prepared for visitors. If you make a visit in Western countries without prior (提前的) notice, the person you visit may answer the door, but not invite you in.18This means he is unprepared for visitors at this time. This is not generally considered rude.19 However, sometimes you may succeed in making a visit without an appointment. Appointments are usually made over the phone, but can also be made in person. 20In the West, these appointments are generally made through a secretary. Appointments are also necessary for meeting professional workers, such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, barbers, hairstylists, etc. A. It is best to call ahead. B. He may speak to you at the door. C. Some people may not follow this rule. D. Most westerners enjoy a flexible schedule. E.Appointments are required for interviews and business meetings.
