What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born i

29、ntelligent 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. Men

30、tal (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 h

31、and, 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 t

32、he 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.”61. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first parag

33、raph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.

37、tupid is still under discussion. (C) Will it matter if you don't have your breakfast ? A short time ago , a test was given in the United States. People of different ages, from 12 to 83, were asked to have a test . During the test , these people were given all kinds of breakfasts , and sometimes

38、they got no breakfast at all. Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had different kinds of breakfasts.

39、e going to school ,he or she will learn more quickly and listen more carefully in class. The result is opposite to what some people think . Having no breakfast will not help them lose weight .

43、 may lose weight. （D) Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said

44、he was a genius.“ There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried t

45、o understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and

46、 pleasure.Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work,” he answered. “Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.”

47、 He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.70.

50、the second important thing in making people successfulD. there are few secrets for him to discover later (E) China is the biggest market in the world, and many countries such as Germany, the USA, the UK and Russia do a lot of business in China. Lets have a look at some important tips to help you be

51、successful when dealing with these nationalities.First, you must be punctual (准时的) with Germans. Even 5 minutes late makes a bad impression. Being punctual is also very important in the USA. In the UK, its important to be punctual for business meetings, but nobody expects you to be on time for a soc

52、ial event. Half past seven really means a quarter to eight, or even eight oclock! With Russians, you should always be on time, though it is not unusual for them to be one or even two hours late!It is best to dress formally and wear dark colours when you meet people from all the four countries. In Ru

53、ssia, designer clothes are very common. Dont be surprised if you go to an office in the UK on a Friday and find everyone wearing jeans. Many companies have “dress down Friday”, when people wear casual (随便的) clothes.In Germany, first names are only used by family members and close friends, so be prep

54、ared to use titles and last names. In the USA you will usually be invited to use first names almost immediately. The British are quite informal and using first names in business is more and more common, especially among younger people. In Russia, however, nobody uses first names, so use titles and l

55、ast names.In conversation, the British and the Americans value humour, and both like to talk about sport. The weather is also a good topic of conversation with the British and the Americans, but avoid talking about politics. In Russia, say positive things about their country, but avoid making complaints. The Germans, however, prefer to get
