6、ER SHEET.Passage 1What 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 a

7、nswers 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 exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play wi

8、th 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 carefu

9、l 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 things to their childre

10、n, such as “That was a very clever thing you did." or " You are such a smart child.”1. The word a intelligent " in the 1st paragraph probablyrimeanA.TB. F2. According to the context we can guess that a genius is a normal person while an idiot is a funny person.A.TB. F3. A person born

11、with a good brain and putting it into active use is more likely to become a genius.A. TB. F4. It is better for parents to praise and encourage their children more often.A. TB. F5. Intelligence is obviously the result of where you live.A. TB. FPassage 2What makes a person a scientist? Does he have wa

12、ys or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scient

13、ists, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientist s knowledge must

14、be exact. There is no room for half right. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explai

15、ned by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein s ideas were s

16、hown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.6.

21、and self-sacrifice made most for the benefits of others-they are people against whom we measure others. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation s consciousness and development as well as the lives of those who admire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where true heroes a

22、nd heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea of heroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Some maintain that because the Cold War is over and because America is at peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, the overall crime rate is down, poverty has been eas

23、ed by a strong and growing economy, and advances continue to be made in medical science.Cultural icons are hard to define, but we know them when we see them.

24、cons and others m ere celebrities? That s hard to answer. In part, their lives have the quality of a story to tell.
