As a matter of fact, the outst
14、anding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults. To find this out, 1,500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results. On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group
15、, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life. About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学), but nearly half of these had returned to gra
16、duate. Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managers or semi-professional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations. The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines
17、and had collected more than 100 patents(专利权). In a material way they didn“t do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed. In fact, far from being strange, malad
18、justed(难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.（分数：10.00）(1).The statement that child prodigies “burn themselves“ or “overtax their brains“ are prey to failure is _.（分数：2.00）A.exactly reasonableB.doubted by the authorC.an ide

23、ordinary四、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It was a cold winter day. A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth (收费站). “I“m paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me,“ she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets. One after another, the next six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were info
24、rmed, “Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.“ It turned out that the woman, Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend“s refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.“ The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down. Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a
25、warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down. “I thought it was beautiful,“ she said, explaining why she“d taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, “like a message from above.“ Her husband, Frank, liked th
26、e phrase so much that he put it up on the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson, a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn“t know where it came from or what it really meant. Two days later, Alice got a
27、call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Maria. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days. “Here“s the idea,“ Anne says. “Anything you think there should be more of, do it randomly.“ Her fantasies include painting the cl
28、assrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says, “ Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can .“ The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid,
29、 who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act. Let it be yours!（分数：10.00）(1).Why did Natalie Smith pay for the six cars behind her?（分数：2.00）A.She knew the car drivers well.B.She wanted to show kindness.

33、practice random kindness to strangers they meet.D.People who receive kindness are likely to pay it back to the giver.五、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very. many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people r
34、ead only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don“t take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catc
35、h the reader“s interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always lo
36、ok for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. However, they may just read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, o
37、r advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you thin

41、ing back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed (紧抱的) flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not d
42、o mental arithmetic. Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys.
