She told me 2 . Every Friday afternoon she asks her students to take out a piece of paper and write down the names of four children who they'd like to 3 with the following week. The students should also nominate one student who they believe has been an 4 student that week. The paper requires to be handed in. 5 the students go home, she began to study the sheets of paper . In fact , she is not looking for a new seating chart or " excellent students" but 6 children. She is 7 whose gifts are going unnoticed . And she will take action to help those who are not getting along with others right away. I think that this is the most wonderful method I have ever met. It's 8 taking an X-ray of a classroom to see the 9 of students to find out who need adults to step in. Teachers can stop this because the 10 comes out on those safe, little sheets of paper.

But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective (形容词) “fashionable” in the same way: “She was wearing a fashionable color.” 　　But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobs…and in languages. 　　Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from his grandson in 1860. 　　Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural (自然的). We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. 　　New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion. 　　( ) 1.Which of the following things is fashionable today? 　 　 A. Surfing on the Internet B. Having a family dinner on New Year’s Day 　　 C. Learning to sing songs on the radio D. Doing morning exercises at school. 　　( ) 2.Today fashions change very quickly because _________. 　　 A.People read newspapers every day B. radios send information from one country to another 　 C. new things that people like are often shown on TV 　　 D. people quickly learn what is happening in the world 　　( ) 3.“There is money in fashion.” means _________. 　　 A. clothes are expensive B. money comes from fashion 　 　 C. people like new things D. there are no fashions without money B American boys and girls love to watch television. Some children spend six hours a day in school and four to six hours a day in front of the television set. Some even watch television for eight hours or more on Sunday. Televisions are like books or films. A child can learn bad things and good things from them. Some shows help children to understand the news and places from other countries or other times in history. With television a child does not have to go to the zoo to see animals or to the ocean to see a ship. Boys and girls can see a play, a concert or a game at home. Televisions bring many places and events into our homes. Some programs show crime and other things that are bad for children, so parents sometimes help them to find other interesting things to do. ( ) 4. Children usually spend _______ a day in school. A. six hours B. more than eight hours C. only a few hours D. four hours ( ) 5. "Televisions bring many places and events into our homes." means "_______." A. Televisions make things happen on homes B. We can know places and events without going to see them C. We can see houses and buildings on TV D. We can find them easily ( ) 6. Parents sometimes help their children find other things to do when there is _______ for children on TV. A. a bad program B. an animal C. a game D. an uninteresting film C Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone's eyes are different. So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You will just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛识别) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy. Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint(指纹). But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don't change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up t0 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition. ( )7. How does the eye-recognition programme work? A. You look at the machine and type a number. B. You need to speak and then look C. The machine looks at your face. D. You look at the machine. ( ) 8. Which recognition technology is in use? A Remembering eyes or smell. B. Remembering fingerprints or voices. C. Remembering faces or voices D. Remembering hands and faces. ( )9. What problem could there be with the eye-recognition programme? A Some eyes are the same. B. Eyes can change. C. It is not always correct D. Eyes can get dirty. ( )10. Which is the advantage of the eye-recognition programme? A. You needn't remember a number. B. You needn't take money with you. C. You don't need to look at the machine. D. People think it is interesting. D Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits(限度) of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view now is held by most experts. It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. 62. How is man’s intelligence given? A. At birth. B. Through education. C. Both at birth and through education. D. Neither at birth nor through education. 63. What can we learn
