Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least,

to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

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 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. Mental (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 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 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 the 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."
B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C. great and important; common
D. hopeful and helpful; careless
B. a strong person; a weak person
C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D. a famous person; an ordinary person
B. often thinking about difficult problems
C. often helped by his parents and teachers
D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use
B. to be hard on their children
C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D. to give their children as much help as possible
B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
to examiners.
A report said there were "a surprising number of small mistakes" in standard (标准) English. It asked
teachers that they should prevent pupils from using "street language and text style", adding, "Most answers
require formal expression of language."
"Many concerns were expressed by examiners about basic errors, often appearing in the work of clearly
able students," the report continued.
It added that the use of street and text language "appeared with surprisingly regularity in the work of
students who clearly desired a higher grade".
"Most answers require formal expression but even when an informal style is appropriate--students should
know the examination context and, in particular, should not use street language and text style." it said.
There is rising concern about pupils" writing skills, especially among boys. National test results for 11-year-
old boys" writing standards had fallen this year. Only 55 percent reached the level expected of an 1l-year-old
by the time they left primary school, the results showed.
Many educationalists are now arguing that teachers should also think of ways of improving writing
standards.
The report said spelling was "in general inconsistent (不一致)" and "variety of vocabulary and of sentence
structure is often limited". It went on, "Punctuation (标点符号) errors continue to be widespread."
However, it added, "Some examiners felt that this year they had met an improvement in the whole structure
of students" writing."

D. warm and excited
B. When an informal style is correct, the students are allowed to use it.
C. Boys" writing skills are worse than those of girls in England.
D. There is no improvement in the whole structure of students" writing.
to tell the number of books that were in their home while they were growing up. Their answers showed that
children raised around books spend more years in school, even if their parents are poor and illiterate (没文化
的).
Mariah Evans said, "What we found was that there is a very big effect of growing up in a bookish home
on children"s success in school. Children who grow up in homes where there are more books go further in
education. And additional (额外的) books are especially important for children who come from families
where the parents aren"t terribly highly educated. The books can be stories, sports, travels and anything. But
there, we"re seeing that the books that have the most effect are history and science."
"It says that there really is a contribution that parents can make to their children"s education. And it doesn"t
mean that you have to turn into somebody like me whose walls are lined with books. "But it really does mean
that if you spend a few minutes most days a week reading to your children, and if they see you reading from
time to time, and if you talk about books with them from time to time, and when somebody asks a question,
say "let"s look it up" instead of discussing it as a matter of opinion-that all those things can actually make quite
a great difference to children in their education."

C. discussing them rather than looking up questions with their children
D. talking about books with their children from time to time
B. the importance of parents
C. the necessity of reading more books
D. the interest of children in books
show your secret personality when you are awake because you can control your behavior, but when you are

position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.

you are very stubborn, but you aren"t very ambitious (有野心的). You usually live for today not tomorrow. This

instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You"ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just
like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will read stories about the latest events, guided by a program
that selects the type of news you want. You"ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want
more information on this brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal
computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspapers
of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers
will unite print and broadcast reporting, and offer news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology is possible now, but making more people believe that they don"t need to read a
newspaper is the next step. But refusing computers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such
a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before
the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is
making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable.
Despite technological advances, it could take tens of years to replace newsprint with computer screens.
It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because
newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry.
