26、阅读理解

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation early on were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible .Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

【1】The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that______ .

A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence

C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success

D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence

【2】The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means______ .

A. kind B. floating C. excited D. cheerful

【3】Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?

A. To amuse both the children and readers.

B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.

C. To introduce the topic of the text.

D. To show us how to do an IQ test.  

27、Winter blues (冬季忧郁 )are very common and are marked by experiencing a mood shift as the weather becomes cold and dark. The signs of winter blues can be generally seen around the end of fall and the beginning of winter. These signs include feeling low and sleeping for longer. 【1】 .

28、When people who are nature lovers worldwide wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings, many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.

Julie, an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example. Even though autumn is approaching Australia's Brisbane in April, one can still watch colorful blooming (盛开的) flowers in Julie's little garden, as she tells that in her community,“Each of us has a beautiful yard. The whole community, from children to elderly people, takes care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.”

“Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says. “A lot of retired people don't just regularly organize gardening lectures, but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training. So you can see that flowers continue to blossom(开花) in our gardens throughout the year.”

Talking about her people's sense of caring for the environment, Julie says when people in the community take along their dog, they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog's waste. “In our community, you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile. “Taking care of the dog's waste can also help to develop children's sense of responsibility!”

As to protecting water resources, the Australian government has made strict rules for families. Julie says, “We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater, which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use, including car washing and watering the garden. This year, they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.

【1】From the first three paragraphs we learn that_______.

A．gardening is popular in most parts of Australia

B．April is a great time for people to enjoy flowers

C．Julie's community has a deep sense of caring for nature

D．it's not easy to keep a garden without proper training

【2】Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie's community?

A．Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.

B．Gardening lessons are often given by professors.

C．The local government provides free gardening training.

D．There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.

【3】What do we know about Julie from the passage?

A．She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass.

B．She once stepped on a dog's waste.

C．She is quite in favor of raising a dog.

D．She takes pride in her community.

【4】From what Julie says in the last paragraph, we know_______.

A．rainwater is not the best resource

B．her community makes full use of resources

C．her community owns a public tank

D．it is not necessary to water flowers very often

【5】What would be the best title for the text?

29、Facebook Is a Big Waster

During the first decade of the 21st century, a popular and new word has come into our vocabulary — Facebook. This is the most popular social networking website on the Internet. 【1】You can send messages to your friend’s electronic wall, put up a status saying something like “Going to the mall, I need to get a new pair of shoes” or “it’s finally the weekend!”.

In spite of the benefit it does on common people, it is true that this social network is a big waster. There are about 350 million active users on this website and 67% of them are between the ages of 13-25. More than 35 million users update their status every day. 【2】

The highest age group who use Facebook are teenagers. Most of them keep the website running whenever they are using the computer, if they aren’t in school or when they aren’t asleep. Facebook is just changing the new generation of youngsters unconsciously. The teenage life is one of the most important stages of life. 【3】 It is a distraction to their mind as well. Nowadays, when all their homework and research are on ICT (information and communication technology), they would easily switch to Facebook just to check if there was anything updated among their friends. 

Facebook is also where people can see the gossip among their friends, virtual arguments, relationship status and updates, who is in whose “top friends”, you can become a fan of anything, join groups, post pictures and videos, play childish games, invite friends to parties or events and a lot more. Generally, all these would just disturb people into living life to the fullest. It’s not just teens who become addicted, even grown-ups do. An average person spends about 55 minutes on Facebook. 【4】 Technology might be taking over people’s life. Furthermore, people who use Facebook through their mobile phones are 50% more active on Facebook than non-mobile phone users. This shows people using Facebook on their phones as well as computers just can’t stand being away from the website. Facebook is like crack to some folk.

【5】 This would make them think how life is like without saying what’s on their mind to all their friends on the Internet. A break would also make them more active, like socializing in person. This would finally help them focus better in school or in work. Although about 80% of people who take a break would come back to Facebook within days.

A．And 2.5 billion photos are added each month.

B．Wasting it on Facebook is not encouraging in any way.

C．This statistic isn’t that bad but some people spend about 3-5 hours.

D．It is time people should take a break from Facebook once in a while.

E．As a result, the average Facebook users have 130 friends who they share links with.

F．Usually, when people hear the words “social networking”, their brains automatically go to sites such as Twitter or Facebook.

G．The main idea of Facebook is that you can keep in touch with all your friends around the world who have Facebook.
