Could you live without a computer or a mobile phone? It might be hard for you to imagine a life without technology(科技). But even today, many people all over the world live happily without it. There are many tribes(部落) with much more important things to worry about than technology.

One of the most famous tribes on the earth is the Maasai(马赛族) people of Kenya, in Africa. The Maasai people don’t live in one place all the time. They move from place to place and make new homes each time they move. They build their homes in the forests from things they can find in nature—mud, sticks, grass and rocks. Their villages don’t have electricity(电), so computers and mobile phones cannot be used.

Another tribe in South East Asia is the Hmong. These are hill people—they live in the mountains in parts of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. They have a very traditional way of life. In fact, they live the same way now that their ancestors(祖先) used to live over 2,000 years ago. They’ve also got their own ancient language with two different dialects(方言)： Hmong Djua and Hmong Daw. The language comes from Southern China and it’s quite different from the other languages of South East Asia. You won’t find much technology in a Hmong hill village.

The Koryak people, a tribe in Russia, live on the northern part of them Pacific Coast. It is very cold. For food, these people catch fish or keep reindeer (驯鹿). Koryak children help hunt(狩猎) and cook food for their family. They also sometimes make their own clothes with reindeer skin(皮).

Life for these people is much harder than it is for you or me. Could you live comfortably without basic necessities like food, water and electricity?

A baboon

One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver (温哥华) in Canada. It found some food outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. The police took it to the mountains outside the city.

Big animals usually come into cities to find food. In Cape Town in South Africa, baboons come into cities when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees. They even go into houses and take food from fridges! The city can be dangerous for baboons. Sometimes, cars and buses kill them. Our food is bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are Baboon Monitors working in Cape Town. Their job is to find baboons in the city and return them to the countryside.

In Berlin in Germany, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers, vegetables and plants in parks and gardens. Sometimes they walk in the street. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water. Other people do not like the pigs and they want the police to stop them coming into the city.

In Moscow (莫斯科) in Russia, there are 35,000 wild dogs. The dogs live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people in Moscow like the dogs. They give them food and water. Some people make small houses for the dogs in their gardens and this helps the dogs in winter.

Many animals live in cities. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come into cities to find food. So we need to find ways to keep them away from cities without hurting them.

A. make friends with people B. stay in warm places

2.What can we learn from the passage?

Too many people think that intelligence is a gift of nature and that there is little anyone can do to improve theirs. IQ tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed.

It is not. Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and many other things, being smart is a skill that requires training. I discovered some of the most important tools to be smart when I watched my professors for years to learn how to do useful research. Now I will share them with you.

Practice self-critical thinking

Critical thinking is the act of questioning the arguments that are put before us. It is a valuable skill — without it, we are too willing to believe what other people say and easily get influenced. The problem is that we usually only apply (应用) critical thinking to other people's ideas. When we apply critical thinking to our own ideas, its power reaches a whole new level. I call this self-critical thinking. If you practice self-critical thinking, you will find imperfection in your arguments before anyone else. And you can come up with a better idea. By practicing self-critical thinking, your mind will surprise you.

Be persistent

Smart and successful people don't give up. They believe that they can do it, so they spent months, even years trying until finally something works out. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he succeeded. Actually, almost all scientists experience failure regularly. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.

Learn to present your ideas

You may have your good ideas, but if you don't sell your ideas, no one will recognize their worth and consider you smart. So you need to learn how to present your ideas. Pronounce clearly, express your thoughts properly. And most importantly, let your enthusiasm (热情) about your ideas shine through. Enthusiasm spreads quickly. When you have something to say, say it well. Selling your ideas is not only good for your reputation (声誉), others can also benefit from your message.

Finally, you must also believe in yourself. Those who appear smarter than you simply have used the right tools to exercise their minds. You are smarter than you think.

1.When we practice self-critical thinking, we _________.

A. are very likely to doubt other people's ideas

B. are willing to believe and accept other people's ideas

C. can easily come up with better ideas than other people

D. can find weak points in our own ideas before other people

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Too many people think they can improve their intelligence.

B. Scientists can succeed much more easily than normal people.

C. Pronouncing clearly is the most important skill to express ideas.

D. Others can recognize the value of your ideas, if you sell them properly.

3.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How to be smart. B. How to argue forcefully

C. How to be successful D. How to do useful research
