I like watching butterflies. Sometimes I think I’m the only girl who notices these quiet but beautiful things. But if it hadn’t been for a crowded restaurant, I wouldn’t have ever noticed Valeri.

Valeri was a new student. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. After a month at our school, she hadn’t made any friend.

One day at lunch, most tables being full, I had nowhere to sit. Valeri sat alone, book in hand. I walked over to her, “Is that a good book?” Valeri gave a small nod and went back to reading. “What’s it about?” I asked. After seconds of silence, she looked at me, her eyes shining, “Well, it’s about a dragon! This boy, Eragon, finds this dragon egg when he goes playing one day. He thinks it’s a rock! The egg hatches(孵化)and Eragon hides the dragon from his cousin and uncle until it gets too big .”

Two weeks later, I was sitting in the auditorium(礼堂)enjoying the talent show. Then a shy girl walked on stage. I recognized her immediately. Valeri held a violin in one hand and a bow in the other. She started to play. The notes formed a soft, sweet tune. The auditorium fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. I smiled to myself. Valeri wasn’t just “a quiet girl”. She knew about wonderful books and could play the violin like nothing I’d ever heard. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely.

1.The author went to sit beside Valeri because _______.

A. Valeri invited her to sit there

B. Valeri’s book drew her attention

C. no more empty seats were left

D. she wanted to make friends with Valeri

2.In the book Valeri was reading, _______raised the dragon.

A. Eragon’ father B. Eragon

C. Eragon’s cousin D. Eragon’s uncle

3.Butterflies are mentioned in the text to show _______.

A. the beauty of butterflies

B. the author’s interest

C. the character of Valeri

D. the qualities of friends

4.Which of the following words can best describe Valeri?

A. Quiet and talented.

B. Friendly and active.

C. Careful and talkative.

D. Kind and enthusiastic.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius 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 and varied surroundings. While the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(随机地) from population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical 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 identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion 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 degrees of intelligence.

1.Which best describes the writer’s point in Para.1?

A. Intelligence is given at birth.

B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

D. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

2.It is suggested in this passage that __________.

A. close relations usually have similar intelligence

B. unrelated people are not likely to have similar intelligence

C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

3.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_________.

A. the importance of their intelligence

B. the effect of environment on intelligence

C. the importance of their positions

D. the part that birth plays

4.The best title for this article would be “_____________”.

A. On Intelligence

B. What Intelligence Means

C. Born with Intelligence

D. Environment Decides Intelligence

Since around the later part of the 1950s, society started to realize that tobacco cigarettes caused health problems. As research progressed along with increasing numbers of people that developed lung cancer, emphysema, and other smoking related illnesses, cigarette smoking has become less accepted and popular. Unfortunately, the nicotine contained in cigarettes is one of the most addictive substances on the planet and makes quitting smoking one of the hardest things to do. In 2003, Chinese pharmacist, Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette as a safer, and cleaner way to breathe in nicotine after his father, a heavy smoker, passed away from lung cancer attributed to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

Hon Lik applied for his first patent on the electronic cigarette in 2003 and afterwards introduced e-cigs to the Chinese market in the following year through his employer, Golden Dragon Holdings. Golden Dragon Holdings later changed the company’s name to “Ruyan” in order to better match the company’s name(Ruyan means “almost like smoke”)to the new product. Since the renaming, the Ruyan company has continued e-cigarette development and grown to be one of the largest global e-cig manufactures.

Dr.Sam Han, CEO of Cixi E-CIG Technology, Inc, Ltd. also has a number of e-cig related inventions, including four patents in the United States and two in China that are electronic cigarette and e-liquid technology related. Similar to Hon Lik’s father, Dr. Han was a heavy smoker for more than 40 years before beginning to work on electronic cigarette technologies in order to help himself and others make the shift to vapor smoking. Dr.Han continues to market and conduct R&D in e-cig related techonologies to this date.

After the successful deployment of Ruyan and Cixi E-CIG electronic cigarettes in China and Asia, the products started to be sold in significant quantities on the Internet.

1. How many years is it since the electronic cigarette was first invented according to the passage?

A. About 5 years. B. About 12 years.

C. About15 years. D. About 20 years.

2.What’s the direct reason why Hon Lik invented the electronic cigarette according to the passage ?

A. Tobacco cigarettes caused health problems.

B. Tobacco cigarettes were too expensive for customers to buy.

C. Quitting smoking became one of the hardest things to do.

D. His father died from lung cancer due to smoking tobacco cigarettes.

3.Since when have Chinese smokers have been able to buy Hon Lik’s electronic cigarettes according to the passage?

A. 2000. B. 2003. C. 2004. D. 2005.

4.What’s the correct order of the following events according to the passage?

①Hon Lik applied for his first patent on the electronic cigarette.

②Hon Lik’s father died from lung cancer because of smoking tobacco cigarettes.

③Hon Lik’s electronic cigarettes were introduced to the Chinese market.
