12．As long as you've paid inadvance（提前） we won't charge you for delivery．
6．Pappadavada，a popular restaurant in Kochi，India，is urging customers and the community to put their leftover food in a fridge located outside of the restaurant for the hungry to take．
People who are in need of a meal are encouraged to take from the fridge at any time，for any reason．Minu Pauline，who runs Pappadavada，has nicknamed the fridge，which was placed there on March 23and is shaded by a neighboring tree，"tree of goodness"．
The fridge is open 24hours a day，seven days a week and stays unlocked．Pauline asks that people write the date they left the food，so those who take know how long it's been there．But most food doesn't stay in the fridge for long．In spite of a huge response from the community and plenty of donations，the fridge needs to be brought more in to replace in time．Pauling herself adds around 75% to 80% of food from Pappadavada a day in the fridge．
The idea to put a fridge on the street came to Pauline late on night when she saw a lady searching in a dustbin for food．She was especially saddened because that particular night，her restaurant had made a ton of food that they could have easily given the woman，instead of her searching for it．She felt like she contributed to waste，and avoiding waste is what Pauline pays her attention to．
"The only thing I want to say no is that people are actually buying food and putting it in the fridge．But I'd rather people put their food they bought but aren't going to eat in the fridge instead of the dustbin，"she said．

20．The summer Museum in Philadelphia houses one exhibit near the entrance that inspires unmatchable awe．Look closely at the display，and you can see marks left by museum goers pressing their foreheads against the glass．
The object that fascinates them is a small wooden box containing 46 microscope slides，each displaying a slice of Albert Einstein's brain．A magnifying glass positioned over one of the slides reveals a piece of tissue about the size of a stamp．Einstein's brain represents potential，the ability of one exceptional mind，one genius，to catapult ahead of everyone else．
Throughout history rare individuals have stood out for their meteoric contributions to a field．Lady Murasaki for her literary creation．Michelangelo for his masterful touch．Marie Curie for her scientific acuity．"The genius，"wrote German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer，"lights on his age like a comet into the paths of the planets．"Consider Einstein's impact on physics．With no tools available other than the force of his own thoughts，he predicted in his general theory of relativity that massive accelerating objects---like black holes orbiting each other-would create ripples（波纹）in the fabric of space-time．It took one hundred years，enormous computational power，and massively sophisticated technology to definitively prove him right，with the physical detection of such gravitational waves less than two years ago．
Einstein revolutionized our understanding of the very laws of the universe．But our understanding of how a mind like his works remains stubbornly stagnant．What set his brainpower，his thought processes，apart from those of his merely brilliant peers？What makes a genius？
Philosohers have long been puzzling over the origins of genius．Early Greek thinkers believed an overabundance of black bile-one of proposed by Hippocrates-endowed poets，philosophers，and other famous souls with"extraordinary powers，"says historian Darrin McMahon，author of Divine Fury：A History of Genius．Phrenologists（骨相学家）attempted to find genius in bumps on the head； they collected skulls-including philosopher Immanuel Kant's-which they examined，measured，and weighed．
None of them discovered a single source of genius，and such a thing is unlikely to be found．Genius is too abstract，too subjective，too wedded to the verdict of history to be easily identified．And it requires the ultimate expression of too many features to be simplified into the highest point on one human scale．Instead we can try to understand it by cracking the complex and mixed qualities-intelligence，creativity，perseverance，and simple good fortune，to name a few-that combine to create a person capable of changing the world．

58．Why does the author talk about the"marks"in paragraph ONE？C
A．He is unsatisfied with the untidy environment of the museum
B．He is angry about the disrespect to the exhibit
C．He is about a explain the exhibit's popularity
D．He is amazed at the huge population visiting the museum
59．What can be inferred from Paragraph？C
A．It took Einstein years to prove the existence of gravitational waves．
B．Arthur Schopenhauer was widely acknowledged as a genius in history
C．Einstein made incredible prediction despite lack of sources
D．Geniuses have limited influences just as comets do
60．What is the author most likely to talk about after this passage？B
A．Examples of geniuses who possess such qualities
B．Importance of such qualities in becoming a genius
C．Ways to combine qualities with good fortune
D．Means to make a genius．
7．Most children are now working longer hours than their parents with some saving for over 46hours a week，according to a new survey．
The research shows that parents are creating crazy schedules for their children with after school activities in addition to school tasks．This means children are actually working harder than the average parents who only work fro 37.5 hours a week．
The average child already completes 30 hours and 50 minutes a week at school from Monday to Friday，as well as seven hours and 51 minutes of clubs and homework．Actively reading with parents daily takes a further five hours and 49 minutes a week．The Center Parcs study of 2，000 parents also found the average child also helps with housework for up to an hour and 37 minutes each week．
Colin Whaley，marketing director from Center Pares，said，"We made this report to further understand family life and what challenges parents and children are facing and overcoming，so we can always make sure we're offering what they need．What has undoubtedly come out of this is the need for families-parents and children alike-to take time out to relax．"
In response to the findings，Center Parcs let child psychologist（心理学家）Dr Sam Wass to develop a Recommended Daily Allowance （RDA） for free time which needs three hours and 51minutes every day．The RDA provides a variety of free-time activities，which will allow children to use their imagination and develop creative thinking．The RDA really creates the best environment to relax and the best short break possible for children．
