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．

6．Anyone can start an argument，but it takes a strong person to stop the argument．Many people want to be the stronger person，but they often lack the know-how．If for you，the question of how to stop an argument is cooling yourself off and showing your ability to resolve conflict，follow these steps and begin the process of renewing your relationship．
Step One  Take a time-out from the person and the argument．Go and get a cup of coffee，go to the bathroom or take a drive．Do whatever you can to get yourself out of the place where the argument is taking place．Remember not to leave the argument unresolved and walk away； just leave for long enough to cool off and get back together later．
Step Two Plan to finish the argument at a time when you can both be uninterrupted for 30minutes．An uninterrupted 30minutes is long enough for you both to share your feelings and discuss why you feel that way．
Step Three  Think and plan during your time-out so that you're prepared for your meeting when it does take place．Keep yourself from remembering the other person's past mistakes or from making personally pointed attacks．Do this by keping your focus on the issue at hand and always coming back to that issue．
Step Four  Keep the problem between the two of you．Regardless of how badly your feelings are hurt or how much you want to discuss this problem with your other friends，refrain （克制） for the sake of your friendship．Stopping an argument is hard enough with other people getting involved．
Step Five  Be open and honest with one another，be willing to show your vulnerability （脆弱性） and be open to the fact that you may be wrong．No one is right all the time，and your argument is more resolvable if you keep from feeling like you have to defend your every move．
Step Six  Say"I'm sorry"even if you think you're justified in what you said or did．Just hearing those words has a healing effect on every relationship，and most of the time we wound each other without being aware of it．

7．Reading can be a social activity．Think of the people who belong to book groups．They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them．Now the website BookCrossing．com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group．
Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share．BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book．Then the person leaves it in a public place，hoping that the book will have an adventure，traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it．
Bruce Pederson，the managing director of BookCrossing，says，"The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read．BookCrossing combines both．"
Members leave books on park benches and buses，in train stations and coffee shops．Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it．
People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it．E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found．Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home．
BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the"real"and not the virtual（虚拟）．The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries．
