How To Become Smarter

There are three things that will get you ahead in life: Good looks, smarts and being considered as being smart. The first is God-given. 【1】 In this article we explore some different ways to become smarter.

Go to college, and get an education. 【2】 It means that you will have been exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you will have learned how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.

Read books and educational magazine. 【3】 Educational magazines such as Discovery or National Geographic are a wealth of knowledge that you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something where you can learn such as the History Channel, Discovery etc.

Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It does not seem like much, but adding 52 new word to your vocabulary will make you appear much smarter. Subscribing to vocabulary. com is a good start. 【4】 This way you are actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.

【5】 Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this. They hear an outrageous(骇人的) claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your quest for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.

B. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking.

C. You will have a new word sent to your e-mail address daily.

D. The programs actually provide you with information you can see.

E. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.

F. Do not repeat everything people tell you until you know that it is true.

G. College does not necessarily mean you will be smarter, just educated.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.

“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.

The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented(增强的) reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.

“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle, who writes for Gizmodo.com. “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”

Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.

“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's unnatural,” he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that, and this is a step there. "

【1】One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ____.

A. program the opening hours of a bar

B. supply you with a picture of the future

C. provide information about your surroundings

D. update the maps and GPS in your smartphones

【2】The underlined phrase "pop up" in the third paragraph probably means " ____".

A. develop rapidly B. get round quickly

C. appear immediately D. go over automatically

【3】According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are ____.

A. necessary for teenagers

B. attractive to New Yorkers

C. available to people worldwide

D. expensive for average consumers

【4】We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ____.

A. may have a potential market
