In a cold winter, a couple had to move out from the luxury villa because of bankruptcy. The husband worked day and night to support the family but with no care of his wife. So she thought, “he doesn't love me anymore, he just cares his business...not me”.
One day, she began to take a bath, he stopped her at the door, "Let me take it first, OK?" "Why not let me shower first," she asked. "I was tired, sweetie, you take it later, OK?" She was totally depressed.
On a morose day, she found nothing to do and turned on his computer, a few words blurred her eyes...it was his diary:
Today, I was quite sad, she asked me why I was always taking the bath first, and I said to her, I was exhausted. She was unhappy, in her mind, I treated her not as well as usual, but how can I do? I wasn’t as rich as before! We moved to the small apartment, there was only a shower in such a freezing winter. But I found that if one person took the shower first, the room could get a litter warm, so every time I rushed to the bathroom first. I was thinking that, when she took the shower, the room would get warmer, at least1℃,2℃or 3℃
Now I can't give her comfortable life, bring her the luxury restaurant, buy expensive dresses for her, but at least, I can give her 1℃love.

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。
(1)Our character, basically, is a mixture of our habits．“Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; ________ , reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny(命运), ” the maxim goes．
(2)Habits are powerful factors in our lives．Because they are often unconscious patterns, they constantly daily affect our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness．
(3)As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable．We weave a rope of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken．” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression．I know habits can be learned and unlearned．But we also know it isn't a quick fix．It involves a process and a tremendous effort．
(4)Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were shocked as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth．But to get there, those astronauts had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth．More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half million miles．
(5)Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull-more than most people realize or would admit．Breaking deeply developed habitual tendencies such as procrastination(拖延), impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that go against basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives．“Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new situation．
(6)Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us．The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go．But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order．It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives．

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special 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. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but 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 degree 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 the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) 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.
Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?
A. To some degree, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.
It is suggested in this passage that_______.
A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence
B. close relations usually 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
In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means_______.
A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing
The best title for this article would be_______.
A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means
C. We are Born with Intelligence D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 ，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.
Another interesting experiment showed a bird's 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 .He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 .It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.
How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow's.
