There were about eighty girls in the schoolroom, divided into four classes. The oldest girls were in the fourth class, and the youngest were in the first class. I was in the first class.
All four classes had their lessons in the same large and very cold schoolroom. We had to sit there quietly, not saying a word, until the teachers came into the room together. The lessons-Math, History,French-were not at all interesting, and always followed the same pattern. First, we read some pages in a book and
then our teacher asked us questions. I tried to listen, but I soon got bored .
After four hours, there was a lunch break, and we all went outside. Because it was winter, it was very
cold. Very soon, a bell rang, and lessons started again.
Three weeks passed. One afternoon, the head teacher, whose name was Miss Temple, came into the
schoolroom. Mr. Brocklehurst was with her, and we all stood up as they entered. I stood behind an older
girl because I did not want Mr. Brocklehurst to see me.
Mr. Brocklehurst walked slowly round the room. Everybody was very quiet. I closed my eyes and
wished he would leave. My hands started to shake, and I dropped my book.
Mr. Brocklehurst stopped walking and looked straight at me.
"Ah! The new girl," he said. "Come here, Jane Eyre!" Then he pointed at two of the older girls. "You two girls-put Jane Eyre on that high chair!" he said.
"Look at Jane Eyre, everybody!" Mr. Brocklehurst said. "This child is bad. She will be punished! Miss
Temple! Teachers! Girls Do not talk to this child."
Then he spoke to me again. "Jane Eyre, you must stand on that chair for two hours," he said. "You are a bad girl!"
That evening, as I cried and cried alone, Miss Temple saw me. She came to me and held my hand. She was very kind.
"You are a good pupil, Jane," she said. "And you are not a bad girl. I am your friend."
"Thank you, Miss Temple," I said.
A. Short
B. Expensive.
C. Boring.
D. Interesting
2. How did Jane try to hide from Mr. Brocklehurst?

3. Why did Jane drop her book?

Does your older brother think he’s cleverer than you? Well, he’s probably right. According to a new research published in the journal Intelligence, the oldest children in families are likely to have the highest IQs and the youngest the lowest.
A number of studies have suggested that IQ scores drop with birth order. In the most recent study, at Vrije University, Amsterdam, researchers looked at men and women whose IQ had been tested at the ages of 5, 12, and 18.
The results, which show a trend（趋势）for the oldest to score better than the youngest in each test, involved about 200,000 people. That showed that first-borns had a three-point IQ advantage over the second-born, who was a point ahead of the next in line.
The order of birth can also affect personality, achievement, and career, with first-borns being more academically（学术）successful and more likely to win Nobel prizes. However, eldest children are less likely to be creative. Charles Darwin, for example, was the fifth child of six.
Exactly why there should be such differences is not clear, and there are a number of theories on environmental influences on the child.
The so-called dilution （稀释法） theory suggests that as family resources, both emotional and physical, as well as economic, are limited, it follows that, as a result , as more children come along, the levels of parental attention and encouragement will drop. Another theory is that the intellectual（知识的）environment in the family favors the first-born who has, at least for some time, the benefit of personal care and help.
The theory which enjoys the most support is that the extra time and patience that the earlier-borns get from their parents, compared with those arriving later, gives them an advantage.
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A．IQ scores have little to do with the order of birth.
B．Intellectual families favor the first-born.
C．The order of birth can have an effect on IQ.
D．The order of birth can affect personality, achievement, and carrier.
2. By using Charles Darwin as an example, the author wants to prove that ______.
A．eldest children are the smartest in a family
B．youngest children will usually become experts
C．first-borns are more likely to win Nobel prizes
D．eldest children are less likely to try something new
3. What do we know about the dilution theory?
A．Intellectual parents love the first –born better
B．Parents’ attention will drop with more children coming.
C．Family resources, both emotional and physical are endless.
D．First-born get less care and help from their parents.
4. The passage is developed mainly by .
A．offering opinion with further explanation
B．pointing out similarities and difference
C．comparing opinions from different fields
D．providing typical examples
5. What kind of people is the passage mainly written for?
A．scientists B．students C．experts D．common readers
