【题目】

Face recognition technology is being rolled out at Beijing West Railway Station, offering a quicker option for passengers to get their tickets checked.

To reach the train stations, passengers simply need to insert their ticket, along with a second-generation ID card into checking machine, and face the camera for a few seconds. As long as all the information matches, the gate will open, and passengers can then take their tickets and ID cards back.

An amusement park in Japan has been forced to close its skating rink after a torrent of online criticism over its centerpiece: thousands of fish frozen into the ice.

The out cry was prompted after the fish were featured in a local TV report in December. Space World’s Facebook page was inundated（淹没）with complaints and calls for the attraction to close.

NASA has launched a contest for inventors to solve this uncomfortable issue, and promises to award $30,000 to the best “space poop（排泄）” solutions.

Inventors have until December 20 to submit designs for a personalized waste-wicking system that will handle everything, hands-free, for a period of up to six days.

How do you decide if someone is smart? One way is to find out the person’s intelligence quotient (智商), or IQ.

A 12-year-old girl recently took an IQ test. People found that her IQ is higher than Albert Einstein’s and Stephen Hawking’s! Rajgauri Pawar, an Indian girl studying in England, scored 162 in the famous Mensa IQ test, reported the Independent.

Mensa, founded in England in 1946, is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. To become a Mensa member, you must have an IQ that falls in the top 2 percent of the population that take the tests. Hawking got a score of 160. Although Einstein never took the test, experts said his score would be the same as Hawking’s.

However, what does having a high IQ mean? Will those with a high IQ definitely become the next Einstein or Hawking?

Not necessarily. Most IQ tests, including the Mensa one, test one’s ability in math, language and memory. However, these tests don’t test abilities like knowing how to make things work, according to Richard Nisbett, a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan, US. It doesn’t test your creativity or curiosity (好奇心), either.

Also, a lot of things can affect one’s IQ score, including being poor, food, stress and how familiar you are with the tests.

Lisa Van Gemert, a Mensa expert, said that good habits, perseverance and a strong work spirit are just as important as intelligence.

“If you don’t develop those other qualities, you can waste a smart IQ,” she said.

【1】What abilities won’t be tested in the Mensa IQ test?

A.math, language and memoryB.language, memory and creativity

C.work, creativity and curiosityD.work, language and curiosity

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.To become a Mensa member, your IQ must exceed (超过) 98 % of the total population that take the tests.

B.According to the tests, Albert Einstein is as smart as Stephen Hawking.

C.The only way to tell whether the person is smart is IQ.

I’m from Romania. China is really a great country and its high-speed railways are very fast, convenient and tidy. It takes me less than 6 hours from Beijing to Shanghai by train. It saves a lot of time and it’s cheaper than airplane. I hope we will have high-speed railways in our country someday.

My life in Beijing is quite different from that in India. Here in China, I can pay for almost everything by Zhi Fu Bao.

Yesterday I got a 4.5-yuan envelop and I bought a cup with it. However, in India, if you don’t take a wallet with you, you’ll be in a tough spot.
