Albert Einstein arrived at a party and introduced himself to the first person he saw and asked, “What is your IQ(智商)?” to which the man answered “241”. “That is wonderful!” said Albert. “We will talk about the Theory of Relativity(相对论) and the mysteries of the universe. We will have much to discuss!”
Next Albert introduced himself to a woman and asked, “What is your IQ?” to which the lady answered, “144.” “That is great!” said Albert. “We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!”
Albert then went to another person and asked, “What is your IQ?” to which the man answered, “51.” Albert thought this for a moment, and then said, “OK, next you will count how many beers we will drink, then we will have much to talk about numbers!”

It is difficult for nearly every family to teach their children to be responsible for housework, but with one of the following suggestions, you really can get your children to help at home.
If you give your children the impression that they can never do anything quite right, then they will regard themselves as unfit or unable persons. Unless children believe they can succeed, they will never become totally independent.
My daughter Larla’s fifth-grade teacher made every child in her class feel special. When students receive less than a perfect test score she would point out what they had mastered and declare firmly they could learn what they had missed.
You can use the same technique when you evaluate (评价) your child’s work at home. Don’t always scold and give lots of praise instead. Talk about what he has done right, not about what he has not done. If your child completes a difficult task, reward him with a Sunday trip or a ball game with Dad.
Learning is a process of trying and succeeding. If you teach your children not to fear a mistake or failure, they will learn faster and achieve success at last.
51. The whole passage deals with ______ education.
A. social B. school C. family D. physical
52. The writer thinks that ______.
A. there is no way to get children to help at home
B. the more encouragement and praise they get, the more responsible and helpful children will become
C. it is very difficult to make children responsible for housework
D. children can be forced to help with housework
53. A good suggestion the article gives us about how to evaluate your child’s work at home is to ______.
A. praise his success B. reward him with a trip
C. give him a punishment D. get rid of his test
54. The writer advises readers to ______.
A. learn from himself for he was a good way of teaching
B. take pride in Larla’s fifth-grade teacher
C. do as what Larla’s teacher did in education children
D. follow Larla’s example because she never fails in the tests
55. From the last paragraph, we can conclude that ______.
A. pride goes before a fall B. practice makes perfect
C. no pains, no gains D. failure is the mother of success
C
The human nose has given to the language of the world many interesting expressions. Of course, this is not surprising. Without the nose, we could not breathe or smell. It is the part of the face that gives a person special character. Cyrano de Bergerac said that a large nose showed a great man----courageous, manly and wise.
A famous woman poet wished that she had two noses to smell a rose. Blaise Pascal made an interesting remark about Cleopatra’s nose. If it had been shorter, he said, it would have changed the whole face of the world!
Man’s nose has had an important role in his imagination. Man has referred to the nose in many ways to express his emotions(情感). Expressions dealing with the nose refer to human weakness, anger, pride, jealousy and revenge(报仇).
In England there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, “to hold up one’s nose” express a basic human feeling—pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things and places.
The phrase “to be led around by the nose” shows man’s weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets instinct(直觉) guide him.
There are a number of others. However, it should be as plain as the nose on your face that the nose is more than an organ for breathing and smelling.
56. The passage is about ______.
A. an organ, with which people can breathe and smell
B. the nose, which gives different and useful expressions
C. the nose giving a person special character
D. interesting remarks about the nose made by some people
57. From the passage we know ______.
A. “Cleopatra’s nose” changed the whole face of the world indeed
B. Cleopatra had a strong will to change the whole look of the world
C. Cleopatra’s nose was not short
D. Cleopatra hoped that people would change the whole face of the world
58. The nose expresses ______.
A. some human weakness or other B. people’s shortcomings
C. people’s different emotions D. human feelings in bad sense
59. A person who follows his nose ______.
A. won’t take others advice B. is easily controlled by others
C. is weak-minded D. has will of his own
60. How many expressions about the nose are mentioned in the passage?
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five

Wealth has always been what some people long for (渴望). It is true that most of them try to get wealth by honest labour. Their efforts bring welfare (福利) to the society and wealth to themselves. There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness, especially in the modern society. Different kinds of up-to-date household equipment and latest fashions make their appearance with each passing day. All this makes our life more comfortable and colourful. Therefore, without money we cannot turn admiration (羡慕) into reality. But there are some times when wealth does not go hand in hand with happiness. Wealth may attract weak-willed (意志薄弱的) persons to be addicted to (沉迷于) harmful habits, such as drug-taking and gambling (赌博), and result in their own ruin. All these not only have a bad effect on the society but also will not bring happiness to these people.

Today our class went on a trip to a forest. When we arrived, we walked through the forest in groups of two or three and wrote down all the wildlife and plants we could see.
At lunchtime, we had a picnic in the open area, and then we came to a river and tested the water to see if it was polluted.
To our joy, we not only learned something new, but also enjoyed ourselves very much. I hope I’ll have another chance to go out for a more interesting outing.

Wealth Isn’t Equal to Happiness
The article mainly describes the relationship between wealth and happiness. Many people long for wealth. Indeed, most people try to get wealth through honest labour. Through their honest labour, they can get happiness, too. In the real world, we can make our life more comfortable and colourful through the money we have got. But on the other hand, wealth can make the people with weak will develop bad habits and even lead to their own destruction.
In my opinion, we should deal with the relationship between wealth and happiness correctly. The relation between them depends. If we deal with the wealth in a right way, wealth can bring much happiness to us. If we do with it in a wrong way, wealth will bring unhappiness to us. We can not equal wealth with happiness. We should understand that money is not everything. There are lots of things in the world which can’t be bought by money, such as health, friendship and love. Happiness depends on our own two hands to create.
