         What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant
    Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result
    of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
         We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like
    a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for
    young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more
    often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.
    If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become
    dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some
    psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely
    to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to
    their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did." or "You are such a smart child."
    1. The words "intelligent" and "brilliant" in the first paragraph probably mean _____ while "dull" in the second paragraph means _____.
    [     ]
    A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
    B. pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
    C. great and important; common
    D. hopeful and helpful; careless 
    2. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _____ while an idiot is _____.
    [     ]
    A. a normal person; a funny person
    B. a strong person; a weak person
    C. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
    D. a famous person; an ordinary person 
    3. A person _____ is more likely to become a genius.
    [     ]
    A. whose parents are clever
    B. often thinking about difficult problems
    C. often helped by his parents and teachers
    D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use 
    4. It is better for parents _____.
    [     ]
    A. to praise and encourage their children more often
    B. to be hard on their children
    C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do
    D. to give their children as much help as possible 
    5. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
    [     ]
    A. Parents play an important part in their children's growth.
    B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
    C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
    D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.

    D. he was still half asleep
    4. What do the words "strange creatures" mean to tell us?

    A. They were wild animals in a zoo.
    B. They were robbers.
    C. They had landed on Earth in a spaceship and lived there.
    D. The young couple were on another planet.
    5. Which word in the notice tells us that Mary and Peter were not on earth?

         The English, as a race, are very different in many ways from all other nationalities, including their closest
    neighbors, the French and the Belgians. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of the
    Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has
    developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.
         Broadly speaking, an Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people
    he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You
    have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious looking men and
    women sit reading their newspapers of having a light sleep in a corner, no one speaks. In fact, to do so would
    seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, "On
    entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers." Needless to say, he was not being serious.
    There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately
    suspected.
         In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement,
    etc., often accompanied by appropriate gestures. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an
    Englishman feels no less deeply than any one of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far
    less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl.
    Whereas a more emotional man might describe her as "an excellent jewel", "extremely beautiful", and "precious",
    the Englishman will flatly state "Oh, she's all right." An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and
    enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, "It's not bad you know." or on seeing very unusual
    scenery he might convey his pleasure by saying. "Nice, yes, very nice." The overseas visitor must not be
    disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that "all right", "not bad",
    and"nice", very often have the sense of "first-class", "excellent", and "beautiful". This use of language of a
    unique style, particularly common in England is known as restrained statement.
    1. From the passage people can infer that the English are different from other nationalities mainly in _____.
    [     ]
    A. attitudes
    B. characters
    C. habits
    D. all the above
    2. If one doesn't want to be suspected in pubic, he had better _____.
    [     ]
    A. follow the English code of behavior
    B. shake hands with all the people he meets
    C. talk with others
    D. keep quiet
    3. The underlined word "restrained" in paragraph 2 most probably means _____.
    [     ]
    A. friendly and kind
    B. polite and graceful
    C. afraid and frightened
    D. calm and controlled
    4. According to the passage, the Englishman _____.
    [     ]
    A. has less feelings than other nationalities
    B. has emotions as deep as any other nationalities
    C. is liable to express emotion by means of language
    D. likes to have a joke with foreign visitors
    5. An Englishman's saying "all right" usually expresses the meaning of "_____".
    [     ]
    A. not bad
    B. quite right
    C. not good
    D. very good

    Dear Wei Hua,
         I'd like to tell you that I managed to achieve a full score of 120 points in Canada, where the IBT TOEFL
    was launched earlier this year. I decided to take the test only one month before the due date in June.
         You may wonder how I did it. Now let me tell you. I went over several TOEFL vocabulary books and
    practiced a lot of model tests on the computer. Apart from my preparations for the test, my solid language
    skills also led to my new TOEFL success. In 2004, I participated in the third "21st Century Cup" National
    High School English Speaking Competition held by China Daily as a Junior 3 student and won the top prize.
         Testing speaking skills is an added part of the new TOEFL test. My good performance in this test mostly
    resulted from my speech practice before I moved to live and study in Canada last year. To prepare for the
    speaking competition, my teacher asked me to make speeches in the canteen at lunch breaks. Surrounded
    by many students, I heard them saying, "What's wrong with that girl? Is she crazy?" I had to be brave and
    confident enough to stand on the stage when the day came.
         I also believe that Rome wasn't built in one day. To learn English well, we have to keep practicing: listening,
    speaking, reading and writing.
    Yours,
    Chang Mengsu
