14、d D. helped 阅读理解： A I entered high school having read hundreds of books. But I was not a good reader. Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, idea, themes-anything

15、to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “plicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony or its very plicated truth. I

16、 merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times.（How, after all, could one read a book more than once?） And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. （Could anything shorter be a bo

17、ok?） There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most important books of Western Civilization”. “More than anything else in my life”. The professor told the repor

18、ter with finality, “these books have made me all that I am.” That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore. I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking

19、at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text. And by the time I reached the last words, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off

20、 my list.1.On hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought_.A.one must read as many books as possibleB.a student should not have a plicated ideaC.it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD.students ought to make a list of the books they had read2.While at high school , t

21、he writer _.A.had plans for readingB.learned to educate himselfC.only read books over 100 pagesD.read only one book several times3.The underlined phrases “with finality” in the second paragraph probably means _.

23、_.

What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert

24、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

25、 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 likel

26、y 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 bee dull and unintelligent. Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling

27、 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.”6. The wo

28、rds “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _ while “dull” in the second paragraph means _.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; monD. hopeful and helpful; careless7. According to the context we can guess that a genius is _ while an idiot is _.A. a normal person; a funny personB. a strong person; a weak personC. a highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded personD. a famous person; an ordinary person8. A person _ is more likely to bee a genius. A. whose parents are clever
