A Good Friend, A Second Self
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt, my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 36 .
That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 37 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t been 38 for a part on stage, his job with the set crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 39 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.
“You can do it.” He said. I knew I could 40 him: we had been friends since the third grade, and we 41 a good team.
Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While working hard with the set crew, Kevin 42 spent hours helping me learn my lines. He often said my lines with me by silently moving his lips. We 43 that he could probably play my part as well as I could.
Three days before the 44 night, everything was ready for the performance. But when I woke up 45 a fever and sore throat on the day of the play, the entire production came to a sudden 46 . Everyone in the drama department was worried, 47 there was no way I could perform. The play was 48 to open in fewer than six hours, and we had no time to cancel. I tried to think of a way to 49 . Then it hit me – Kevin knew the 50 as well as I did. I called Mrs. Dermitt to give her my 51 . Within a few short hours, Kevin stood onstage in costume and makeup. The amusing lines he had 52 with me so many times made the crowd laugh and cheer. In a strange turn of events, Kevin and I had 53 the day for everyone by working as a team.
Of course, I was terribly disappointed to have 54 my chance in the spotlight, but I was extremely 55 to have such a good friend.

Envy the kids at school who are smarter than you and seem to learn more quickly? Don’t worry. 71
72 However, according to a recent study, IQ can rise—not just by one or two points, but by as many as 21 points!
Scientists have found that IQ changes are linked to changes in part of the brain called gray matter, which was seen to grow and become denser (更加密集) in the brains of people whose IQs improved greatly.
73 One is to train your short-term memory.Previous research has proven that short-term memory is the basis for intelligence, so trying to recognize or retell something that you have seen or heard can help raise your overall brain power. 74
A good night’s sleep will also help improve your concentration. 75 It helps you stay focused for longer the next day.
Scientists have also found that exercise helps.Walking 30 minutes a day five times a week and doing exercise will help you become more knowledgeable—as well as healthier and fitter.
A. There are several ways of increasing your brain’s gray matter.
B. Your brain deals more efficiently with things you truly like.
C. With a bit of brain training, the chances are that you can be as smart as they are.
D. So maybe it’s a good idea to get your brain in training right away.
E. Getting enough sleep is like pushing the reset button in your brain.
F. The more you work on it, the better you will become.
G. People used to assume that a person’s IQ was unchangeable
