I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. A newspaper reporter him why he was able to be so much more than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?

He that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!

When his mother came into the kitchen,instead of at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and mess you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”

Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵),a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?” He chose the sponge and together they up the spilled milk.

His mother then said,“You know,what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let's go out in/span> the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful !

This scientist then remarked it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be to make mistakes. Instead, he knew that mistakes were just for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific are all about.Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually something valuable.

【题目】One day, Amy is digging in the ground for a potato when along comes Tom. Seeing that there is no one in sight, Tom starts to scream. Tom’s angry mother rushes over and drives Amy away. Once his mum has gone, Tom helps himself to Amy’s potato.

We’ve all experienced similar annoying tricks when we were young—the brother who stole your ball and then got you into trouble by telling your parents you had hit him. But Amy and Tom are not humans. They’re African baboons(狒狒).1

Tom’s scream and his mother’s attack on Amy could have been a matter of chance, but Tom was later seen playing the same tricks on others.2

Studying behavior like this is complicated but scientists discovered apes() clearly showed that they intended to cheat and knew when they themselves had been cheated.3An ape was annoying him, so he tricked her into going away by pretending he had seen something interesting. When she found nothing, she “walked back, hit me over the head with her hand and ignored me for the rest of the day.”

Another way to decide whether an animal’s behavior is deliberate is to look for actions that are not normal for that animal. A zoo worker describes how an ape dealt with an enemy. “He slowly stole up behind the other ape, walking on tiptoe. When he got close to his enemy, he pushed him violently in the back, then ran indoors.” Wild apes do not normally walk on tiptoe.4But looking at the many cases of deliberate trickery in apes, it is impossible to explain them all as simple copying.

It seems that trickery does play an important part in ape societies.5Studying the intelligence of our closest relative could be the way to understand the development of human intelligence.

AAn amusing example of this comes from a psychologist working in Tanzania.

BAnd playing tricks is as much a part of monkey behavior as it is of human behavior.

CSo the psychologists asked his colleagues if they had noticed this kind of trickery.

DOf course it’s possible that it could have learnt from humans that such behavior works, without understanding why.

E. This use of a third individual to achieve a goal is only one of the many tricks commonly

used by baboons.

F. The ability of animals to cheat may be a better measure of their intelligence than their use

of tools.

G. In most cases the animal probably doesn’t know it is cheating.

【题目】We're so well educated—but we're useless students who have lost the ability to do anything practical. The only thing we've mastered is consumption.

Large numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we've grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.

Looking back on my first couple of weeks of living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. Unfamiliar to fresher's, there are many hidden dangers in the dirty corners of students accommodation.

I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and lots of cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic (居家的) skills I missed out in my modern education.

In 2006 and 2010, the charming educationist Sir Ken Robinson gave two very amusing talks in which he discussed the importance of creativity in education. Robinson's main viewpoint is that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents. I would like to go a step further and propose that besides our talents, the system takes away what used to be passed from generation to generation—a working knowledge of basic life skills.

Today's graduates may have earned themselves honor in history, law or economies, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.

Since the invention of the Internet, it has never been easier for people to access information, but our highly specialized education has made us more one-sided than ever.

I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of "domestic science" education, before the current lack leads to serious accidents in student halls.

【1】People call us useless students for the reason that __________.

A. what we've learned is beyond consumption

B. we are educated generation

C. we've entered higher education

D. our living skills are so poor

【2】Which is NOT the incident the writer had during the first few weeks in student halls?

A. He was seriously burnt by boiled eggs.

B. He was accidentally poisoned by food.

C. He damaged his clothes while ironing.

D. He was severely beaten by freshers.

【3】According to Robinson's opinion, our current education __________.

A. focuses on the importance of creativity

B. dislocates people from their natural talents

C. has equipped students with basic life skills

D. has followed the tradition properly

【4】Why are the graduates poor at basic life skills?

A. Because they are not interested in them.

B. Because they have little relevant practice.

C. Because they are affected by the Internet.

D. Because they are easy to be one-sided.

【5】The main purpose of writing the passage is that __________.

A. there is no need to introduce "domestic science"

B. it's time we did something to current education

C. more attention should be paid to natural science

D. accidents should be prevented in student halls

【题目】(London)—If it really is what’s on the inside that counts, then a lot of thin people might be in trouble.

Some doctors now think that the internal( 内部的) fat surrounding important organs like the heart or liver could be as dangerous as the external fat which can be noticed more easily.

“Being thin doesn’t surely mean you are not fat,” said Dr Jimmy Bell at Imperial College. Since 1994, Bell and his team have scanned nearly 800 people with MRI(核磁共振) machines to create “fat maps” showing where people store fat.

According to the result, people who keep their weight through diet rather than exercise are likely to have major deposits (沉积)of internal fat, even if they are slim.

Even people with normal Body Mass Index scores can have surprising levels of fat deposits inside. Of the women, as many as 45 percent of those with normal BMI scores (20 to 25) actually had too high levels of internal fat. Among men, the percentage was nearly 60 percent.

According to Bell, people who are fat on the inside are actually on the edge of being fat. They eat too many fatty and sugary foods, but they are not eating enough to be fat. Scientists believe we naturally store fat around the belly first, but at some point, the body may start storing it elsewhere.

Doctors are unsure about the exact dangers of internal fat, but some think it has something to do with heart disease and diabetes. They want to prove that internal fat damages the body’s communication systems.

The good news is that internal fat can be easily burned off through exercise or even by improving your diet. “If you want to be healthy, there is no short cut. Exercise has to be an important part of your lifestyle,” Bell said.

【1】What is this piece of news mainly about?

A. Thin people may be fat inside.

B. Internal fat is of no importance.

C. Internal fat leads to many diseases.

D. Thin people also have troubles.

【2】Doctors have found _____.

A. the exact dangers of internal fat

B. internal fat is the cause of heart disease and diabetes

C. being slim is not dangerous at all

D. being slim doesn’t mean you are not fat inside

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is WRONG?

A. Exercise can help to reduce the internal fat.

B. People can get rid of internal fat by improving diet.

C. Men are more likely to have too much internal fat.

D. People with heart disease all have internal fat.

【4】From the last paragraph, we can find that _____.

A. whether internal fat can lead to disease has been proved

B. exercise plays an important role in people’s life for keeping healthy

C. thin people usually have internal fat even if they are slim

D. it is easier to burn off internal fat than external fat

【5】The underlined part in the last paragraph means _____.

A. a long road B. an easy way

C. a clear difference D. a short distance
