    Linus Pauling，the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes，was born in Portland，Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962，long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Orgon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it.
    He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substance. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry，especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts，the amino acids(氨基酸)，which are called the“building blocks of life”.In 1950，he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule，a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.
    During World WarⅡ，Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security，for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However，the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules，he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.
    From then on，Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts，The Nuclear­Test­Ban Treaty，declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones，came into effect on October 10,1963，the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace.

    For better eyesight, doctors advise limiting the hours of screen time and encourage having enough eye resting time.
    However, another study shows that sitting in front of computer or TV screens for long hours is not the only reason for myopia（近视）. An Australian research team studied young children in Sydney and Singapore to find the reasons for myopia.
    The research team found that the prevalence（流行）of myopia among children in Sydney was lower than children in Singapore, even though they spent more time in front of computer and TV screens. The major finding is that children in Sydney spend longer hours on outdoor activities than those in Singapore.
    Indoor and outdoor sports activities both make the eyes focus on more distant objects, which prevents the eyes from changing shape. But outdoor activities may better help avoid myopia than indoor sports activities.
    Jane Gwiazda, who does research in sight problems, says: “Natural light is good for eye growth. And extra vitamin D from the sun might contribute to eye growth.”
    Many doctors suggest that every child get its first eye test done when he/she is about two and half years old, and even if his/her sight seems perfect.
    It is necessary for myopic children to wear glasses to prevent headaches, trouble reading or injuries. It is also important that schools invite doctors to test their students’ eyes.
    If that is not possible, school teachers should at least encourage parents and children to have regular eye examinations and wear glasses. And parents should remember not only to limit the total screen time for their children, but also to encourage them to spend time outdoors.

    1. 1.

      What’s the aim of the study by the Australian research team ?

      1. A.
        To find the reasons for myopia.
      2. B.
        To find the ways to treat myopia.
      3. C.
        To prove the bad effects of myopia.
      4. D.
        To prove the prevalence of myopia.
    2. 2.

      Why are there fewer children with myopia in Sydney than in Singapore ?

      1. A.
        Because Sydney children watch less TV.
      2. B.
        Because Sydney children have more eye resting time.
      3. C.
        Because Sydney children use computers less.
      4. D.
        Because Sydney children do more outdoor sports.
    3. 3.

      What conclusion can we draw from the passage ?

      1. A.
        Sydney children don’t study hard.
      2. B.
        Singapore children do few exercises.
      3. C.
        Outdoor activities do more good to eyes.
      4. D.
        Room light does harm to children’s eyes.
    4. 4.

      Which of the following statements is TRUE ?

      1. A.
        Children should have eye tests as soon as they reach school age.
      2. B.
        Doing outdoor activities with no glasses is good for myopia children.
      3. C.
        Focusing on distant objects can help the eyes keep their original shape.
      4. D.

    For a while, my neighborhood was taken ever by an army of joggers(慢跑者). They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. “Come on!” My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. “You’ll feel great.”
    Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army. I’m not alone in my opinion.
    First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet a real pounding（追击）ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn’t kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
    Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn’t my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, “I love being out there with just my thoughts” Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
    And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn’t just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn’t fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
    I don’t jog any more, and I don’t think I ever will. I’m walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I’m getting exercise, and I’m enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I’ve found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.

    Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge (报复) of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.
    How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres? Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A’s in every subject. Melendres, a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A’s in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A’s in two college-level courses.
    How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren’t the only answer. “Top grades don’t always go to the brightest students,” declares Herbert Walberg, a professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies on super-achieving students. “Knowing how to make full use of your innate (天生的) abilities counts for more. Much more.”
    In fact, Walberg says, students with high IQ sometimes don’t do as well as classmates with lower IQ. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down. Hard work isn’t the whole story, either. “It’s not how long you sit there with the books open,” said one of the many-A students we interviewed. “It’s what you do while you’re sitting.” Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.
    The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn

    1. 1.

      The underlined word “nerds” in paragraph 1 can probably be ________

      1. A.

        students with certain learning difficulties
      4. D.
        born leaders crazy about social activities
    2. 2.

      What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

      1. A.
        Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students
      2. B.
        People have unfavorable impression on straight-A students
      3. C.
        Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films
      4. D.
        Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society
    3. 3.

        they are born cleverer than others
      2. B.
        they work longer hours at study
      3. C.
        they make full use of their abilities
      4. D.
        they know the shortcut to success
    4. 4.

      What will be talked about after the last paragraph?

      1. A.
        The interviews with more students
      2. B.
        The role IQ plays in learning well
      3. C.
        The techniques to be better learners
      4. D.
        The achievements top students make
    5. 5.

      What can we infer from the passage?

      1. A.
        IQ is more important than hard work in study
      2. B.
        The brightest students can never get low grades
      3. C.
        Top students certainly achieve all-around developments
      4. D.
        Students with average IQ can become super-achievers
