What makes one person more intelligent than another？（是什么让一个人比另一个人更聪明

What makes one person more intelligent than another？ (是什么让一个人比另一个人更聪明呢？)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 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 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 things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did" or "You are such a smart child".

1.The questions in the first paragraph are raised to _____.

A.introduce the topic of what makes a clever mind

B.compare Albert Einstein with ordinary people

C.summarise the characters of an intelligent person

D.prove that there are no answers to these questions

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.who often thinks about difficult problems

C.who is often helped by his parents and teachers

D.who is born with a good brain and putting it to 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.Parents should always encourage their children.

What makes people different from computer programs？ What is the missing element that our theories don't yet(51)for？ The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories(52)a reason to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. In fact, computers don't(53)have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer(54)is to be a model of story understanding, it should also read for a "purpose".

Of course, people have several goals that do not make(55)to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to(56)a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not(57) , and computers do not have business lunches.

However, these physiological and social goals give(58)to several intellectual or cognitive(认知的) goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find(59)about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food, how expensive the restaurant is, the(60)of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to(61)information or knowledge, what we are calling(62)goals. These goals can be held by computers too a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant, and read a guide in order to do so(63)the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not(64)out of hunger in the case of the com puter, it might(65)rise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.

Questions （1）to（5） are based on the following passage:What makes a person a scientist？

Questions （1）to（5） are based on the following passage:

What makes a person a scientist？ Does he have ways ---or tools ---of learning that are different from those of others？ The answer is no. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power saw is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works

The scientist’s knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the condition permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time mustwork under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was latter tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

（1）A sound scientific theory should be one that .

A) works under one set of conditions at one time and also works under the same conditions at other times

B) leaves no room for improvement

C) does not allow any change even under different conditions

D) can be used for many purposes

（2）What, according to the passage, makes a scientist？

A) The tools he uses.

B) His ways of learning.

C) The way he uses his tools.

D) The various tools he uses.

（3） Albert Einstein built up his theory of relativity through .

A) investigation

B) experiments

C) tests

D) mathematics

（4）“…Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone.” The author says this to show .

A) the importance of information

B) the importance of thinking

C) the difference between scientists and ordinary people

D) the difference between carpenters and ordinary people

（5） What is the main idea of the passage？

A) Scientists are different from ordinary people.

B) The theory of relativity.

C) Exactness is the core of science.

D) Exactness and way of using tools are the key to the making of a scientist.
