听力原文： When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows about what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find ont all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed that he failed, he just turns to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special way to look at life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it. If you look at children, you'll see great differences between what we call "bright" children and "not bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life--he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. This leads us to feel mysterious about how to determine what intelligence is.

(33)

A．It is the ability to get high scores on some tests.

B．It is the ability to do well in school.

C．It is the ability to deal with life.

D．It is a child's ability to dream.

We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contra

ry, both their knowledge and experience are crotched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a negative effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright children. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!

Besides, it is rattier unrealistic to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.

In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them tile opportunity to learn how to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.

Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil call do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils lo do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to achieve this goal.

What does the author mean by "held back" (Line 1, Para. 1 ) ？

A．Made to stay in the same class.

B．Obliged to study in the lower class.

C．Prevented from advancing.

D．Concentrated on their studies.

Place a piece of dark metal and a piece of light-coloured wood or cloth about the same siz

e side by side in the sunlight on a bright afternoon. Touch them after a while, or set a thermometer on each. You will find the dark metal is hotter, though both have been warmed by the sun for the same length of time. This is because some things absorb more heat from the sun than others, lying in their colour, form. and material. A ploughed field of black soil becomes heated faster than a field of corn. The cornfield in turn absorbs more heat than a lake or a pond. This curious fact about heating explains the most common thunderstorms the kind seen on a summer afternoon.

From the passage we know ______.

A．the colour of wood or cloth is lighter than that of metal

B．if you stand in a cornfield you'll feel hotter than in a ploughed field

C．when the sunlight is not quite bright light-coloured wood absorbs more heat than dark metal

D．dark things absorb more heat from the sun than others for the same length of time due to their colour, form. and material.

A team of about 35 employees had come together for a team-building event. They were a young, bright and enthusiastic team. However, one of their chief problems was the fact that they wouldn't share information or solutions with each other, and the team leader thought they were too focused on themselves and not on the team. As a result, she brought them all into the cafeteria. All of the tables and chairs had been stored away, and fun decorations and hundreds of different colored balloons had been placed around the room. In the center of the room was a big box of balloons that hadn't been blown up yet. The team leader instructed everybody to pick a balloon, blow it up, and write their name on it, but they had to be careful not to burst the balloon. Although they were given a second chance if their first balloon popped, they were out of the game the second time round. In the end, about 30 team members wrote their names without their balloons popping. They were then asked to leave the room and, after five minutes, the team leader brought them back in and asked them to find the balloon with their name on it amongst the hundreds of other balloons in the room. After 15 minutes of searching, no one had found their balloon, and the team were told that they were then going to move on to the third round of the activity. In this round, each team member was instructed to find any balloon with a name on it and then give that balloon to the person whose name was on it. Within two minutes, everybody had their own balloon. The team leader summarized the activity thus: “We are much more efficient when we are willing to share with each other and much better at problem solving when we are working together, not individually”. Sometimes, members of teams create obstacles by focusing solely on their own pursuits and goals. Every member of the team should ask themselves on a regular basis what they are doing and what they can do for the team.

About how many team members were out of the second round of the activity?

A.30.

B.35.

C.5.

Dialogue : Beautiful Packing

John: Glad to see you again, Sherman.

Sherman: Hi, glad to see you too.

John: Please, sit down．Would you like to try our new tea？

Sherman: Great! The main purpose of my visit today is to place another order of your Longjing tea．Actually, we will place regular orders from now.

John: Oh, it is a good news for us．I have the confidence that our tea won't make you disappointed.

Sherman: That is true．But before that, I'd like to talk something about the packing of Longjing tea.

John: Did you find any problems with the packing？

Sherman: No．My meaning is to improve the packing of your Longjing tea．There is no doubt that the quality of your tea is good．It is the packing that often gives the first impression on customers rather than the products themselves so we believe the packing is as important as the quality of the products themselves.

John: I agree with you．But could you be in details？

Sherman: Sure．Firstly, we believe the out-look of the package should attract customer．A beautiful packing is surely a great help in pushing sales．To be honest, your packing is not attractive enough to buyers.

John: Do you mean the color of the design should be more bright and eye-catching7

Sherman: Eye-catching with traditional Chinese style．You see, customers even can smell your culture before they open the box and drink the tea．As you know, one function of packing is to stimulate the buyer's desire to buy.

John: I'll pass your idea onto our designers and ask them to improve it.

Sherman: Thank you John．Secondly, if it is possible, we would like to advise you to improve your methods of packing.

John: Our packing is typical tin for tea．Any questions about this method of packing？

Sherman: I am thinking about how to let your packing speak for the good quality of the tea itself．Can we find some other packing ways to show off the appealing green and sl~ape of the tea？

John: We can leave an open window on packing.

Sherman: You get the point.

John: Thanks for your suggestion.

Scientists have been taking a closer look at the lighting in our homes, offices and vehicl

es, and they're seeing a possible way to improve health.

Engineer E. Fred Schubert is talking about a new era of "smart" light sources. "We are looking at lighting systems that provide more than lighting," he says.

He's talking about light-emitting diodes(二极管),or LEDs. Most people know them as being quite small, like the lights that form. numbers on digital clocks. But recent technological advances have made them much more powerful, able to illuminate swimming pools and serve as traffic signals, for example.

Meanwhile, the lighting in offices and schools could be improved to help people stay healthy and productive, by acting on their internal body clocks. The 24-hour internal body clock is best known for governing cycles of alertness and sleep, and for producing jet lag(飞行时差) when people travel across time zones. Lights cues, especially blue light, help keep the clock on its daily cycle. We're pretty much blue-sky detectors. Our clocks count on bright days and dark nights.

But that's not necessarily what modern life delivers. During the winter in the northeast of America, for example, a person can commute roundtrip in the dark and sit all day in electric light that's fine for vision, but may be too dim to stimulate the body clock. That's called biological darkness.

How that affects people has been hard to document in the general population, but studies suggest such possibilities as seasonal depression, fatigue, sleep disturbances and maybe even cancer, especially breast cancer. Some studies suggest reduced productivity on the job. To counter that, architects and lighting engineers might someday take body clocks into account when they design lighting schemes. They may be encouraged to take steps like providing plenty of natural Night through windows and skylights, and installing bright blue LEDs near computer screens to give a dose of clock-adjusting light.

In the following places, where can we not find the LEDs？

A．Digital clock.

B．Traffic lights.

C．Swimming pools.

D．Cassette players' speakers.
