① “I will think of it.” It is easy to say this, but do you know what great things have come from thinking? Though we cannot see, or hear, or feel our thoughts, they have great power !

⑤ Ideas come at any time, and the important thing is to think. When you meet with any difficulty, don’t lose heart. Try to think of it before asking someone to help you. Think and by thinking you will learn how to think creatively.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answers to these questions are yes. To some extent, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in a rich environment. In this way, the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.

It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. If we take two unrelated people at random (任意), it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact  with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

34. According to the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?

 A. He might become a fool.

 B. He might never reach the limits of his intelligence in his life.

 C. He might become a genius if he is given special education.

 D. He might reach the limits of his intelligence in a rich environment.

35. According to the second paragraph, brothers and sisters are likely to       .

 A. have different intelligence

 B. go to the same university

 C. have similar intelligence

 D. go to the same factory

36. The example of the twins in the last paragraph shows us       .

 A. the importance of their intelligence

 B. the effect of the environment on intelligence

 C. the importance of their work

 D. the part that birth plays

37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

 A. No education can help make a genius.

 B. Personality, as well as intelligence, is given to people at birth.

 C. People who have similar intelligence must be relatives.

 D. The environment influences people in intelligence developing.

                                       D

Making good conversation with a stranger can be difficult. Here are some ways to try if you don’t know what to do:

① Talk about a topic common to both of you. The topic can be the food or the weather. For example, “How do you like the food?” But keep it on the positive side! The first time you meet a person isn’t a good time to complain.

② Ask open questions that can’t be answered with one word. “What’s keeping you busy these days?” is a good question if you are talking to a person who doesn’t have an office job.

③ Ask a follow-up question if you have asked a question that can be answered with one word. For example, if you ask, “Where are you from?”, an interesting follow-up question might be, “What would your life be like if you still lived there?”

④ Ask getting-to-know-you questions. You can ask, “What are your favorite newspapers and magazines? What websites do you often visit?” These questions often show a hidden interest, which can help you go on with a great conversation.

⑤ React (作出反应) to what a person is saying. If you are trying to make the conversation interesting, but the person never reacts, you will feel unhappy. So, if the person tells a joke, even if it’s not funny, try to laugh. And if he offers some surprising information, react with surprise.

38. According to the passage, you should not　_　when you are making conversation with a stranger.

 A. tell jokes                 B. ask questions

 C. complain about anything     D. talk about the weather

39. The writer advises us to ask open questions that 　　　.

 A. can be answered with a smile

 B. can’t be answered with one word

 C. people don’t know how to answer  

 D. people don’t want to answer

40. From the last paragraph we can learn that 　　　.

 A. we should respect the listener  

 B. good reactions are important

 C. we should try to offer surprising information

 D. it is difficult to be a good speaker

41. What is the BEST title for this passage?

 A. Skills in asking questions

 B. Communication is becoming difficult

 C. How to make friends with strangers

 D. Ways to make good conversation with strangers

Luke Dollar has spent many years in Madagascar studying lemurs (狐猴).

Reporter: What were you like as a kid?

Dollar: As a kid, I was an explorer. I lived with my grandparents on a farm in Alabama. It wasn’t unusual for me to go to the woods. And I enjoyed that. From the time I was 6 to 16 years old I was an actor. My mom asked me to audition (试演) for a show in Birmingham. I asked my mom to buy me some video games and she promised, so I got the part. Later, I became a professional actor. So for several years I went everywhere from the Alabama farm to many other cities — all over the USA doing stage productions.

Reporter: How did you get into your field of work?

Dollar: I grew up on a farm and I was really a wild child and came to love wild things. I did a lot of photography in high school. I became a photographer and did photography for the local paper. Then I became a student of Duke University. Duke has a primate (灵长类动物的) center — Lemur Center. I got a job there as a work study student and met lemurs there for the first time.

Later I had a chance to go to Madagascar and decided to study lemurs.

Reporter: What’s the one thing you can’t travel without?

Dollar: A sense of humor or a can-do attitude is necessary, but my first response (反应) was soy sauce. If we run out of soy sauce, the journey is over.
