Wh is a genius? This questin has greatly interested humankind fr centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almst the internatinal symbl fr genius. But we want t g beynd ne man and explre the nature f genius itself. Why is it that sme peple are s much mre intelligent r creative than the rest f us? And wh are they?
In the sciences and arts, thse praised as geniuses were mst ften white men, f Eurpean rigin. Perhaps this is nt a surprise. It’s said that histry is written by the victrs, and thse victrs set the standards fr admissin t the genius club. When cntributins were made by geniuses utside the club—wmen, r peple f a different clr r belief—they were unacknwledged and rejected by thers.

It desn’t take a genius t knw the answer: abslutely nt.

And the mre we lk, the mre we will see that scial factrs(因素)like gender, race, and class d nt determine the appearance f genius.

Reflecting(回忆) n the past abut thse decisins r actins that can’t be reversed(推翻) and being ccupied with thughts f “What if?” is n way t live. But there are a few things in life I’d prbably d differently if I had the chance.
I nce majred in architecture — smething I had been crazy abut fr as lng as I culd remember — and then I suddenly had a change f heart. I made an appintment with my adviser, and tld him I was n lnger certain I wanted t pursue a career in architecture.
“Dn’t give up n yur childhd dream!” “He’s right,” I thught. “I shuld just stick it ut and I shuldn’t disappint the little girl wh nce lved architecture.”
It was awful. I was agnized, hlding n t a childhd dream that had lng since faded. When I talked with a friend abut it a year later, he asked: “Right nw, what d yu want t d with yur life?” That’s when I came t the realizatin that dreams change ver time and that yu shuld give up the childhd dream if it’s nt what yu want as an adult. Luckily, it wasn’t t late. After sme serius thught, I changed my majr t jurnalism. It wasn’t smething I had always imagined myself pursuing — but at that mment, it was what I wanted.
We grw up, and smetimes ur dreams change — and that’s perfectly OK. Yu just need t ask yurself every nce in a while, “Is this still what I want?” If the answer is n, mve n and start chasing a new ne.
28．What des the authr suggest in Paragraph 1?

D．She didn’t want her childhd dream t fade.
31．What lessn did the authr learn frm the experience?
A．Dn’t fllw thers’ career advice B．It’s OK t switch t ur real lve.
C．Imprve us befre realizing ur dream D．Childhd dreams are hard t insist n

Life in the Clear
Transparent animals let light pass thrugh their bdies the same way light passes thrugh a windw. These animals typically live between the surface f the cean and a depth f abut 3,300 feet---as far as mst light can reach. Mst f them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple tuch. Snke Jhnsen, a scientist in bilgy, says, “These animals live thrugh their life alne. They never tuch anything unless they’re eating it, r unless smething is eating them.”
And they are as clear as glass. Hw des an animal becme see-thrugh? It s trickier than yu might think.
The bjects arund yu are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But sme materials slw and scatter (散射) light, buncing it away frm its riginal path. Others absrb light, stpping it dead in its tracks. Bth scattering and absrptin make an bject lk different frm ther bjects arund it, s yu can see it easily.
But a transparent bject desn’t absrb r scatter light, at least nt very much. Light can pass thrugh it withut bending r stpping. That means a transparent bject desn’t lk very different frm the surrunding air r water. Yu dn’t see it yu see the things behind it.
T becme transparent, an animal needs t keep its bdy frm absrbing r scattering light. Living materials can stp light because they cntain pigments (色素) that absrb specific clrs f light. But a transparent animal desn’t have pigments, s its tissues wn’t absrb light. Accrding t Jhnsen, aviding absrptin is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light frm scattering.
Animals are built f many different materials---skin, fat, and mre---and light mves thrugh each at a different speed. Every time light mves int a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks t fight scattering. Sme animals are simply very small r extremely flat. Withut much tissue t scatter light, it is easier t be see-thrugh. Others build a large, clear mass f nn-living jelly-like (果冻状的) material and spread themselves ver it.
Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have t make all the different tissues in their bdies slw dwn light exactly as much as water des. They need t lk unifrm. But hw they’re ding it is still unknwn. One thing is clear: fr these larger animals, staying transparent is an active prcess. When they die, they turn a nn-transparent milky white.
32．Accrding t Paragraph 1,transparent animals .
A．stay in grupsB．can be easily damaged
C．appear nly in deep ceanD．are beautiful creatures
33．The underlined wrd “dead” in Paragraph 3 means .
A．silentlyB．gradually
C．regularlyD．cmpletely
34．One way fr an animal t becme transparent is t .
A．change the directin f light travelB．gather materials t scatter light
C．avid the absrptin f lightD．grw bigger t stp light
35．The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals .
A．mve mre slwly in deep water
B．stay see-thrugh even after death
C．prduce mre tissues fr their survival
D．take effective actin t reduce light spreading
