I am a senior high school student. In my opinion, the classroom is place for students to gain knowledges. So quietness is badly need for us to learn in the classroom. So recently some students have brought their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear of the ring of mobile phones. Some of them even wasted precious time in class type short messages on the mobile phones. To keep the classroom quietly and make us focus more on their studies, I suggest that mobile phones shouldn’t be used in the classroom. At least, they shouldn’t be used where we are having a class.

6 . Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of 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 rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.
It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical 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 identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates 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.
1. Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Paragraph 1?A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. |
B.Intelligence is developed by the environment. |
C.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment. |

A.purposely | B.frequently |
C.independently | D.aimlessly |
A.On Intelligence |
B.What Dose Intelligence Mean ? |
C.We Are Born with Intelligence |
D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence |
7 . Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbors. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. “It must be Bob,” John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
“I’m looking for a few days’ work,” the carpenter said.
“I do have a job for you,” John said. “Look across the stream at that farm. That’s my neighbor Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot fence. I don’t want to see his place or his face any more. I don’t have such a neighbor!”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”
Farmer John helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出). “Hi, John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands. “I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other,” said Farmer Bob.
Then they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go. “No, wait! Stay a few days. I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said Farmer John. “I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”

A company named “Future Tours” transported Li Qiang and his friend safe into the future in a time capsule. They climbed into through the round opening and a few minutes late the journey was completed. They were still on earth but 1000 years in the future. Confused by the new surroundings, he was hit by the lack of fresh airs. He chose a hovering carriage driven by computer and began to move it swiftly. There were so many carriages that he lost sight in Wang Ping. He was swept up into the center of them. At last Li Qiang catches sight of them. Arrived at home, he was surprised to see something strange. Before a good dinner, Li Qiang felt so exhausted that he fell fast asleep.
10 . When you’re lost something, you’ll feel upset and fear that you will never find the lost object. Actually, if you think about it for a moment, you’ll find it soon.
Take a long, deep breath.
Of course, this is unlikely to be the case with keys or other ID stuff. But it can easily be the case with books, magazines, DVDS, etc. If there is a chance that you have lent an object to someone else, then send a quick email or text message out to the likely people. However, make sure that the message doesn’t accuse (谴责) others of taking the object in question.
Slow down.
The more important the object is, the more we are likely to run around like a headless chicken with the mistaken idea that our rush will speed up finding the object.
Get help from others
Getting the help of someone else anyone who knows what the object looks like will do fine.
A.This won’t help you find the lost object but it helps you calm down. |
B.This doubles the number of people looking for the lost object. |
C.Has anyone tidied up recently? |
D.Have you lent the object out? |
E.You can even turn to those you don’t know at all. |
F.Make the message more along the lines that you’re worried because of this particular object. |
G.In fact, it’s almost always a case of more hurry, less speed. |
