For a long time, a boy wondered why his next-desk-pal was always the first in the class, whereas he could only rank the 21st.

At home, he asked his mom: “Am I more stupid than other kids? How can I always fall behind? I just can’t come up with an answer.” Mom was aware that her son’s self-respect had been damaged by the ranking system, but she didn’t know what to say to help.

She intended to say that intelligence differs and that yes, her son’s friend really was the smarter boy. But that would so upset her son. Thank goodness she kept herself from saying it.

Her son and his friend went on to high school that year, but although he tried as hard as he could, her son’s friend still outdid him. But she was proud of her boy for his hard work, sincerely proud. It was around this time that she decided to take him on a trip to the seaside. On the trip, she at last found an answer for him.

Today her son no longer cares about rankings. He doesn’t have to, for he himself is now the top of the class at the top national university he attends. After university his teachers and peers fully expect him to have a bright future.

Invited to speak to his old high school, he mentioned a valuable childhood experience. It concerned that holiday his mother had prepared for them: “Once, on a trip to the sea, my mother and I were lying on the beach. She pointed to the sea and said to me: Do you see the seabirds fighting for food out there? When a wave comes near, the little birds rise quickly. The clumsy(笨拙的) seagulls are far slower and have to struggle to get away from the wave. But these clumsy birds prove to have the biggest, strongest wings, which allow the bird to travel the furthest. When the season changes, they leave for foreign shores, leaving the little birds behind. Son, I have a feeling that you are one of those seagulls. ”

  Obama, Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common? They are, of course, all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site baidu. com, they all best illustrate(举例说明) the word “cool”.

  But just what does it mean to say someone is “cool”? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent-minded and not following the crowd.

    Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term “cool” goes back to 15th century West African philosophy.  “Cool” relates to ideas of inner calmness under pressure.

    “In Africa, ” he writes, “coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness, silence, and life.”

    The modern idea of “cool” developed largely in the US in the period after World War II. “Post-war ‘cool’ was in part an expression of war-weariness (厌战情绪), . . . it went against the strict social rules of the time,” write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules:Anatomy of an Attitude.

    But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for “cool” in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel without a Cause.  Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities. He always gets the girl, smokes cigarettes, wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies. In the movie, Dean showed what “cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

  Today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics (体育运动) stars. Often in movies about schools, students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

  But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.

    “Call it the Harry Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool,” writes journalist Joe Sunnen.

29. If you were considered“cool”in Africa in the 15th century, you_____.

A. thought and acted differently from the majority    B. had a calm and quiet attitude towards life

C. didn’t observe rules and authorities               D. had all kinds of “bad” manners

30. The heroes in Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die are likely to be those who ________.

 A. do very well in their studies                       B. are very skilled at sports

 C. are good at chess and other thinking games.  D. have supernatural powers like Harry Potter

31. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?

A. It is generally considered “cool” to be independent-minded and not to follow the crowd.

 B. “Cool” was used as early as the 15th century.

C. Disobeying one’s parents and the authorities is considered “cool” among American young people nowadays.

 D. Getting the first place in an exam can also be considered “cool”.

32. What does the article mainly talk about?

 A. The origin of the word “cool”.                 B. The kinds of people who are “cool”.

 C. The changing meaning of the word “cool”.     D. How to be a “ cool” person.

In the famous fairy tale, Snow White eats the Queens apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeare’s novel, Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury, believing that it would make them live for ever, but they died afterward.
   Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be connected with evil, danger and death. But how much do you really know about poison?
   An exhibition, The Power of Poison, opened last month at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, intended to give the audience a more vivid understanding of poison. The exhibition will continue until August, reported The New York Times.
   The museum tour starts in a rainforest setting, where you can see live examples of some of the most poisonous animals: caterpillars(
毛虫), frogs and spiders. Golden poison frogs, for instance, aren’t much bigger than a coin, but their skin is covered in a poison that can cut off the signaling power of your nerves, and a single frog has enough venom(毒液) to kill 10 grown humans.
   The exhibition also features interactive activities. In an iPad-based game, visitors are presented with three puzzling illnesses and asked to identify the poisons based on signs and symptoms. In one case, for example, a pet dog is found sick in a backyard and visitors have to figure out whether it was the toad (
蟾蜍), the leaky batteries in the trash or the dirty pond water that did it.
   
''Poisons can be bad for some things,'' Michael Novacek, senior vice president of the museum, told NBC News. ''Yet they can also be good for others.''
   This is what visitors learn from the last part of the exhibition, which displays how poisons can be used favorably by humans, including for medical treatment.
   The blood toxins of vampire bats, for example, can prevent blood from clotting (
凝结), which may protect against strokes(中风). A poisonous chemical found in the yew tree is effective against cancer, which is what led to the invention of a cancer-fighting drug called Taxol. One chemical in the venom of Gila monsters can lower the blood sugar of its victims, so it has been used to treat diabetes.
   The benefits from natural poisons are not limited to just medicine. Believe it or not, many things that we regularly take in – chili, coffee and chocolate, etc. – owe their special flavors or effects to chemicals that plants make to poison insects.

33. By mentioning Snow White and Romeo at the beginning of the story, the author intends to ________.

A. draw readers’ attention to the topic of the article

B. show that poison is always linked with evil and death
C. show that poison has long been involved in literature

D. get readers to think of more examples of the use of poison in stories

34. What is the main purpose of the exhibition The Power of Poison?

A. To inform people about which animals are the most poisonous.
B. To teach people how to handle poisonous animals.
C. To give people more in-depth knowledge about poison.

   D. To show how poison has been used for medical treatment.

35. Which of the following statements about the exhibition is TRUE according to the article?

A. The exhibition will lead visitors to a real rainforest.
B. Those who visit the exhibition can join in some iPad-based interactive games.
C. Golden poison frogs are the most poisonous animals on display.
D. Visitors can listen to lectures on recent studies of poisonous animals.

As Eric Hoffer once said, “The hardest arithmetic(算术)to master is that which enables us to count our blessings.”

  According to a legend, a young man while wandering around the desert came across a spring of delicious clear water. The water was so  41  and he filled his leather canteen(水壶)so he could bring some back to an elder who had been his teacher.

After the college entrance examination, most students will face a serious question: Should they choose a good major and a good university first? Some students preferred to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. This will make it possible for them to take their most favorite job in the future. Therefore, those who think differently believe that the learning environment is important and graduates from a leading university is more likely to find good jobs.

In my opinions, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain all, the first thing to consider is a good major, because wherever they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
