M: Wow, the literature class is so lively and interesting.
W: Yes. Linda uses a lot of games so that we can learn more effectively during the 45 minutes.
Text 2
W: Come on, it's only an interview!
M: Only an interview? Only an interview?! What if I panic? What if I…I say a silly word by accident?
Text 3
W: I bought a size 10 of this jacket yesterday, but I just found size 8 fits me better. Could you hold this one for me?
I'll bring the other one back tomorrow.
M: Sure, ma'am. I will put this one away for you.
Text 4
W: Sam, you look a bit upset.
M: Yes. I saw someone in the supermarket today. He was dressed in the same clothes as me. The clothes looked so
ugly.
W: Oh, that's interesting.
M: But when I went up to him, I saw it was me…myself…in the mirror!
Text 5
M: Sorry, Mom. I'm late again. I lost my keys on my way home and tried hard to find them.
W: I'm sorry. I've got used to this kind of excuse. Could you try something new?
Text 6
M: Welcome to our store. Can I help you, ma'am?
W: Yeah. I'm looking for Jenny.

W: Why? Look, I'm concerned about her.

M: Oh, it's a tree trunk!
W: Gosh! A train is coming soon! It's going to hit it! Let's move it away.
M: There's no time for that! We must stop the train. Let's wave at it.
W: But we always wave at trains coming by. And the drivers are used to our waving.
M: We must wave something red. Red is for danger.
W: Good idea. Your T-shirt is red. Take it off!
M: Sure.

M: Well, apparently, one of our waitresses is having a nervous breakdown.
W: Who? Me?

W: You don't understand. The guy at Table 4 said something horrible to me when I was telling him about today's sp
ecial offer.
M: What did he say?
W: He said I was…a good waitress.
M: That's not bad.
W: I didn't grow up to be a good waitress! That was never the plan. The plan was to be a lawyer.
M: OK. You're a young woman. You can still do that.
W: Can I? A 32 single mother who didn't even graduate from high school?

W: I think Mark is frightened to be left alone in the house. Although he doesn't look anxious or unhappy, I know he
's just pretending to be brave.

W: That was a mistake! We didn't leave her. We forgot her!
第6页 | 共27页M: When we got home, she was fine…except that all her books were thrown out of the window. She was chatting
with the emergency phone operator and had become friends with her.
W: Yeah. But we have to make sure that Mark knows what to do in case of emergency.
M: Of course he does. He took part in the first aid training program last month and passed the exam.
W: The exam? It helps absolutely no reality.
M: Hmm, you have a point.
W: I've got a solution. Let's create an emergency situation for him. Then he'll have real-
life experience instead of just theory.
M: Shh. Keep the plan between us.

Welcome to this edition of The Stories of Super Geniuses. I'm Susan Wilbur. Today, you're going to hear a story of
a great magician. He was born on September 16,
1956 in New Jersey. He picked up magic at 8 and began performing professionally at 12. By the age of 16, he was a
lready teaching magic at New York University. In 1977, he was chosen to host a TV show, The Magic of ABC. Th
e show was a huge success, and made him known to the whole world. He understands his craft more than any other
magician before him. He said, "Before there can be wonders, there must be wonder." Where others think,
"It can't be done," he always says,
"Yes, it can." With this attitude, he never stops amazing people with magic. But the greatest work he thinks he has
done is Project Magic. This is a project established in March 1982 to help disabled patients. Every year, he perform
s over 550 shows and has created many box office records. His love for magic is everything to him. And to those w
ho want to become great magicians, he gave this advice:
"Practise, practise, practise, and never consider anything impossible." Do you know who he is now? Call 202-983-
2476 to tell us the name of this magician, and you will get a DVD of his shows.

选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Before I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and
threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder
and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.
There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children
was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created
an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.
I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher
第14页 | 共27页was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking，the boy ran in. I told my co-worker
that I would take care of him.
I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that
he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So
I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We
continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:
“So what happened today?”
It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was
slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due
to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and
saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated
simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which
might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes
before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.
【小题1】.The boy made trouble for his teacher because he_____ .
A. was accused of destroying property
B. was told not to yell at other children
C. was made to do things against his will
D. was blamed for creating an air of tension
【小题2】.Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?
A. She didn’t want to make it worse.
B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.
C. She was tired of shouting and threats.
D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.
【小题3】.The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by _____.
A. playing games with him
B. giving him a good suggestion
C. describing his teacher’s feelings
D. avoiding making critical remarks
【小题4】 Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?
第15页 | 共27页A. He was sorry about his reputation.
B. He was regretful about his behavior.
C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.
D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.

London’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼)is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a
height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance
of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.
The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for
London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶)• He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect
the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a
very thin，sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the
第16页 | 共27页spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of
London or the tall masts (桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames.
The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but
eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.
Before building work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they
are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New
York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing.
There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too
big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.
Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is
becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the
hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the
division in society between the very rich and the poor.
The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will
ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.
【小题1】London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of._____
A. its cost
B its size
C .its shape
D .its height
【小题2】When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to ._____
A. change London’s skyline
B .inherit London’s tradition
C .imitate the Egyptian style
D. attract potential visitors
【小题3】The critics who refer to social division think the Shard_______.
A .is only preferred by the rich
B .is intended for wealthy people
C. is far away from the poor area
D. is popular only with Londoners
第17页 | 共27页【小题4】Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Shard: Cheers and Claps
B. The Shard: Work of a Great Architect
C. The Shard: New Symbol of London?
D.The Shard: A Change for the Better?
C
Working with a group of baboons (狒狒）in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of
Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a
box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while
others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them
第18页 | 共27页either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.
She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not
learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave
ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced
baboon did.
The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by
observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.
This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in
social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things.
The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认 知的）tasks not
because they aren’t clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social
information.
The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If
some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable
individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all
group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.
【小题1】What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.
B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.
C.The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.
D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.
【小题2】According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?
A. Those that have more experience.
B. Those that can avoid potential risks.
C. Those that like to work independently.
D. Those that feel anxious about learning.
【小题3】Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.
B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.
[来源:Zxxk.Com]
第19页 | 共27页C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.
D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.
【小题4】Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through .
A. storing information
B. learning from each other
C. understanding different people
D. travelling between social groups

You’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand
seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old
wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.
It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted
第20页 | 共27页out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.
Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of
the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their
purpose all along.
There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it，s free of charge. The
small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation
for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.
It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed
off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered---every meal fresh and to order. No
menu here.
There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There9 s no street noise. The
only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with
your toe (脚趾)• You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.
The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-
emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to
your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun,and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world
of traffic, stress, work，and hurry.
Normally you，re the type who can，t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach
now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around theworld.
“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.
【小题1】When the author first went to Huaplee Beach,____
A. he found it unworthwhile
B. he failed to sort himself out
C. he became sensitive to smell
D. he had difficulty in finding it
【小题2】What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?
A. No menu.
B. Free food.
C. Self service.
D. Quick delivery.
第21页 | 共27页【小题3】In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he____ .
A .sits in a beach chair
B. forgets his daily routine
C. plans a detailed schedule
D. draws pictures in the sand
【小题4】What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?
A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.
B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.
C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.
D. He should have come to the place earlier.

For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest
that Americans afford trains, jets，and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of
elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no

argue，the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to
Wilk the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible

for people to spread horizontally (水平地)，and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering
vertical (垂直的)columns.
If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief,
boring, and even awkward experience^one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have
nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.
In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his
attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that
riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to
it”， Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.” That
mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in
as we go about our lives.
Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded,
America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012
Vertical Transportation Industry”一are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who
really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.
