Drew, Emilio, and Michisat at a picnic table in the City Park in Oklahoma. They didn’t care about the sounds around them. They just focused on the task they had planned to complete.

They wanted to start a school garden at Jefferson Middle School. At first, it was Dew’s idea. Hefirst saw a school garden when he visited his cousin P. J. in Washington. He was surprised at the variety of fruits and vegetables the students at P. J.’ s school grew.

“We might need some money to get the project up and running,” added Michi. “We could tell

Ms. Milano that we will organize a book sale to raise money.”

“That’s a great idea,” said Emilio. “ My aunt is a co-owner of a nursery (苗圃). She can help us design the garden, select plants, and create a budget (预算).”

C

Alexis Martin is a three-year-old girl from Arizona. She hasn’t started kindergarten(幼儿园)yet, but she has an IQ above 160, which is well above the average (一般的)people’s IQ. So, there is no wonder that she has become the youngest member of Mensa, the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. Mensa is an international club whose members must have an IQ score in the top 2% of the world. Currently, Mensa has 3,300 members under the age of 18 in the U.S. Alexis is one of them.

The average people generally have an IQ score of 100 points, but Alexis scored 160 points, the highest score on the test. The doctors who tested Alexis said she scored so high that they couldn’t even work out her IQ exactly. They think she is even smarter than 99.9% ofthe world population. Actually, she matched the IQs of talents like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.

I an Martin, Alexis’ father, said his daughter showed signs of some special abilities at the age of one and she began reading books for pupils when she was just two years old. Now at the age of three, Alexis is reading on a fifth gradelevel.

“From 12 months old, we’d be driving around in the car and she would repeat her bedtimestories from the night before,”he said. “She didn’t just repeat them. She could remember every word of them exactly.”

Ian Martin thinks his daughter also stands out when it comes to learning new

languages. “Anytime she learns a word and just picks it up through anything. She never ever uses it in the incorrect situation, ever.”Ian said.

[While Alexis’s parents are proud that their three-year-old daughter has become a member in Mensa, they are also aware of the price that comes with every gift. The doctors say Alexis should never attend a normal school and children with her level of intelligence(智力)

often experience high anxiety(焦虑) unless they’re around similarly gifted boys and

girls. Her parents decide to follow the advice and try to look for proper ways to help her get involved into society.

48. Mensa only accepts ____________. A. teenagers under 18 in the U.S.

B. people with IQs above 160 in the U.S. C. talents in the world like Albert Einstein D. people withIQs in the top 2% of the world

49. From the passage, we know that Alexis’ IQ is____________. A. getting higher through training B. beyond the limit of the IQ test C. above the IQ of Stephen Hawking D. growing too fast to get an exact score

50. One of Alexis’ special abilities is that____________. A. she could read stories at the age of one

B. she could write books for pupils at the age of two C. she canremember every word of what her parents said D. she can learn new words quickly and use them properly 51.

Alexis’parents won’t be able to find her a normal school. D. Alexis may feel it hard to get along with the average people.

It is an argument that has divided the East and the West for centuries: Are

chopsticks better than the knife and fork, or vice versa? Now the winner may finally be decided, on environmental ground.

Chopsticks are made from a variety of materials, but bamboo and wood chopsticks

are more popular. They are usually cheaper, lower in temperature conduction and provide better sense for holding food. That’s why almost all disposable (一次性的) chopsticks are made of bamboo or wood. With cutting down 25 million fully-grown trees a year to make chopsticks, China has ranked number one among the producers. “We must change our habitsand encourage people to take their own chopsticks when eating out,” said Mr. Bo, the owner of a forestry industry company in China. He even wentso faras to suggest that restaurants should offer metal knives and forks instead. If Mr. Bo’s suggestion is widely accepted, it would be a dark moment in chopsticks’ 4,000-year history.

Chopsticks were invented in ancient China and later spread around Asia. They are not only used as eating tools but also used for cooking, stirring the fire and serving food. Koreans sometimes use metal chopsticks because of their love of barbecue (烧烤). Chinese chopsticks are longer than Korean and Japanese chopsticks in order to reach the dishes in the center of the table. There are 1.4 billion people using 80 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks in China

every year. However, the most widespread use of disposable chopsticks is in Japan. Around a total of 24 billion pairs are used in Japan each year, which means each Japanese uses almost

200 pairs yearly. However, most of its disposable chopsticks have been imported

(进口) from China, up to over90%.

Today, China has to accept the truth that its forests can no longer provide enough chopsticks to feed Asian’s table habit. China is now the world’s largest importer of wood and even imports chopsticks from America. An American company said that the state’s native sweet gum and poplar wood would be perfectly used to make chopsticks. These materials do not need to be lightened with chemicals or bleach (漂白粉). The healthy materials and fairly reasonable prices of the products are appealingto Asian customers. More and more Asians start to use American-made chopsticks at their tables.

Although the U.S. has a huge amount of wood, which reduces the number of trees that are cut down in Asia, changing the table habit of using disposable chopsticks still seems to be a wiser choice for chopsticks-using countries.

52. According to Paragraph 2, Mr. Bo’s advice is that Chinese should ____________. A. use metal chopsticks instead of wooden ones B. plant more trees and produce fewer chopsticks

C. form the habit of taking their own chopsticks when eating out D. change their habits and begin to use knives and forks at home 53. What do we know about chopsticks in Asia?

A. Koreans mainly use chopsticks to cook food over a fire. B. Most disposable chopsticks in Japan are made in China. C. The most disposable chopsticks are used in Japan yearly. D. Chinese use the shortest chopsticks to take and serve food.

54. The underlined word “appealing” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______ A. normal B. necessary C. attractive D. surprising 55. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Time to Change the Materials for Chopsticks B. Time to Cut Down on Disposable Chopsticks C. Time to Import Disposable Chopsticks D. Time to Give UpUsing Chopsticks
