At the same time, decision making and deep thinking are often greatly improved. 24.

Meditation doesn't help a person _____. a. hear better b. think deeply c. make decisions d. ignore smells Now go on to page 10. Passage 5: The electric lightbulb 二级 Thomas Edison was called the Wizard of Menlo Park because he found a simple, efficient way to light up a room at night. By 1877, many other scientists had been successful using electricity for light, but their inventions were not practical for home use. Edison's patient experimenting resulted in an easy-to-use lightbulb, which produced just enough light for a room in a house. Edison's victory came in December of 1879 when he used a piece of carbonized (burned) cotton thread as the filament or wire in the bulb. An electric current passing through the thread made it shine. 26. In 1877, electricity was not used to light homes because _____. a. electric power hadn't been invented yet b. there were no practical electric lights c. people were afraid to use electric lightbulbs d. no one had experimented with electricity 27.

Passage 6: It's a big country! 三级 When visitors to the United States leave the crowded cities of the East Coast or Midwest, they are likely to comment on the use of space. Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and even the central part of Chicago may look similar to great cities anywhere in the world. However, urban areas in other parts of the country, and especially those in the "wide West," look different. Take Denver or Los Angeles, for example. Although statistics show that many people there live in apartments, these buildings are small compared to the multi-storied apartment blocks of Moscow, Cairo, and Beijing. The mid-size city of Tucson, Arizona (population 700,000), which developed in a broad desert valley with several small streams to feed it, covers an area larger than all of Chicago (population 7 million). In Tucson, most people live in individual houses. They drive their cars (or pickup trucks) to work and shop in large shopping malls with huge parking lots. Perhaps it's the farmer or cowboy influence: each family has its own "horse" and its own piece of land. 28. Visitors to the United States often comment on the use of space in _____. a. Boston, New York, and Philadelphia b. the central part of Chicago c. large apartment buildings d. urban areas of the West 29. According to the article, apartment buildings in Moscow, Cairo, and Beijing are often _____ than those in Denver and Los Angeles. a. smaller b. taller c. more expensive d. more beautiful 30. The average person in Tucson lives _____. a. in a house b. near his or her job c. on a farm d. next to an apartment 31. The article implies that in building cities today, Americans are influenced by _____. a. cities on the East Coast b. their farming tradition c. Moscow, Cairo, and Beijing d. the need for more apartments Now go on to page 12. Passage 7: Personality types 三级 What makes people the way they are? Why do some people get angry easily, others always seem to be cheerful, while still others are often depressed? The early Greek doctor Hippocrates thought that personality was linked to the fluids that were known to exist in the human body: the blood, the bile, the black bile, and the phlegm. These fluids were called the four humors. He believed that inside each person, one kind of body fluid was dominant and that this fluid - or humor - caused a tendency toward a particular kind of behavior. If the blood (sanguinis) was dominant, the person was sanguine, or cheerful and willing to help others. If the yellow bile of the liver (called choler) was the most important, the person would be irritable and quick to anger. If the person was often sad and depressed, the black liquid of the spleen and kidneys (melan-choler or black bile) was blamed. And the person who had too much phlegm (the thick mucus of the nose and throat) was likely to be lazy, calm, and dull (not very intelligent). Today we know that personality results from a combination of lifestyle and natural factors, and has little or nothing to do with the balance of body fluids. However, even today the words remain: humorous, sanguine, choleric, melancholy, phlegmatic. Although psychologists no longer use them, they have become part of the common vocabulary - with some changes, of course. For example, today to say that a person is humorous means that the person laughs and makes others laugh, from the idea of having "good" humor. 32. According to the article, the early Greeks knew that _____. a. there are different fluids in the human body b. everyone shows the same basic behavior c. people who laugh a lot are humorous d. personality is the result of lifestyle factors 33. For the early Greeks, humor was the name for a type of _____. a. personality type b. body part c. natural fluid d. internal organ 34. Hippocrates believed that _____ was dominant in a happy person. a. blood b. bile c. black bile d. phlegm 35. Today the word humorous is used to describe a person's _____. a. blood type b. lifestyle c. personality d. body fluids Now go on to page 13. Passage 8: What is intelligence? 三级 We all know that there are different degrees of intelligence, but it is perhaps less understood that the way we think about intelligence may be influenced by the society we live in, and that even within one society, standards and norms can change over time. For example, since the rise of a scientific culture, the intelligence of the scientist has been greatly valued. Therefore, scientific thinkers and theoreticians like Albert Einstein and Stephen W. Hawking have been considered the "most intelligent." Recent research in the area of intelligence is leading toward a redefinition of the concept. Today it is recognized that people have different degrees but also different kinds of intelligence and that the ability to think scientifically (i.e., the capacity to use logical deduction and factual evidence to solve problems) is just one kind. For example, the ability to create things of beauty such as a painting or a musical composition demonstrates another type of intelligence, which could be called artistic intelligence. Political and social leaders all have interpersonal intelligence, the talent to understand and to manage other human beings. The ability to organize facts into a clear argument, to master languages, and to create stories about imaginary people and situations can all be considered as separate aspects of intelligence. From this perspective, the average person has different but "normal" amounts of each type of intelligence, while a genius is a person with an outstanding brilliance in at least one kind of intelligence. 36. The main idea of this article is that _____. a. scientists are more intelligent than others b. all artistic people are intelligent c. there are different aspects of intelligence d. geniuses are intelligent in many ways 37.
