第1题,While I was working as a child psychologist,a principal phoned
me."I'm baffled,"he said."A child has written an essay called ‘The
Properties of the Nucleus.’"His teacher can't understand it.Neither
can I."I went to the school and met Mark,an eight-year-old with
ginger hair and freckles.He looked like a very ordinary boy to me.I
proceeded with the intelligence test."What is Mars?"I asked.Most
children his age say,"A chocolate bar."He described the planet in
detail.He quickly completed the tests,including a math test for much
older children.Then he looked at me as if to say:"Can't you come up
with something more difficult?"I had seen gifted children before,but
this boy was "off the map"as far as assessing his IQ was
concerned.Mark's principle and arranged for Mark to be tutored by a
science teacher.But in many ways he was just a normal child.We
wanted him to be socially adjusted as well as intellectually
outstanding.So we also encouraged him to join the Club Scouts and we
kept him in class with kids of his age for the time being.I asked
Mark's parents what they thought of him."He can be a pain in the
neck,"his mother said."He asks such impossible questions,"she
smiled."But we love him dearly."This was crucial.Like the rest of
us,gifted children need to be loved.He gained a first-class honors
degree from Cambridge,is now chairman of his own computer company
and is happily married with two children. 问题：Which of the following
is not ture? ( )
A、the author and the principal seperated the boy from the other
children to be tutored by a science teacher
B、the author and the principal encouraged the boy to join the Club
Scouts
C、the gifted children needed love like the rest of us
D、the boy might not be stupid

第2题,You don＇t have to set up a foundation or spend hours raising
money to help the environment.Joey Gordon-Levitt,16,does his part by
simply collecting his newspapers,plastic,and cans-and have them
recycled."Everyone should recycle,"the teen star says.Singer and
actor Better Midler goes a step further-She picks up other people＇s
garbage.For example,Midler has helped remove truckloads of trash
from Fort Tryon Park in New York City.Such simple efforts at trash
collection and reduction are catching on.Last year,the Environmental
Protection Agency counted 7,500 recycling programs in the US. That＇s
up from just 1,000 programs in 1988.Almost half of the country＇s
population now lives in towns and cities with curbside recycling.So
we＇re on the right track to reducing trash.But we still have a long
way to go.In 1994, about 40% of paper products and plastic soda
bottles produced in this country were recycled. But only 2% of food
packaging was recovered!We also have to work on creating more demand
for recycled material.You can help by checking labels-and buying
products made from recovered paper, plastic,and metal.Recycling
saves resources like water and trees,and cuts down on air
pollution.So what are you waiting for?Get to work taking care of our
"rock.""If we don＇t,we＇ll all have to move to Mars,"says
Gordon-Levitt."The only problem is that we don＇t know how to do that
yet!" 问题： What is unusual about Better Midler?
A、She helps the environment
B、She picks up other peoples trash
C、she collects newspapers, plastic and cans like Gordon-Levitt
D、she urges other people to take their garbage out of the city
