What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？ 71

We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. 　72 Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. 　73 If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

74 According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “ 75 ”

A. A healthy body contributes to one's intelligence.

B. Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children.

C. What people want to express is like this.

D. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.

E. It needs exercise.

F. You are such a smart child.

G. These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.

The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.

67. The word “favouritism” in Paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that________.

　A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.

　B. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs

　C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets

　D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success

68. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?

　A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.

　B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.

　C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.

　D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.

69. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________.

　A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection

　B. computers should be selected to take over many jobs

　C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards

　D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with

70. The passage mainly focuses on ___________.

　A. schools and certificates                          B. examination and equality

　C. opportunity and employment                      D. standards and reputation

       February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.

       Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.

       Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to the USA, his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.

       In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.

       During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.

       When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.

    At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.

    But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.

    The Associated Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA". Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林發(fā)瘋）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.

    No doubt, Lin fever is continuing to spread if you haven't already caught "Linsanity", get ready.

60. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

   A. Lin learned to play basketball when he was eight.

   B. Before Lin there was no Chinese-American NBA players.

   C. Lin was excited for professional games and did a good job in the beginning.

   D. Lin is the most outstanding player in the NBA.

61.What does the underlined phrases "wore off" in the seventh paragraph probably mean?

   A. arose            B. disappeared              C. grew            D. remained

62. Which is the right order for Lin's life?

   b. He was fired by the Golden State Warriors.

   c. He was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.

   d. He graduated from Harvard University.

   A. a, d, c, b, e         B. d, b, c, a, e              C. d, c, b, a, e              D. a, e, d, c, b
