Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria England
It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep and though it was only a short climb I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west I used classical techniques translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop to achieve the blackandwhite image(图)

When I was 15 my family moved to Washington I tried skateboarding there but the locals were far less welcoming Within a couple of years I’d given it up
When I returned to London in 2004 I found myself wandering down to Southbank spending hours there I’ve traveled back several times since most recently this past spring The day was cold but clear tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards I found my way to the beam Then a railthin teenager in a baggy white T—shirt skidded(滑)up to the beam He sat next to me He seemed not to notice the man next to him But soon I caught a few of his glances I was a local here 20 years ago I told him Then slowly he began to nod his head Safe man Safe
Yeah I said Safe

Who is a genius This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries
Let’s state clearly Einstein was a genius His face is almost the international symbol for genius But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us And who are they
In the sciences and arts those praised as geniuses were most often white men of European origin Perhaps this is not a surprise It’s said that history is written by the victors and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club — women or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性)are really really smart Even worse the study found that girls act on that belief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are really really smart Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer absolutely not
Here’s the good news In a wired world with constant global communication we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear And the more we look the more we will see that social factors(素)like gender race and class do not determine the appearance of genius As a writer says future geniuses come from those with intelligence creativity perseverance(毅力) and simple good fortune who are able to change the world
12 What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club
A They’re unfair B They’re conservative
C They’re objective D They’re strict
13 What can we infer about girls from the study in Science
A They think themselves smart
B They look up to great thinkers
C They see gender differences earlier than boys
D They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs
14 Why are more geniuses known to the public
A Improved global communication
B Less discrimination against women
C Acceptance of victors’ concepts
D Changes in people’s social positions
15 What is the best title for the text
A Geniuses Think Alike B Genius Takes Many Forms
C Genius and Intelligence D Genius and Luck

Swap Don’t shop
You keep hearing about recycling right But it doesn’t end with bottles cans and paper Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(资源)to make and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment So what to do with all those perfectlygoodbutyou’remaybealittlesickofthem clothes piled on your bedroom floor 16 It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes score clothes from your friends and have a party all at the same time
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes the organization of the event and obviously how much fun is had It’s really easy to do Here are a few pointers
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection 17 and there may not be enough things to choose from more than that and it becomes uncontrollable
● 18 They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their new clothes home
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room 19 Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them — things always look different when you put them on
●Set a starting time Maybe you say go or turn on a certain song or whatever 20 And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits Remember it’s a party
A Less people than that
B Hold a clothing swap
C If two people are competing
D Just keep music playing throughout
E Donate whatever clothes are left over
