When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all can be，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．Probably he isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．
If you look at children，you’ll see the great differences between what we call “bright” children and “non-bright” children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聪明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to_________．
| A．get some high scores on some tests |
| B．do well in school |
| C．deal with life |
| D．have a lot of book knowledge |
In a new situation，an intelligent person________．

If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．
| A．try not to feel ashamed |
| B．learn from his mistakes |

Values join us together and set us apart. Today, our society has a terrible lack（缺乏） of values. Here are some social values that everyone needs.
Respect
Respect means to respect others in everyday life. Even if you are against a person, it is important to have respect. It is this respect that makes us human. Without respect, we become animals. We need to respect our friends for our friendship. We even need to respect our enemies because they help us to grow up and become stronger. Respect is one of the crucial values in a relationship.
Love
Love is everything. With love in our hearts, we feel no need to hurt another. With love in our hearts, we will pay more attention to the similarities in opinions rather than the disagreement. If we want others to be good to us, we need to be good to them. After all, we give love to get love, right?
Loyalty
People often ignore (忽视） the meaning and importance of loyalty. Loyalty is necessary for people to believe in each other. In no matter what kind of friendship, we need to believe in each other so that we can work together towards the same goal.
Honesty
Honesty is to show other people who we really are. Honesty helps to do better, because it makes us realize our problems and find ways to solve them. It is this honesty that will make others help you out, not because you need it, but because they have problems, too, which you can help out with. This honesty will help us follow the other values in society and truly, “Heal the world!”The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “Value” in the passage is probably_________

Most people want their children to be successful in school and a parent’s role in that success must be very important. Parents should help children to build their confidence and achievements. Parents should also play the role of a friend as well as a teacher in children’s education.
Learning about math or reading isn’t the only problem we face in school. Maybe we are having problems with teachers, classmates or other people. At this time we really need a person who is ready to hear what we are thinking. And the person should be you---my dear parents. If we have nobody to talk with, we will have more stress in our school life. Please listen to our worries. It’s good for our study and health.
On the other hand, parents can’t leave all the problems to the teachers. Although it’s their job, even the best and brightest teachers can not take care of every child. We still need personal attention, so the role the parents is to make sure we can get it. Stay in touch with our homework and the tests. Connect with our teachers regularly to talk about how things are going in our classroom. If we need more help, be active in getting it and work with us.
Nothing helps a child succeed more than a parent. A little willingness from a parent can play a very important role in the children’s studies. The more attention parents pay, the more achievements children will make.According to the passage, ___________ help children most.

On the first day of school, our professor introduced himself and let us get to know someone we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. “Hi, girl! My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”
“Why are you in college at such a young age?” I asked jokingly.
“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she replied.
Rose became a college symbol this year and she easily made friends with other students.
At the end of the term we invited her to speak at our football party. I’ll never forget what she taught us.
“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets of staying young, being happy and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!
“There is a big difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do anything, you will turn 20 years older. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men,” she added.
She ended her speech by singing The Song Rose. She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives.
At the end of the year, Rose finished the college education. One week after graduation, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.
