It was Christmas Day 1999. On CNN, talk show host Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking.
"What, professor, (1) you the most?" King asked. "What do you think about the most?"
Hawking immediately replied, " (2) ."
It's a comfort to know that Hawking, one of the (3) men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex. But, that's not (4) , according to Satoshi Kanazawa. Bright people are (5) better than anyone else at making smart decisions in common things, he says.

Kanazawa says that some kinds of intelligence developed slowly over time. Many people have heard about (12) is called "emotional intelligence". Now, psychologists have discovered several (13) types of intelligence. These include the ability to learn a language, find a mate, recognize faces, and (14) oneself in a new environment.
But, is there evidence to (15) the theory that intelligence comes in many (16) ? Actually, there is quite a lot of evidence, Kanazawa says. If there were only one type of intelligence, he (17) , then people with (18) IQs should be "smart" in every way.
In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out (19) they were. In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze（迷宫）.

A
Dick was a twenty-year-old man. His father was a teacher and taught chemistry in a middle school and his mother worked in a shop. They live a happy life until his parents died one night when suddenly an earthquake broke out. Luckily his sister took him to see their aunt in the city and they did not stay at home. Everything was destroyed in the earthquake and the two children got into trouble. Thanks to their aunt who was not rich enough, they grew up but they lived a hard life. His sister was so sad that she became a nun (修女). After he finished middle school, he was introduced to an owner of a hotel and began to work there.
One day the young man fell to the ground while he was cleaning a window on the second floor. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor looked him over. One of his legs was broken and he had to be in hospital. He said to the nurse, “I’m a poor man, madam. Arrange a third-class ward for me, please.”
“Can’t anybody help you?”
“No, madam,” answered Dick. “I have only a sister. She’s nun and she’s poor, too.”
“I don’t think so,” the nurse said angrily. “Nuns usually marry God. And God is the richest in the world, you know!”
“Well, then,” Dick said with a smile. “Please arrange a first-class ward for me and post the bill to my brother-in-law.”

Long Time No See!
"long time no see" is a very interesting sentence . When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s e - mail, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect of Chinglish.
Obviously, it is a word - by - word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on google, com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing "Long time no see". This sentence has been widely used in e-mails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the origin of the Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world - wide famous Chinese detective(侦探) named "Charlie Chan" on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔夫子). "Long time no see" was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, "Long time no see" became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.
Some scholars refer America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they. change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.
You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and deja vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others, They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American and keeps adding richness and
flavor.
6. The writer himself felt surprised at________.
A. reading "Long time no see"
B. knowing the expression is standard American English
C. seeing the literal translation of the expression
D. finding out Americans use the expression every day
7. The word "trademark" in the third paragraph probably means________.
A. design of goods B. Confucius’ words
C. Charlie Chan’s creation D. representative of Charlie Chan
8. According to the passage, it can be inferred that________.
A. Charlie Chun made the phrase" long time no see"
B. Hollywood made" Long time no see" popular
C. the huge pot of stew changes all kinds of culture
D. all kinds of culture can be changed in the. huge pot of stew
9. The main idea of the last paragraph is that
A. some other examples are introduced into English
B. you will be surprised to find a tofu in a restaurant in America
C. there used to be iced Chinese green tea with honey in grocery store
D. American English should be enriched from different cultures
10. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure.
B. Language in Microsoft system is ruled by grammar and structure.
C. "Long time no see" has been used in at least four media(媒体) mentioned in the passage.
D．There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew．

Dear editor,
Now video games are very popular among the school students, some students are so interested in the game that they spend all day playing. Sometimes they forget to do their homework and some even play truant. Each time they have to play much money. In order to play video games they often ask their parents for money from their classmates, which have brought out very bad effects.
Too much video games plating needs time, money and energy. The others benefit a lot but it’s not good for the students’ study and healthy.
I do hope measures will be taken by the government to prevent students from playing video games.
Yours ever,
Lin Tao
