For laid-off workers in poor areas, disease put extra pressure on the family. They can afford to consult a doctor and purchase medicines from a chemist when we get sick, nor can they make sure that their children keep healthy diet. If someone becomes serious ill, the family is forced into poverty. Statistics indicate that diseases have been caused more than 30 percents of low-income residents to live in poverty. Any families even have to spend all the money they receive from the government with medical treatment.
__1.___ Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.

There are hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child. And it’s a good thing, too — kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they aren’t mature enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own.
But eventually, kids grow up and become teens. It’s totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; it’s what prepares them for adulthood. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it.
In most families, it’s this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. Teens get angry because they feel parents don’t respect them and aren’t giving them space to do what they like, and parents get angry because they aren’t used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens’ decisions.
It’s easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be intent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are.
The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can.
Sometimes this can feel impossible — like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.

The world has changed and being intelligent isn’t normally equal to being a successful person. Look at the example of the blue whale : it has a huge brain, but it still doesn’t know how to avoid whalers or use its large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people can’t succeed in life because they can’t communicate well with the world around them.
Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that they create by their supposed brain power.
This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they can’t listen to each other. One side thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty（傲慢的）. And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose their confidence.
It doesn’t help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness don’t always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence. While some might think this is a dramatic picture to paint, it is sometimes the end result of some people.
1. The example of “the blue whale” is used to show ____.
|
A．communication is more important than intelligence |
|
B．human beings are always more intelligent than animals |
|
C．humans should have the sense of protecting animals |
|
D．the blue whale is the largest animal in the world |
2. Those supposed intelligent people often believe that ____.
|
A．they should make their life the same with others |
|
B．they should live in a better world than the others |
|
C．they are sure to be successful because of their intelligence |
|
D．other people’s opinion should be seriously considered |
3. What makes the intelligent people lose their confidence?
|
A．They become separated from other people and lose their support. |
|
B．They often can’t get higher positions though they are intelligent. |
|
C．They can’t persuade those stupid people to accept their ideas. |
|
D．They often can’t make good use of their advantages. |
4. We can infer that the end result of the supposed intelligent people would be ____.
|
A．great achievements |
B．more efforts |
|
C．failure in the future |
D．proper changes |
