I believe that everyone in the world loves their mother. So am I. My
mother is a ordinary teacher. She works hard, just as other
mothers do every day. In fact, she isn’t good health. She has been
suffering arthritis for many years. In spite of this, she never stops
working or giving up hope. I still remember the day and when my
mother received a card of congratulations for Teachers’ Day from her
director. The card was read “Thank you for your hard works; Happy
Teachers’ Day to you!” At that moment, I was so moving that tears
came to my eyes. I am proud of my mother because she is my best
teacher as good as my mother.

Riding a London subway, a person from China will notice one major difference: In London, commuters (乘车上下班的人) do not look at each other. 1. That's not rudeness— people are just too busy to bother looking.
Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet reflection. Nor are they reading a book. 2. Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book.
3. Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000－yes, that's 40,000－"apps" (programs downloaded for the iPhone) have been designed.
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time－filler. One "app"，called ishoot, is a game that features tanks. Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination. Isteam clouds the iphone screen when you breathe into the microphone. 4.
For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be the distraction of choice. It's not just teenagers who "plug in" to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages.
And if games, e－books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied. Then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work.
5.
A．With this distraction, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train.
B．New technology has replaced quiet habits.
C．You can then write the “steam” on your phone screen.
D．Technology is changing the way London commuters spend their traveling time.
E．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times.
F．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters.
G．Modern Londoner are fancy victims.
There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared (培养). If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.
1.This passage can be best titled_________.
A．Intelligence and Environment
B．Measuring Your Intelligence
C．The Case of Peter and Mark
D．How the brain Influences Intelligence
2.According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.
A．85 B．125 C．110 D．100
3.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.
A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment
C．changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain
D．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
4.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.______.
A．can be increased by education
B．stays the same throughout his life
C．can be predicted at birth
D．is determined by his childhood
There are many places around the city and online to buy Las Vegas show tickets. With dozens of websites you can find at home, ticket box offices, Tix 4 Tonight (one of the two half-price ticket sellers) locations, and ticket sellers along the Las Vegas trip, you might wonder where you could find your best deal.
Major Shows
If you want to see one of the top shows in Las Vegas, you could buy your tickets online before your trip. Many of these shows sell out months ahead of time, so make sure you do your research.
Best Place to Buy Discounted (打折的) Tickets
If you want discounted tickets for Las Vegas shows, you should go to one of the four Tix 4 Tonight locations. These locations get tickets early in the morning or throughout the day if shows are not sold out. Do not expect to find discounted tickets here for the hottest shows in town such as one-night concerts or shows like Celine Dion’s. These seldom make their way to Tix 4 Tonight.
Coupon books (代金劵)
As you walk along the Las Vegas Strip, you are going to come across people handing out the Vegas Values coupon books or other coupons. These may help you find discounted coupons for various shows around town. Tickets bought with coupons have to be bought at the box office for the show. These are usually located near the theater used for the show.
On-Strip Sellers
If you see people standing on the Strip selling show tickets, make sure you avoid them. While a few of these sellers might be legitimate (合法的)，they often cheat people by selling counterfeit (伪造的) tickets.
Catching a show in Las Vegas is one of the various activities people take part in every single day. While there is not one set place to be the best to buy tickets, make sure you get to see the show you want.
