There are three things that will get you ahead in life: good looks, smarts, and being considered as being smart. 1. And unluckily most of us are not good-looking. Let’s explore some different ways to become smarter.
2. College doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be smarter, just educated. It means you’ll be exposed to many different ideas and hopefully you’ll learn how to think. Being able to think outside the box and for yourself are features smart people possess.
Read books and educational magazines. 3. Educational magazines are a wealth of knowledge you can share with others, thus making you sound very smart. If you do watch television, try watching something that you can learn.
Expand your vocabulary. Try to learn one new word a week. It doesn’t seem like much, but adding 52 new words to your vocabulary will really make you appear much smarter. Subscribing(订阅)to vocabulary. com is a good start. 4. This way you’re actually getting 365 words a year, but that is usually more than most people can absorb.
Don’t repeat everything people tell you until you know that it’s true. 5. They hear a strange claim and they repeat it to the nearest ear. You can do much harm to your seek for being smart if you are known for giving bad information.
A. Go to college and get an education.
B. The first is God-given.
C. Get educated inside or outside college.
D. You will have a new word sent to your email address daily.
E. The programs actually provide you with information you can use.
F. Uneducated people and people not considered as being smart tend to do this.
G. Reading books works the brain out more than viewing television.
Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?
Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book for ever and read it many times.
Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia, though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.
1. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge
B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information
C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun
D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself
2.What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?
A. People only need reading, though.
B. Reading is still necessary today.
C. Reading is more fun than television.
D.Watching television doesn’t help reading.
3.Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?
A. Types of books
B. Kinds of dictionaries.
C. Lists of history books.
D. Collections of stories and poems.
