Skiddaw in Winter
Cumbria,England

freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of

a short climb.I found myself completely above it
and looking at a wonderfully clear view of
Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west.I used
classical techniques, translated from my college

When I was 9,we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow , London on a
gray January ne in the family settled quickly into the city except t my
beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a
discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding,where
the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing.I loved it.I soon made friends with
the local skaters. We spoke our own my favorite:Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant
hello.
It meant don't worry about ,when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆),I fell onto
the stones,damaging a nerve in my hand,and Toby came over,helping me up:Safe,.A few
minutes later,when I landed the trick,my friends beat their boards loud,shouting:“Safe! Safe!
Safe!”And that's what mattered - landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15,my family moved to Washington.I tried skateboarding there,but the locals
were far less a couple of years,I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004,I found myself wandering down to Southbank,spending
hours there.I've traveled back several times since,most recently this past day was
cold but clear；tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the g(穿梭）among the
kids who rushed by on their boards,I found my way to the a rail-thin teenager,in a
baggy white T-shirt,skidded(滑）up to the sat next to seemed not to notice the
man next to soon I caught a few of his glances.“I was a local here 20 years ago,”I told

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let's state clearly: Einstein was a genius,His face is almost the international symbol for
we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius is it that
some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white European
origin .Perhaps this is not a surprise. I's said that history is written by the victors,and those
victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by
geniuses outside the club --- women,or people of a different color or belief ---they were
unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than
boys to say that members of their gender(性别） are "really, really smart" Even worse,the study
found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for
children who are “really,really smart.”Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become
discouraged and give up?It doesn't take a genius to know the answer:absolutely not.
Here's the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we're all
positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look,the more we
will see that social factors(因 素）like gender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of
genius. As a writer says,future geniuses come from those with "intelligence,
creativity,perseverance(毅力）,and simple good fortune,who are able to change the world.”
does the author think of victors' standards for joining the genius club?
're unfair. 're conservative.
're objective. D. They're strict.
13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
A. They think themselves smart.
look up to great thinkers.
see gender differences earlier than boys.
D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.
are more geniuses known to the public?
ed global communication.
B. Less discrimination against women.
ance of victors' concepts.
D. Changes in people's social positions.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Geniuses Think Alike
Takes Many Forms
and Intelligence
and Luck

Swap,Don't Shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper.
Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources (资源） to make, and buying loads of new
clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all
those perfectly-good-but-you 're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor?
16___. It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have
a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and,
obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
·Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 17___，and there may not be enough
things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
·18___. They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their “new”clothes
home.
·Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19___. Place a few
mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the
ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take
them-things always look different when you put them on.
·Set a starting you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever.
20___.And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
