Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high sc hool education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.
Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X­ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X­ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government.
In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.
Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Ire ne Joliot­Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge(复仇) of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy when it comes to sports.
How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council(学生会) and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A's in every subject. Melendres, now a freshman at the University of New Mexico, was student-body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well, exhibited at the science fair, and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony, he achieved straight A's in his regular classes, plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses.
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer. "Top grades don't always go to the brightest students," declares Herbert Walberg, professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. "Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. Much more."
In fact, Walberg says, students with high I.Q.s sometimes don't do as well as classmates with
lower I.Q.s. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.
Hard work isn't the whole story, either. "It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many A students we interviewed. "It's what you do while you're sitting." Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.
The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.
1.T he “n erds” can probably be __________.
A.dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills
B.successful top students popular with their peers
C.students with certain learning difficulties
D.born leaders crazy about social activities
2.What can we conclude from the first paragraph?
A.Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.
B.People have unfavorable impression of straight-A students.
C.Everyone knows about straight-A students from TV or films.
D.Straight-A students are well admired by people in the society.
3.Some students become super-achievers mainly because ________.
A.they are born cleverer than others
B.they worker longer hours on study
C.they make full use of their abilities
D.they know the short cut to success
4.What will be talked about after the last paragraph?
A.The interviews with more students.
B.The role I.Q. plays in learning well.
C.The techniques to be better learners.
D.The achievements top students make.
5.What can we infer from the passage?
A.Students needn’t work hard on study any more.
B.The brightest students can never get top grades.
C.Top students certainly achieve all-around developments.
D.Students with average I.Q.s can become super-achievers.
【参考答案】1—5 A B C C D

Listen carefully, working people, we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s “no”.
What do you ask? We’ll say it again: “No”.
Sweet and simple “no”.
Say “no” at y our office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying ‘no’ to oth ers means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself, ” said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.
“Time is precious. People are spending money buying time. And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”
Susie Watson, a famo us writer, said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(内疚)or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated(强制的) ‘yes’, ” she said.
Susie Watson says she feels “no” obligation to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all, ” said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury, Conneticut. “Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’… My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wast ing time. “Every year there are more demands on your time… Other people are happy to use up your time, ” Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be you r new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.
“No” is power and s trength. “No” now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s greatly liberating,” Charles said. But, he added, a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.
But, he also wa rns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything.
In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
1. The sentence “Saying ‘yes’ to yourself” means _______.
A. you can have more time to play with others
B. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happy
C. you are selfish and treat others rudely
D. you can deal with your business as you have planned
答案解析：答案为D。

本题为细节推理题。

由第五、六段可知，对别人说“不”就是对自己说“是”，当在办公室说“不”的时候，你可以看到你桌上的文件很快就完成了。

故答案为D。

2. When you say “no” to others you should say it in a _______.
A. secret way
B. polite way
C. proud way
D. guilty way
答案解析：答案为B。

本题为细节推理题。

由第八段“…I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ …”的“loving”可以推断，答案为B。

3. In Watson’s opinion, people can save much time on condition that _______.
A. they say “no” at a suitable time
B. they say “no” as much as possible
C. they are afraid of saying “no”
D. they make others angry at them
答案解析：答案为A. 本题为推理题。

结合倒数第五段的内容和该段的最后一句话“…My advi ce is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.” 可知，Watson的总结性意见是如果你不打算对别人说“不”，那就说“是”。

故可以推断，说“不”要在合适的时间。

故答案为A。

4. If a person s ays “no” to everything, the result he or she receive may be that he or she _______.
A. enjoys a wonderful life
B. makes a lot of money
C. faces difficulty in life
D. forgets to say “yes” in the end
答案解析：答案为C。

本题为推理题。

由最后一段 Charles 所讲的“Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything…”可知，他认为不能凡事都说“不”，不能走极端。

故可以推断，如果凡事说“不”，生活就会遇到麻烦。

She'd had no clock or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃. The results were very interesting.

How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she'd done some physical and mental tests. She'd recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a computer. This computer had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she'd played cards, read books and listened to music. She'd also learned French from tapes. The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature, For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, People are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don't start to wake up till 9:00 or 10;00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only come to life in the afternoon or evening!
