At 1:43 a.m., Bertzzi was awakened by a phne call frm a Nbel cmmittee representative wh, revealing the significant news, tld her, “Yu have
50 minutes t cllect yurself and wait until yur life changes.”
Instructed nt t share the annuncement utside f her tightest inner circle, the first persn Bertzzi called was her father, William Bertzzi, a
retired physics prfessr frm MIT. “He’s 91 and, f curse, he was just verjyed,” said Bertzzi. “And then he called my sisters fr me. One f my

medicine that can better target tumrs (肿瘤).
“I culd nt be mre delighted that Bertzzi has wn the Nbel Prize in chemistry,” said Stanfrd President Marc Tessier-Lavigne. “In pineering
the field f birthgnal chemistry, Bertzzi invented a new way f studying bimlecular prcesses, ne that has helped scientists arund the wrld

The research achievements have been used t study hw cells build prteins and ther mlecules, t develp new cancer medicines, and t prduce new
materials fr energy strage, amng many ther applicatins.”
“They call and I’m nt even awake ... Starbucks isn’t even pen yet,” she exclaimed while in her pajamas at her kitchen table. By 3 a.m., Bertzzi
had nearly three dzen vicemails. “This is hw it’s ging t be all day. This is insane,” she said. “Maybe I shuld cancel meetings.”

It’s really a challenge fr peple t find cnsistent mtivatin t exercise regularly. Wishing nt t hit gyms, yu can invent tns f excuses.
Hwever, ut f mst peple’s expectatin, a certain amunt f physical exercise every week can stp yur IQ frm declining.
IQ, t a large degree, is determined by genes. It has lng been established that genes accunt fr abut 70 percent f IQ. And envirnmental factrs,
like diet, quality f educatin and brain stimulatin, affect the ther 30 percent.
IQ can be put int tw types — “fluid” and “crystallized” intelligence. The frmer refers t the ability t reasn and think flexibly, while the latter
refers t the build-up f knwledge, facts, and skills that are acquired thrughut life. The tw have a dynamic relatinship: fluid IQ decides hw much
infrmatin yu can take in and hw fast yu can take it in, which means a higher fluid IQ cntributes t yur crystallized IQ. They keep grwing until
yur early twenties, when they bth reach the peak. Unfrtunately, this will nt keep the same fr the rest f yur life. Fluid intelligence declines rapidly
with age.
What causes this decline? It all cmes dwn t yur cardivascular (心血管的) system. It calls fr a large amunt f xygen fr the brain t functin
well. The less exercise yu have as yu get ld, the less xygen yur heart prvides t supply yur brain. Exercise als prmtes the release f certain
chemicals that are critical t the brain’s health, bringing abut better cncentratin and memry.
Taking prper physical exercise can help t prevent IQ frm declining as yu get lder. Why nt chse t hit the gym fr the sake f IQ intelligence?
【小题1】Hw is the secnd paragraph mainly develped?
A．By making cmparisns.
B．By listing the numbers and data.
D．By giving examples.
C．By explaining the reasns.
【小题2】Which f the fllwing is right accrding t this passage?
A．Crystallized intelligence develps mre slwly than Fluid intelligence.
B．Fluid intelligence is mre imprtant than Crystallized intelligence.
C．A lwer fluid intelligence is nt gd fr Crystallized intelligence.
D．Fluid intelligence and crystallized intelligence increase with age.
【小题3】What prblem shuld be t blame fr the decline f IQ intelligence?
A．A mental disrder.
B．A bad md.
D．A weak heart.
C．A lack f flexibility.
【小题4】What’s the purpse f writing this passage?
A．T persuade peple t exercise.
B．T infrm peple f IQ intelligence.

Bth Alice and Curie lve traveling t ther cuntries, and they came tgether fr this hbby. Thugh they had been married fr 5 years, their
shared hbby is als a surce f cntentin. “It is I wh d all the planning and bk,” says Alice. “Dn’t get me wrng. I enjy it, but if Curie cared
a little mre abut it, he wuldn’t shw up fr a flight t Grenada packed fr a winter break. ‘Jumpers and bts!’ I cried. ‘Yu’re suppsed t
have packed shrts and T-shirts — it’s 30℃ in the Caribbean!’ Then I realized he thught we were ging t Granada, in Spain.
Hw Alice and Curie each deal with their travel plans is just an example f the many ways in which men and wmen differ. Yet, is what ges n inside
ur minds and bdies really s different? Furthermre, are we brn that way?
Scientists are divided n this issue. The majrity f them believed that patterns f behavir thught t be mre male r female are learnt firstly frm
ur parents, then frm ur peers and, ultimately, frm the scieties in which we live. As Simne de Beauvir famusly said, “ne is nt brn, but rather
becmes, a wman.”
Hwever, sme ther scientists believed that male and female brains are actually wired differently. In ne study in which 34 mnkeys were required
t interact with different types f tys, the males shwed a strng preference fr tys with wheels rather than sft tys, while the females were
nticeably drawn t sft tys. These preferences were clearly nt the result f parental influence.
Whatever the truth behind the differences between men and wmen, we can safely cnclude that althugh the scial impact n hw we think and
behave is undeniable, there exists a bilgical cntributin. The questin that nw needs answering is t what extent bilgy affects the chices we
make and the way ther peple treat us.
【小题1】The functin f the first paragraph is ________.
A．t shw hw wmen are different frm men.
B．t shw hw angry the wife is.
C．t lead in the tpic f this passage.
D．t make the authr’s argument clearer.
【小题2】What des the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean?
A．Females and males are bilgically different.
B．Females becme different frm males in many aspects.
C．Scientists’ pinins vary abut hw females and males differ.
D．Scial impact leads t the difference between females and males.
【小题3】The study f mnkeys prves that ________.
A．males and females are brn different
B．males and females are influenced by their parents and peers
C．mnkeys, like human beings, have their wn characteristics
D．mnkeys f different sexes have different preferences
【小题4】What will mst prbably be talked abut t fllw the last paragraph?
A．What causes the differences between men and wmen.
B．Hw men and wmen are bilgically different.
C．Why males and females are different.
D．Where the differences between males and females take place.

A Helping Hand
I spent mst f my teenage years in an ld farmhuse in the Durham Cunty cuntryside. That was mre than 30 years ag, but life there dated back
t an even earlier era. I spent my summer days ding manual labr in the tbacc fields, while my summer evenings were spent preparing vegetables in
the backyard. My fall weekends were ften spent cutting wd and string lgs fr the fire. Living where we did, we culd see three r fur ther huses
frm ur wn, nne f them within shuting distance. We knew ur neighbrs, mst f whm were elderly. We usually ffered ur kindness when they
needed help.
Jimmy lived acrss the street, n the far side f a tbacc field. He was seventy years ld and lived alne. He lst his wife tw years ag. He had
barely supprted himself these last cuple f years since his health had gtten wrse. One day, we went t visit him at his hme. It was a small wden
huse with dirty windws and a curtain that had been mended several times. The pr ld man wuld sit in an armchair by the windw, hlding a faded
pht, and with tears in his eyes, recall happy memries f his wife.
One weekend, my father went t check n Jimmy, but a rare heavy snw happened t fall. It was s heavy that he culdn’t get his ld truck up
Jimmy’s uneven (不平坦的), snw-cvered rad. Nbdy culd understand what made Dad climb the 400 yards r s t Jimmy's huse. My brther and
I were waiting anxiusly at hme. After a lng time, he rushed hme and tld us that Jimmy was sick and had n firewd left.
My father asked us if we wuld like t help. We all ndded ur heads willingly, but my brther was secretly wrried. He asked my father hw we
culd help. Althugh we culd meet Jimmy's needs fr things like fd and firewd, my father held the belief that the lss f his wife made Jimmy
unhappy, and wanted t ffer Jimmy a mment f jy. We left the huse and walked acrss the snw-cvered fields. Our ftprints went deep int the
snw, nly t disappear as the snw cntinued t fall. We headed acrss the field, aiming fr Jimmy's huse.
