German chancellor Angela Merkel may look like an ordinary woman. She dresses commonly and doesn't show many feelings. But don't let appearance fool you.
As the first woman chancellor in Germany's history, Merkel has topped Forbes magazine's list of “The World's 100 Most Powerful Women” six times. She has even been compared to Margaret Thatcher and many people call her “Iron Lady”．
Merkel was born in Hamburg, West Germany, on 17 July 1954. As a small child, she quickly learnt to speak but it took longer for her to walk. “I was a stupid person when it came to moving，” Merkel said. “A normal person could do something naturally, but I had to think about it in my mind and practise.” As a teenager, she was the top student in high school. In 1973, Merkel went to the University of Leipzig, where she studied Physics.
At 32, she got her doctor's degree in Physics. She stepped into politics(政坛) in 1989. In her first big political job as Minister for the Environment in 1994, her scientific background and strong will proved very useful. In 2005 she became Germany's chancellor. Through her political career, Merkel's persistence(坚持) and patience helped her a lot.“She's bright and open minded，” said Hubert Markl, a German biologist. “She is the person who wants to know exactly what is going on, and how never giving up will influence our society and future.”
( )1．The first two paragraphs tell us that Angela Merkel________．
A．is not different from an ordinary woman
B．is the first woman chancellor in Germany
C．is the richest woman in the world
D．learns everything from Margaret Thatcher
( )2．When she was a small child, Merkel________．
A．didn't like to walk
B．was slow in learning to speak
C．was not good at learning to walk

( )3．According to the story, Merkel________．
A．didn't study well when she was in high school
B．studied Politics in the University of Leipzig
C．worked for the government at the age of 35
D．did a job in the scientific field in 1994

A．She cares only about politics.

Whenever you walk past a cafe, you might be drawn in by the smell of freshly made coffee. But the minute you try this dark drink you will regret it, because it tastes like bitter Chinese medicine.
Why does something that smells so good tastes so bad Many people are curious about this, but now scientists say they have found the answer—it lies in our “second sense(感觉) of smell”， according to The Telegraph.
“We have two senses of smell，” explained Barry Smith, a professor of the University of London. “One is when you breathe in things from the environment, and the other is when the air comes up to the nose and is breathed out through the nose.”
When we drink coffee, for example, the act of swallowing(吞咽) sends a burst of smell up the back of our nose from inside the mouth. This wakes up the second sense of smell in our brain. But it is weaker and less sensitive to flavours(味道). As a result, it gives us a completely different feeling.
In fact, the second sense of smell plays a big part in our eating experience. It may be common sense that we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue(舌头). But the truth is 80 percent of what we think of as taste actually reaches us through smell. Just hold your nose while eating and you will notice that your tongue can only catch a very small part of the flavour.
( )1. Why does something that smells so good tastes so bad
A. Because we have two senses of smell.
B. Because our “second sense of smell” works.
C. Because different people have different tastes.
D. Because people have both tongues and noses.
( )2. Which body part does not play a role in sensing the flavour
A. The nose. B. The tongue.
C. The eyes. D. The mouth.
( )3. Which of the following is NOT true
A. We have two senses of smell.
B. The first sense of smell is weaker and less sensitive to flavours.
C. The tongue can only catch a small part of the flavour.
D. We usually think we smell through our nose and taste using our tongue.
( )4. The underlined word “sensitive” in the fourth paragraph means “________”.
A. 敏感的 B. 迟钝的
C. 强烈的 D. 虚弱的
( )5. The best title for this passage is “________”.
A. Smell good or taste bad
B. The second sense of smell
C. Coffee tastes like bitter Chinesemedicine
D. Our tongue and nose
