四、阅读理解
“Growing up, Einstein saw his father struggle to support the family and move the family for different jobs. Einstein had to move between schools and it was challenging for him to catch up with his new class.”
This story about the struggles(奋斗) of famous scientists can’t be found in your regular science textbook, but a new study suggested maybe it should be.
In the study, 402 9th- and 10th-grade students from four New York City high schools in low-income areas were divided into three groups. The students read some 800-word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Another group read about the scientists’ personal struggles, like Einstein’s running away from Nazi Germany. The third group read about the scientists’ intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments—and failed.
As it turned out, the students who had read about scientists’ struggles, whether personal or intellectual, had higher grades than students who had read about achievements. Those who weren’t getting good grades to begin with gained the most. Those in the control group not only didn’t see a grade increase, they had lower grades than the grading before the study began.
“We think that struggle stories showed scientists’ weaknesses,”the researchers write, “Which creates a sense of connection between the students and scientists. And that may make it easier for students to see them as role models.”
“When kids think Einstein is a talent who is untouchable, then they believe they will never get there,”said lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, PhD.
If we want to educate a future generation of great scientists, we can start by changing they way we talk about the great scientists of the past. An 800-word story about scientists’ failures, not just their achievements, in science textbooks will make it happen.
1. What does the article mainly talk about
A. Learning about struggles of scientists may help students succeed in science.
B. Reading stories of scientists’ achievements will help educate future scientists.
C. Science textbooks should describe scientists’ failures instead of their achievements.
D. Stories of scientists’ struggles may make students see scientists as being untouchable.
2. From Paragraph 4, we can know that ______.
A. those good at science achieved most from this exercise
B. the control group had lower grades than the other two groups
C. the students’ grade in the control group remained the same
D. the students in the third group had the highest grades
3. What’s the main idea for Paragraph 5 and 6
A. Findings of the study. B. Explanations from the researchers.
C. Process of the study. D. Suggestions from the researchers.
4. In the study, which of the following would the third group probably read
A. Einstein won many awards in his life, including the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics.
B. Going to college was hard for Curie because at that time women were not allowed to attend school. So, Curie had to study at secret classes.
C. By the time she reached college, Curie was able to understand five languages that top scientists spoke at that time
D. Often working hour after hour and day after day, Curie devoted herself to solving challenging problems and learning from her mistakes.

三.阅读理解
One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱).　The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
At that moment, I thought to myself. “why aren’t most adults this way ” Most adults, when they fall down. make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt. They would he so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败).
However, with kids, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they probably think to themselves that it’s quite okay to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.
I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence(坚持不懈)and the manner in which he did.
1. What did the little boy do when he fell down
A. He cried and lay on the grass. B. He asked his mother for help.
C. He got up and went on running. D. He got up and stood there crying.
2. In the writer’s opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as
A. A failure. B. A joke. C. An interesting game. D. A learning experience.
3. In the writer’s opinion, why can’t many adults succeed
A. Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.
B. Because they can’t find a good excuse.
C. Because once they fail, they won’t attempt again.
D. Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.
4. The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 2 means .
A. 尝试 B. 放弃 C. 面对 D.怀疑
5. What does the writer want to tell us
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Failure is the mother of success.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. Each coin has two sides.
