In every cultivated language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, comprise the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words (21) which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the (22) of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use (23) we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the stock in trade(惯用手段)of all who (24) the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the people (25) and are not the exclusive right of a limited class.

(26), our language comprises a multitude of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings (27) to every educated person, but there is little necessity to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first (28) with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from bo答案oks that we read, lectures that we listen to, or the more formal conversation of (29) educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style appropriately elevated above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned", and the (30) between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of linguistic process.

Certainly, the most popular method of traveling used by Americans is the privately-owned automobile. The vast majority of Americans have a car, and many families have two. (31) during your visit to the United States, you may decide to rent a car to travel outside the city or to travel to other parts of the country.

Car rental companies are (32) in the telephone book and are located in most cities and towns. (33) , there are usually rental cars at airports and train and bus stations. As is true everywhere in the world, you can rent a car (34) the day, week, or month. Some companies (35) have special weekend rates that you may find especially interesting if you have only a limited (36) of time to travel around the area you are visiting. Since each company had its own rules and rates, it is a good idea to (37) prices among companies to get the best rates to suit your purposes. For example, most car rental costs (38) how long you plan to keep the car and how far you travel. However, some companies may include gasoline in their rates, but (39) do not. Some companies require that you (40) the car to its starting point; others will permit you to leave the car in another city.

Mrs. Hebert kept on asking her husband to take her to the ballet. Mr. Hebert hates the ballet, but when his employer invited him and his wife, he could not get out of it. As they drove to the theatre that evening, the fog got worse and worse. The traffic slowed down to a walking pace and almost stopped. When they eventually got to the theatre, the ballet was over. Mrs. Hebert could not work out how it had taken them so long to get there, even taking the fog into account. The theatre was within walking distance of their house. It took her a long time to get over the disappointment.

A month later, Mrs. Hebert found out what had happened. Mr. Hebert told a friend of his that he had taken wrong turning on purpose. This friend told his wife, and the wife immediately went around to tell Mrs. Hebert. The two women began to plan revenge. One day, when Mr. Hebert was not in, they broke into his study, which he always locked. His hobby was collecting old coins. Mrs. Hebert had already worked out how much his collection was worth: $850! They were taking some coins out of the case when they heard a car pull up outside the house. Mrs. Hebert quickly switched the light off, and they waited, holding their breath. The front door opened and Mr. Hebert came in. They heard him take his coat off. He walked towards the study door and opened it. There was no chance for the women to get away without being seen. Mr. Hebert switched the light on and was astounded to see his wife standing there with a handful of valuable coins. It took both husband and wife a long time to get over this.

What makes one person more intelligent than another What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often, and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So, it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as "That was a very clever thing you did" or "You are such a smart child".

49、 The words "intelligent" and "brilliant" in the first paragraph mean ______ while "dull" in the second paragraph means ______.（2 分）

A、

bright and splendid...slow in thinking and understanding

B、

pretty and handsome...ordinary-looking

C、

great and important...common

D、

D、

a famous person...an ordinary person

51、 A person ______ is more likely to become a genius.（2 分）

A、

whose parents are clever

B、

who often thinks about difficult problems

C、

who are often helped by his parents and teachers

D、

who are born with a good brain and putting it to active use

52、 It is better for parents ______.（2 分）

A、

B、

C、

53、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the article（2 分）

The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
