单选题If you are like most people, your intelligence (智力) is different in different seasons. You are probably a lot cleverer in spring than you are at any other time of the year. A famous scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men"s work and his own on peoples (民族) in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite (明确的) effect on our mental (智力的) abilities. He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less clever in summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to (倾向于) be lower in summer. Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man"s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature (万物). Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation free from thinking!

单选题The best way of learning a language is using it. The best way of learning English is talking in English as much as possible.

But if you keep your sense of humor(幽默感) ,you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don"t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes. It"s better for people to laugh at your mistakes than to be angry with you ,because they don"t understand what you are saying. The most important thing for learning English is:" Don"t be afraid of making mistakes because everyone makes mistakes."

单选题 Scott was hoping to see many interesting things when he visited Hong Kong with his friend Ali. After they checked in the hotel, they began to discuss what they wanted to do first. Scott had a lot of information booklets (小册子) with him to help them decide. "What I'd like to do is go to Kowloon and visit the shops," said Ali. "I've been looking forward to buying a watch while we are here." "Yes," agreed Scott. "I'd like to do some shopping as well. Things are very cheap here. But maybe we should leave that until later. There are so many other things to do. To begin with, I'd like to take a boat trip round the harbor (港口) and look at all the ships." "That's a good idea," said Ali. "Or we could take the railway to the top of the hill. I've always wanted to do that." "Me, too," agreed Scott. "But maybe it would be better to leave that until the evening so that we can see the sunset over the harbor." Suddenly (突然) Ali looked at his watch. "My goodness!" he cried out. "It's 12 o'clock already and we haven't done anything at all."
