Imagine you are in a jumping contest。 Animals and insects can also enter this contest. But they might just leave humans in the dust!

The first event is the long jump. The human athlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height.

His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named "Rosie the Ribbiter" Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosie's jump is not that amazing. But wait! Rosie is only about 10 inches long when her legs are stretched (伸展) to their full length. She can jump more than 25 times her size. Rosie, the frog, wins the long jump event.

The next event is the high jump. Javier Sotomayor, the world record holder, can jump a bar (橫桿) 8 feet high. That is about as high as the ceiling in most homes.

Looking around for someone to challenge his record, Javier might need a magnifying glass (放大鏡),The next contestant is a tiny insect called the spittlebug (吹沫蟲).

The spittlebug can jump 28 inches into the air. It is only a quarter-inch long, less than the width of a pencil. If the spittlebug were the same size as Javier, it would be able to jump 600 feet into the air. That is like a human jumping over a building 55 stories (層) high!

Though the humans lose the "jumping contest", their competitors would probably agree that Mike and Javier are still pretty excellent athletes. If only Rosie and the spittlebug could speak!

1.In the writer's opinion, Rosie and the spittlebug's jumping abilities are ________.

A.surprising B.promising C.helpful D.fearful

2.What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph probably mean?

A.Humans jump much better than animals and insects.

B.Humans jump as well as animals and insects.

C.Animals and insects jump much better than humans.

D.Humans jump as badly as animals and insects.

3.How does the writer develop the text?

A.By giving instructions. B.By making comparisons.

C.By following the order of time D.By following the order of

Taking online classes is becoming increasingly popular. Do students like this way of studying? Different students have different opinions about it.

Lin Tao

I love taking online classes. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we want. Also, we are able to study online whenever and wherever we want, which is very convenient.

Zhang Yu

I didn’t think taking online classes was a good way to study in the beginning. The whole learning process was not as organized as it was in the classroom. I even had a hard time planning my daily activities.Then I found planning ahead and creating a study schedule were very important. So I made a plan for my everyday study, and it helped me learn better online.

Yuan Ming

Online class is helpful. We might feel more focused on learning when we are alone in

front of a computer. What’s more, taking classes online also means we can have more

time to use a computer, so we can practice our computer skills in this way.

Li Yuan

I think the idea of taking online classes is crazy. We have to spend more time on computers and the radiation(輻射)from them could do harm to the human body, especially our eyes. Also, sitting in front of a computer for a long time without exercising can be harmful to our health.

1.Online classes are becoming increasingly popular, and every student in the passage has been used to this way of studying.

2.Lin Tao likes taking online classes because he can have more time to use computer.

3.In Zhang Yu’s opinion, a plan for daily study is useful for taking online classes.

4.There are four reasons why Yuan Ming thinks online class is helpful.

5.According to Li Yuan, it’s unhealthy for students to sit in front of a computer for a long without exercising.

Why Wisdom (智慧)Doesn't Work as Well as We Think It Does

We relate wisdom to age. Most of us believe that gaining wisdom is like picking up stones on a path: the longer you're on the path, the more stones you'll collect.

It seems a reasonable inference, then, the older you are, the more wisdom you have. Older people usually make fewer careless mistakes, and they often know the best course of action in a given situation. But I think there's another explanation at play here, which we might consider in the light of what we know about human decision-making.

There are two different ways of decision-making: plans and habits. Here's an example of how these ways differ. If you’re driving somewhere for the first time, you'll need a plan. You will need to know whether to turn left or right, because you don’t already have that information stored away in your head. On the other hand, you don't need a plan when you're going somewhere familiar (熟悉的) because the order of steps that will take you there is stored as a habit. But if you find that the road is blocked by fallen trees, you’ll have to think about another way. Such a plan allows you to more easily deal with new situations, but they require a lot more attention.

The use of plans and habits changes over the course of our lives. A baby can't use habits to make decisions, because any situation she’s in will be a new one. As we build up a store of familiar situations, the more we can depend on habits. The older you are, the more likely your behavior is based on tried- and-true habits rather than fresh planning.

But what does this tell us about wisdom? Well, it suggests that wisdom is interactive, not static: it is a relationship between a person and their surroundings (環(huán)境),The reason that wisdom seems to come out so effortlessly from well-seasoned minds is that they have a store of habitual information about how to act in a given situation.

But it also makes a worrying prediction: if older people were put in a new situation, with which they had no familiarity, they wouldn't make better decisions than someone who is young. It is the same with mistakes. Older, seemingly wiser people make fewer mistakes because they're familiar with surroundings they often deal with. If you controlled for the familiarity of the situation, then people in different age groups would probably make the same number of mistakes. Younger people might even make fewer mistakes, because they are better at coming up with fresh plans.

While wisdom gives you expertise within a particular environment, it doesn't mean that you'll be able to generalize that to new experiences. It's not that we necessarily get wiser as we get older, but we put ourselves in fewer situations where we are likely to make mistakes.

1.What do we know about the two ways of decision-making according to the passage?

A.Using plans or habits to make decisions is an ever-changing process.

B.The use of plans and habits requires lots of attention and effort.

C.When going somewhere familiar, we need to work out a plan.

D.Younger people depend more on habits to make decisions,

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Younger people have a great advantage in becoming wiser.

B.Older people are better at making careful plans before action.

C.Older people seem wiser because they’ve stored more habitual information.

D.Younger people make more mistakes when they're in unfamiliar surroundings.

3.What does the underlined word “static” probably mean in Paragraph 5?

A.Uncontrolled. B.Unchanged. C.Increasing. D.Surprising.

4.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To stress the importance of gaining wisdom.

B.To compare the two different ways of decision-making.

C.To call on younger people to learn more from older people.

D.To remind us to view the wisdom of older people reasonably.
