Born in America in 1898, William was an extraordi?nary boy, gifted with an amazing IQ between 250 and 300. The genius went to a grammar school when he was only 6 years old and graduated just within 7 months. At the age of 11, he became the youngest student of the Harvard University. He graduated with high scores at the age of 16 and entered Harvard Law School at 18.

Gifted with an amazing IQ between 220 and 230, Ter?ence Tao makes it to this list of the people with the highest IQ in the world. Born in Adelaide, Australia in 1975, this genius first displayed his incredible intelligence at a mere age of 2 , when he managed to solve basic arithmetic ques?tions on his own. At the age of 16, he graduated with both Master's and Bachelor's degrees at the Flinders University. He has been considered as "Mr Fix it" by Charles Feffer-man, who is a professor of Mathematics at Princeton Uni?versity ,and many other mathematicians want to interest him in their problems.

This 31-year-old Japanese-American astrophysicist lands him third in this list. At the age of 12, Christo?pher Hirata already worked on college-level courses, around the time most of us were just in the 7th grade. At the age of 13, this gifted kid became the youngest American to have ever won the gold medal in the Inter?national Physics Olympiad.

At the age of 16, he was already working with NASA on its project to conquer planet Mars. After he was awarded the PhD at Princeton University, he went back to California Institute of Technology.

The next person with very high IQ is Albert Ein?stein. With an IQ between 160 and 190, Albert Einstein is the genius behind the theory of relativity, which has had a great impact on the world of science. He pos?sessed such an amazing ability that after his death, re?searchers were eager to preserve and make research on his brain in search for clues to his exceptional brilliance, which to this day, has remained a mystery.

Having spent two and a half years in China over several visits, I don't remember ever going through a phase we in the United States call "cultural shock". This period of difficulty in adjusting to a new culture would probably have set in during my semester at Pe?king University. Of course, this is not to say that I didn't notice any differences between the American and Chinese cultures upon my arrival at Peking University, I did notice the differences. Looking back, I remember one of the first differences I noticed: chinese universities are surrounded by walls.

To an American, this is one of the most striking as?pects of a Chinese university which immediately sets it apart from an American campus. Having grown up in the United States, I had never seen a university sur?rounded by high, cement(水泥)walls. My idea of a uni?versity, based on having seen scores of them in different states of the US, was a place of life and learning, an inseparable part of the community in which it was loca?ted, open not only to the students of the school itself, but also fully accessible to students from other schools and to the broader public.

My idea of a university was that it was a centre of cultural life, a resource for the entire community. In all my twenty-one years, it had never occurred to me that a school would have a wall around it. Walls enclose and separate; schools expand and integrate(合并).The very idea seemed fundamentally incompatible. I asked a Chi?nese friend if all Chinese universities have walls around them. "You know, I have never really thought about it. I guess so. I guess all Chinese schools have walls around them, not just universities. ""Why?"I asked. "What's the point?""I don't know. To protect us, I suppose.,, "From whom?""I don't know. Don't you have walls a-round your schools in the United States?"I thought care?fully before answering. "No, I've never seen or heard of a university encircled by a wall. ,, My Chinese friend seemed puzzled. Walls around schools came to strike me as more than just an architectural difference between the United States and China. As China continues to open up to the outside world, these walls seem increasingly out of place.

5.    The author felt strange about Chinese culture when he    .

A.    studied in Peking University

B.    talked with his friends about the walls

C.    experienced the "cultural shock" at his arrival

D.    spent two and a half years in China over several visits

6.    In the author's opinion,   a university is a place

A.    where only students can come to study

B.    which is similar everywhere in the world

C.    that should be surrounded by high cement walls

D.    that is an inseparable part of and a resource for the community

7.    What does the underlined sentence in the last para?graph probably mean?

A.    The two ideas are fundamental.

B.    The two ideas are basically different.

C.    The two ideas about "school" and "wall" are suit?able.

D.    The two ideas about "school" and "wall" are con?flicting.

8.    We can infer from the passage that the author thinks

A.    walls are really useful in the universities

B.    he can never really understand the Chinese culture

C.    Chinese universities should work as public scenic spots

D.    walls around the universities are inappropriate in an open China
