For example, many important people throughout history were considered different, such as Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein and Abraham Lincoln. They did great things, but some people thought they were strange because they had strong feelings about something. I can understand these people because I’ve been in that situation before many times.It all started in elementary schoo l when I realized that I wasn’t like everyone else. My mom says that I have a tendency to be obsessed(着迷)with certain subjects. Unfortunately, these subjects don’t interest other kids of my age and they really don’t interest my teachers. In fact, my kindergarten teacher said she would scream if I mentioned snakes or lizards one more time while she was teaching the days of the week. I would get into trouble for not paying attention and the teasing began.In the third grade, my teacher informed me that I have Asperger’s Syndrome （症状）. I said, “So what? Do you know that Godzilla’s suit weighs 188 pounds?”此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号Later, I asked my mom, “What’s Asperger’s Syndrome? Am I gonna die?” She said that it’s like having blinders on, and that I can only see one thing at a time, and that it’s hard to focus on other things.People also make fun of me for knowing facts about volcanoes, whales, tornadoes and many other scientific things. My mom says that she has been able to answer many questions on Jeopardy! just by listening to what I have to say, but I’ve even been laughed at for being smart.Maybe someday I’ll become a gene engineer and create the real Godzilla. I can dream, Can’t I?21．Why does the author mention people like Albert Einstein?A. To examine differencesB. To show his admirationC. To make comparisonD. To support his idea22．How did the kindergarten teacher feel about the author?A. AngryB. WorriedC. SorryD. Curious23．What’s Jeopardy! most probably?A. It’s a program intended for young kids.B. It’s a quiz show covering various topics.C. It’s a novel telling about adventure stories.D. It’s a m agazine about scientific discoveries.BThe more interested you are in a topic, the more likely you may be to form “false memories” about the events related to that topic.“Most people are pretty confident about their own memory for some events, but new re search shows that false memory is a lot more frequent than many people realize. In terms of daily life, the key point here may be to understand that someone who remembers an event differently from yours isn’t necessarily lying—someone’s memory may be faulty, or it might be you,” said study co-author Ciara Greene, a psychologist at the university College Dublin.In the study, the researchers asked 489 people to read four news stories about events that were related to the topics they ranked as the most interesting, and four stories about events related to the topics they rated as the least interesting. In each case, three of these events really did occur, but the fourth one was made up.It turned out that people tended to remember the stories of the topics they said they were more interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in. However, the participants also tended to store more false memories related to the topics they were interested in compared with the topics they were not interested in, the researchers found.The more people know about a topic, the more memories related to this topic they have stored in their brains, the researchers said. Therefore, when a person meets new information on this topic, that information may find traces of similar memories that have already stored in the brain, Greene said.“This can result in a sense of familiarity or recognition of the new material, leading to the conviction (确信) that the information has been met before and is in fact an existing memory,” Gr eene said. In other words, this new material or information may “feel” familiar and therefore the person may believe it must be true, he said.Learning more about how false memories work may help protect against the harmful results of them, such as when eyewitness accounts(证言) of crimes are faulty.24．What Ciara said in Paragraph 2 suggests that you shouldn’t _________.A. forget the frequency of false memory.B. lie to someone with different memories.C. believe faulty memories of other people.D. completely trust your memory.25．In the study, people who were interested in a topic________.A. were less likely to form false memories related to itB. tended to remember false information about itC. could remember any information about it easilyD. wanted to know more about it26．What’s the main idea of the text?A. The harm of false information.B. Why people have a poor memory.C. Interesting topics may lead to false memories.D. How to make a good memory for some eventsCIn the story of “The crow and the Pitcher” from Aesop’s Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. New Caledonian crows actually do understand how to make water displacement work to their advantage, experiments showed. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders, according to the study.Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the university of Auckland in New Zealand, presented six crows with tubes filled with water. Inside the tubes, a worm or piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just。
