Look at the example of the blue whale : it has a huge brain, but it still doesnt know how to avoid whalers or use i
17、ts large size and weight to deal with those who try to use their body for profit. Scientists hold an opinion that the blue whale just likes some highly intelligent people who fail to succeed. Those highly intelligent people cant succeed in life because they cant communicate well with the world aroun
18、d them. Intelligence is a word in life that makes you think you are better than others. Intelligence can blind these very people from how others view them. These people also think that the route to power and success results purely from intelligence and they sometimes live in a fantasy world that the
19、y create by their supposed brain power. This is a distance that develops whether or not they realize it and sometimes, a person can be disliked simply because of his or her intelligence. This distance is sometimes so far apart that it gets to the position where they cant listen to each other. One si
20、de thinks the other is stupid and the other thinks he/she is haughty（傲慢的） . And most of the time it is the intelligent people who lose themselves in this situation. They become unpopular with most of the people around them. This affects them in whatever they do and sooner or later they will lose the
21、ir confidence. It doesnt help that they get a culture shock - especially when they leave college and realize success and richness dont always and sometimes never come naturally with intelligence.

And its a good thing, too kids need this kind of protection and assistance, because they arent mature
31、enough to take care of themselves and make careful decisions on their own. But eventually, kids grow up and become teens. Its totally normal for teens to create their own opinions, thoughts, and values about life; its what prepares them for adulthood. But as you change and grow into this new person
32、who makes his or her own decisions, your parents may have a difficult time adjusting themselves to it. In most families, its this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. Teens get angry because they feel parents dont respect them and arent giving them space to do what
33、they like, and parents get angry because they arent used to not being in control or they disagree with the teens decisions. Its easy for feelings to get very hurt when there are conflicts like these. And more complicated issues can cause even bigger arguments, because your parents will always be int
34、ent on protecting you and keeping you safe, no matter how old you are. The good news about fighting with your parents is that in many families the arguing will lessen as parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parent
35、s and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, concentrate on communicating with your parents as best you can. Sometimes this can feel impossible like they just dont see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect fro
36、m your parents, and you may be able to reach a compromise that makes everyone happy. Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what youre going through. 【小题 1】 Why do parents always want to control their children A They are afraid to lose their c
37、hildren. B They want to protect their children. C They dont believe the ability of their children. D They cant accept their children are growing. 【小题 2】 What does the underlined word “lessen” in Paragraph 5 probably mean A disappear. B increase. C strengthen.

39、th their children B the conflict between parents and teenagers can be solved C the only way for teens to get freedom is to leave home D only few parents do well in facing the growth of their children 答案：【小题 1】 B【小题 1】 D【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 B Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on th
40、e presidential candidates and how theyll change America. Rightly so, but selfishly, Im more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the worlds attention. And that me
41、ans that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see. Usually, the lives of black women go largely unexamined. The prevailing(普通的 )theory seems to be that were all hot-tempered single mothers who cant keep a man
42、. Even in the world of make-believe, black women still cant escape the stereotype(陈规 )of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic mothers. These images have helped define the way all women are viewed, including Michelle Obama. Before she ever gets the chance to com
43、mit to a cause, charity or foundation as First Lady, her most urgent and perhaps most complicated duty may be simple to be herself. It wont be easy. Because few mainstream publications have done in-depth features on regular African-American women, little is known about who we are, what we think and
44、what we face on a regular basis. For better or worse, Michelle will represent us all. Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what theyd like to see Michelle bring to the
45、 White Housemainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyonean impossible task. But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着 ), confidence and intelligence will go a long way
46、in changing an image thats been around for far too long. 【小题 1】 Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author A She serves as a role model for African women. B She possesses many admirable qualities becoming a First Lady. C She will present to the world a new image of African-Amer
47、ican women. D She will pay closer attention to the interests of African-American women. 【小题 2】 What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author A They are victims of violence. B They are of an inferior violence. C They use quite a lot of body language. D They live on c
48、harity and social welfare. 【小题 3】 What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs A Whether Michelle can live up to the high expectations of her fans. B How Michelle should behave as a public figure. C How proud they are to have a black woman in the White House. D What Michelle should do as wife and mother in the White House. 【小题 4】 What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will d
