(A)

In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him.

“My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame or money,” Chou said. That’s how we luckily have such a music genius, who has since then composed lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜).

“Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow,” he said.

Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis. In this album he explores human relationships in the Internet age. “Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you’re going to use it,” is Chou’s advice to teenagers.

Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country’s language is the fastest way of experiencing the culture behind it.

Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career. He has flown to the UK to attend months-long English training schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.

“So I could easily read the English instructions on recording machines and communicate with the local music producers,” said Chou, “The music reviews of the US or British singers that I appreciate could help me learn and grow with them.”

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.

For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生观) on life , special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.

If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about life--- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.

31.According to this passage, intelligence is the ability _________.

A. to behave immediately B. to deal with life

C. to do well in school D. to know what to do

32. In a new situation, an intelligent person _________.

A. knows more about what might happen to him B. is sure of the result he will get

C. concentrates on the situation D. cares more about himself

33. According to the passage the biggest difference between “bright” children and “ not “bright” children lies in _________.

A. the amount of intelligence B. the different situations they face

C. the different attitudes to life D. the background of life

34. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. What’s real meaning of intelligence? B. What’s the “bright” children’s behavior?

C. What’s a special outlook on life? D. How to live and behave in a new situation?

35. In the next part of the passage, the author might continue to talk about __________.

A. how to determine what intelligence is B. how education should be changed

C. how to judge whether a person is intelligent D. how an unintelligent person should be taught
