When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship(獎學(xué)金). Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could ______ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he presented in class.

When I took the first exam, I was ______ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, ______English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained ______.

I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that ______ because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I reasoned with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his ______.

One more test before the final exam. One more ______ to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time learned the meaning of the word "thorough". But my ____ did no good and everything went as before.

The last hurdle (障礙) was the final. No matter what grade I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the ______ goodbye.

I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even ______ myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have _____ with a test.

A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne's office. He seemed to be expecting me. "If I gave you the As you _______, you wouldn't continue to work as hard."

I stared at him, realizing that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head off, as I had never done before.

科目：初中英語 來源：北京一零一中學(xué)2018屆九年級3月月考英語試卷 題型：回答問題

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art, Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art(美術(shù)館); Paris has the Louvre and London has the British Museum. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.

FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked(連接) to a telephone. You can call the telephone number of a university computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用電子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.

Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.

A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.

Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

1.Has FIU opened the first computer art museum in the United States?

__________________________________________________________

2.What do you need to see the art in FIU museum?

___________________________________________________________

3.Where is all of the art stored in FIU?

Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honors an important man, but Ben does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理論) connects Ben to Dr. King. Ben’s mom (0) has a close friend, Amy (1). Amy’s uncle, Mark (2), once met and spoke to John Carter (3), the son of President Jimmy Carter (4). Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King (5). In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.

The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (鏈條) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knows his mom, but he hasn’t met her close friend Amy. Therefore, Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues, Amy’s uncle, Mark, is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees, and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.

The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people, and so on. When someone continues the calculation to six degrees, it is like this: 100×50×50×50×50×50 = 31.25×109. This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.

Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever proved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.

1.Ben is two degrees away from ________.

A. Jimmy Carter B. John Carter C. Amy D. Mark

2.What’s the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?

A. The chain to connect people.

B. The relations between people.

C. The steps of knowing strangers.

D. The separation between strangers.

3.What is the small-world theory mainly about?

A. How far Ben is away from Dr. King.

B. How many people one can get to know.

C. How people are connected in the world.

D. How the degrees of separation are set up.

4.We can learn from the article that ________.

A. the small-world theory works

B. more research is needed to prove the theory

C. six degrees are needed to know the strangers

D. the writer’s purpose is to help people find out their places
