Many people think of the brain as a mystery. They don't know much about intelligence and how it works. When they do think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born smart, average, or dumb — and stays that way in the whole life. But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it. And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn.
Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger. A person who can't lift 20 pounds when he/she starts exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time. That's because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise. And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink and you get weaker. That's why people say “Use it or lose it！”
But most people don't know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise. Inside the cortex (皮層) of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells, called neurons. The nerve cells have branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network. Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems. When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger. The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow. Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do — like speaking a foreign language or doing algebra (代數(shù)) — seem to become easy after learning them for a period of time. The result is a stronger, smarter brain.
Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals' brains. They found out that animals that lived in a challenging environment were more “perspicacious” — they were better at solving problems and learning new things.
1.According to the first paragraph，________.
A. the function of our brain is like that of the muscle
B. until now it's impossible to explain the brain's mystery
C. many people believe one's intelligence is naturally determined
D. one's brain grows stronger as the age increases
2.Training muscles is compared to ________.
A. using the brain
B. connecting things in your brain
C. lifting weights
D. doing research about the brain
3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about_________?
The complex structure of the brain.
B. How changes in the muscles affect the brain.
C. The importance of the brain.
D. How the brain becomes stronger by learning new things.
4.What does the underlined word “perspicacious” in the last paragraph probably mean_________?
A. Strong. B. Smart. C. Popular. D. Active.
5.The paragraph that follows the passage will most probably talk about _______.
A. the differences between animals’ brains and humans’ brains
B. the relation between human brains and muscles
C. scientists’ findings about animals’ brains
D. how to make your brain smarter through self-development

Educating Girls Is a Real Lifesaver
Clare Short knows it. Every developing economist knows it. The World Bank knows it. The education of girls is the surest way to reduce poverty.
The reason is simple. All the evidence shows that taking girls out of the fields and homes, and putting them behind desks, raises economic productivity, lowers infant and maternal(產婦) death rates, reduces birth rates, and improves environmental management.
Why, then, are 90 million primary school-age girls around the world not in school? For the same reason that when Charles Dickens was writing David Copperfield 150 years ago girls were absent from the British education system: Men in power mostly prefer it that way, or are not interested enough in changing the situation to commit energy and money to doing so.
The countries with the poorest record for having women in positions of power or influence have the worst figures for girls’ education. High-profile intervention(介入) by organizations such as the World Bank has begun successfully with several countries, and more of the same will probably be needed to bring change in conservative, male-run states.
Even if there were no development payoff from gender equality in schools, the education of girls would still be a cause worth fighting for. Education is a human right, and the denial of it to girls is a scar on the community in the twenty-first century.
To be born a girl in a rural area in Nepal, Pakistan, Indonesia, Morocco, Togo, or Sudan — half a dozen of the most shameful performers — means being condemned to a life without school, education, or clean water, marriage and babies coming too early, too many births, children who die of preventable diseases, backbreaking work in the fields, subordination(從屬) to husband and his family, and an early death.
Every year, almost 12 million children under the age of five needlessly die of infectious diseases associated with poverty. But each additional year spent by their mothers in primary school lowers the risk of premature child deaths by about 8 percent. In Pakistan, an extra year of school for 1,000 girls could prevent sixty infant deaths.
With women and girls being the main farmers in Africa and southern Asia, their education offers a chance to develop more efficient farming practices, improve output, and raise awareness of the ecological needs of the land with tree planting and farming. Therefore, the world community cannot afford to ignore this avenue of change.
1.Which is Not the reason why educating girls reduces poverty?
A. It improves environmental management.
B. It raises economic productivity.
C. It creates more children.
D. It lowers maternal death rates.
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. The poor economy at that time.
B. Girls’ absence from school.
C. Energy and money.
D. The education of girls.
3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The countries where women have great influence and are in power always do worse in girls’ education.
B. Some organizations such as the World Bank haven’t taken the lead in girls’ education.
C. Some girls in Sudan and Indonesia are bound to live a life without education when they are born.
D. Each extra year of school for girls has nothing to do with the birthrate and maternal deaths.
4.How many more infants will survive when 100 girls stay in school for another year?
A. 5 B. 6 C. 8 D. 12
5.What does the author think of girls’ education?
A. essential B. terrible
C. indifferent D. helpless
