Published March 30, 2011)Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakes—and Jake Barnett has set out to prove it.Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe.He happens to be 12 years old.
From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars.When he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory.He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy.Jake’s IQ measured remarkably high at 170.
As a baby, Jake was found out with Asperser’s syndrome, a form of autism (孤獨癥).Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities.People with autism may also have strong interests—like Jake’s interest in the stars at a young age.
The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe.Asperser’s is one of the milder forms of autism.Sometimes people with Asperser’s, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art.
When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Asperser’s were worsening.He became quiet.And he was withdrawing from people.So a doctor recommended that Jake’s parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.
Jake’s mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class.Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI.
But Jake thinks it’s important to have a normal life too.He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies.He also enjoys playing classical music on the piano.But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing.Jake’s professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university.
Doctors have said Jake’s autism symptoms have lessened over time.Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”, or someone with Asperser’s.In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason I’m even at IUPUI.”
1.What did Jake want to do at IUPUI?
A. Get a degree in astronomy.
B. Put forward his own theory in physics.
C. Become an Albert Einstein in the future.
D. Teach his fellow students Theory of Relativity.
2.Which of the following is the correct order of the events that happened to Jake?

b. He began to study math and physics.
d. He was found out with a mild form of autism.
A. b-d-c-a
B. d-b-c-a
C. b-a-c-d
D. d-c-b-a
3.The underlined sentence in the passage means ______.
A. he was unable to help others
B. he was impolite to other people
C. he was afraid of seeing other people
D. he was only concerned about learning
4.In the eyes of Jake, autism is something ______.

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.
In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (發(fā)起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.
In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.
The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.
Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.
1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To encourage people to read and share.
C.To involve people in community service.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.
2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?
A.They had little interest in reading.
B.They were too busy to read a book.
C.They came from many different backgrounds
D.They lacked support from the local government
3.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?
A.In large communities with little sense of unity
B.In large cities where libraries are far from home
C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population
D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached
4.According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the growing popularity of the writers
C.the number of people who benefit from reading.
D.the number of books that each person reads.
