Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family-or maybe the last of nine?A study found that first-borns have an average(平均的)IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOS found that 43% of CEOS are first-borns; 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns First-borns are more likely(可能的) to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, The power of Birth Order, last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored (忽视)them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.Many factors(因素)make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.44.

How Can You Grow into a Big Man?CDo you love Beats headphones, True Religion Jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子)around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones, He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality(质量)and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brand?Experts say it's because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say "I belong”or “I” can afford it.”Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that somedesigner clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves.Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. " I'd rather spend the extra money to get something I know I'll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying "As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want. " But not all teenagers agree. " Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,”says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It' s fake(假的) happiness.”People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren't any better. "It's wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better give it to people in need.”48 . The example of Jim’s report wants to tell us ______.A. popular brands make people comfortableB. Koss Pro headphones are better than BeatsC. the hottest brands are of the highest qualityD. less-known brands may offer the same quality as popular brands49. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably ______.A. to show offB. for their better qualityC. for their better designsD. to make themselves different from others50. From Edmund's words, we can learn that ______A. he thinks expensive brands are not worth the price.B. he thinks expensive brands make him feel confident.C. he thinks expensive brands need to improve their quality.D. he thinks expensive brands pay too much attention to personal likes.5l. This passage is mainly about ______ .mpetition betA. how to buy thingsB. the competition between brandsC. the different values of teenagersD. whether expensive brands are worth high pricesDMoney is what people use to buy things they need or want. A long time ago, people didn’t use money. So how did they get the things they wanted? Well, there is a long and interesting story about this.At first, they would exchange something they had for something they needed. For example, if the shoemaker needed some bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would give him bread, he would give the baker shoes and the baker would give him bread. This was called "bartering(以货易货)”. Bartering worked fine for a while. But after the baker had too many shoes, the shoemaker still needed more bread. What could they do? The solution to this problem was money.There were many earlier forms of money, such as cattle, salt, and shells. But it was not easy to move them or store them, So coins began to take the place of things.Coins had-a fixed value and could be stored. It became possible for people to trade in a standardized(标准的) way. Different coins are worth different amounts, Metal tool money(金属工具钱币) was used in China as early as 1000 BC.About three hundred years ago, ______Paper money is cheaper to make than coins. It is also easier to carry around. Now people use both paper money and coins in most countries.Cash has long been the most popular form of money. But these days, things seem to have changed. Cashless payment has come into our lives and changed our world. China was the first country in the world to use paper money. Now, centuries later, it may become the first cashless society soon. Cashless payment apps such as Alipay and Wechat Pay are becoming more common in China . The buyer just scans(扫描) the quick-respond code(二维码) of the seller, or the other way around. No real money is needed at all. Is tomorrow already there.52. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. China was the first country in the world to use paper money.B. Cattle, salt, and shells were the earlier forms of money.C. Only the buyer can scan the quick-respond code of the seller.D. China may become the first cashless society soon.53. The missing sentence in Para. 5 might be “______. ”A. paper money completely took the position of coins.B. paper money came into wider useC. it was cheaper to make paper moneyD. it was convenient to take paper money54. From this passage, we can infer(推断)that ______A. bartering worked fine for a while, but it had many problems.B. coins had a fixed value and could be stored, so it took the place of bartering.C. the world may become a cashless society soon because of development of technology.D.
