I tried and saw the square in the centre of the village.And Isaw the streets to the square.“See, Elsa,” Father said.“There is more than one way to the square. If you can’t get where you want to go by one road, try another.”Earlier that day I asked Mother to do something about what we had for lunch at school.But she didn’t think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help,he brought me to the church.At school the next day, I filled a bottle with the soup for our lunch and took it home. I told the cook to pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mather. She drank it and cried ou t,“What’s the matter with the soup today?”I at once told her what I had done,and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day.Now Ireally understood why Father had taken me to the church. I began to work as a fashion de signer two years ago.

It was a small school of four classes with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects to the children in the class. However, sometimes the headmaster, Mr Ronald Broaches, would come in and spend an hour or so, teaching some subjects in which he was especially interested. He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and loved telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very nice man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own case, I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would often stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle already on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical（逻辑的）. As time went on, they slowly got more difficult, but I loved them. Not only that, they made me interested in math and problem-solving that stays with me to this day. They also showed me that intellectual(智力的) activity was enjoyable when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great fun. To this day, I can remember Mr Broaches’cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. The simple communication with a man whom I loved greatly has had a deep influence on my life. I shall forever be thankful that we met each other. Mr Broaches died just two weeks after I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unluckily, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt later he had heard of my success and I will hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.6.There were ____ children in each class when Richard was in the school in Bath, England.A. 4B. 8C. 11D.257 From the text, we can learn that _____.A. the puzzles made the students laughB. the students were afraid of the headmasterC. the puzzles made Richard enjoy mathD. the headmaster never taught in school8 The writer felt sorry because ______.A.

And they all got the same answer: The sexes(性别) are different, because their brains are different. And this, the scientists say, makes men and women see the world in different ways.Boys, for example, generally are better than girls at mathematical ideas. Boys also generally are better than girls at the kind of hand and eye movements necessary for ball sports. Girls, on the other hand generally start speaking earlier than boys. And they generally(通常) see better in the dark than boys and are better at learning foreign languages.What makes men and women better at one thing or another? The answer is the brain. The brain has two sides connected by nerve(神经) tracks. The left side generally is used for mathematics, speech and writing. The right side is used for artistic creation(创造) and the expression for emotions(情感). In men and women, different areas in each side of the brain develop differently. In boys, for example, it’s the area used for mathematics. In girls, it is the area used for language skills. Another interesting difference is that the two sides of a man’s brain are connected by a smaller nerves than the two sides of a woman’s brain are.11Which of the following is best to outline(概括) the article?A.
