Queen Victoria was monarch of Great Britain from 1837 until her death in 1901. This period is often called the Victorian Age.

Queen Victoria was a stern and serious woman. One reason she was so serious was that she had suffered a  great loss. When she was twenty years old, she married a German prince named Albert. Victoria and Albert were deeply in love, and their marriage was extremely happy. In 1861, after they had been married for twenty-one years, Albert died, leaving Queen Victoria heartbroken. For the rest of her life, the lonely Victoria mourned his loss. It was customary in those days for a widow to dress in black for a short time after the death of her husband. But Queen Victoria dressed in black for forty years. And for forty years, as another sigh of her grief, she wrote her letters white paper edged in black.

Even before Prince Albert died, Queen Victoria was known as a very serious woman. She had a strong sense of duty and worked very hard at all her tasks. In her diary she wrote, “I love to be employed; I hate to be idle.” She never forgot that she was Britain’s queen and always acted with great dignity. Victoria had high ideals and moral standards that sometimes made her seem stuffy. She was also very sure of herself. She always thought that she was right, and she expected everyone to agree with her.

Which of the following statements about Queen Victoria  is NOT true?

She had great confidence in herself.

She ruled Great Britain for sixty-four years.

She enjoyed her marriage to a German prince.

She became a serious woman after her beloved husband died.

Dear sir,

I graduated this year and wanted to get a work. I thought I would be success, but finally I

failed. That was why I was so lazy that I didn’t want to go out. I always complained for the hot

weather. And there was another reason nobody know about: I regarded myself someone who

couldn’t do anything lonely. I often felt less capably than others. When I found a company that was

advertising, I was even afraid to call to ask for details. I wanted to make a move, and I was always

disappointed. What should I do? I’m looking forward to receive your reply.                                                                                                                                                                     

                                                                     Yours

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.

We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理學家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.

Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”

65.   A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.

       A. whose parents are clever

       B. often thinking about difficult problems

       C. often helped by his parents and teachers

       D. born with a good brain and putting it into active use

66.   It is better for parents ________

       A. to praise and encourage their children more often

       B. to be hard on their children

       C. to leave their children alone with nothing to do

       D. to give their children as much help as possible

67.   Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?

       A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.

       B. The less you use your mind, the duller you may become.

       C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.

       D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
