单项选择题

You and your parents can stop worrying-Pasteur, Edison, Darwin and lots more were far from being geniuses in their teens.
History books 1 mention it, but the truth is that many of our greatest figures were 2 "beatniks" when they were teenagers. They were given to daydreaming, indecision, plain dullness, and they showed no 3 of being doctor, lawyer or Indian chief.
So, young men and women, if you suffer from the same 4 , don’t despair. The world was built by men and women whose parents worried that they would "never 5 to a hill of beans." You don’t hear too much about their early failure because parents prefer to cite more 6 examples.
If you take piano lessons and your attitude towards practicing is 7 by laziness, your parents might 8 complain and flaunt before you the famous picture of little Mozart in his ruffled nightshirt, playing the piano at midnight in the attic. 9 the point is, your parents would not show you a picture of a certain party who never showed a 10 of interest in music during his 11 years. In fact he never showed 12 in any direction whatever. Finally put to studying law, he 13 passed his final exams. It was not until he was 22 that he suddenly became fired 14 a great passion for music, and his name was Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky.
In the sciences, there have been hundreds of geniuses who aimed straight at the 15 from earliest years, and hundreds who showed no 16 at all. There were the teenage Mayo brothers, who actually 17 their father in his crude country operating room. 18 Harvey Cushing, one of the world’s greatest brain surgeons, might have become a professional ballplayer if his father hadn’t 19 that he give 20 a try.

A. seldom
B. often
C. always
D. uniquely

单项选择题

Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that the hopes and dreams they cherished when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to 41 you, don’t despair; you aren’t 42 with the label. Screen stars 43 tailor their names, and with some determination, you can, too.
Legal rules are more 44 in this matter than you might expect. How many newlyweds, 45 , are aware that no law requires a woman to 46 her husband’s name Not only that, but in most states parents can give their children any name they wish, 47 it’s not that of either parent. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, for example, named their son Tony Garrity.
If you do wish to 48 a new name, you don’t need an attorney to make the switch official. 49 common law, all that’s necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, 50 , that you must use it everywhere-even 51 your mother-for it to become your 52 name. You must also change all your identification papers and 53 . Your Social Security number will remain the same; just fill 54 form SS-5 at your local Social Security office, and they’ll 55 the Internal Revenue Service. Be sure to practice your new signature until you write it naturally and 56
Getting friends to call you Leah instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork 57 , but you’ll probably encounter official resistance, too. Be assured that no law should 58 you from using whatever name you’ve established for any transaction, 59 it’s not for purposes of fraud, unfair competition, or to otherwise 60 any illegal activity.

A. accord
B. surprise
C. fit
D. adjust

You and your parents can stop worrying-Pasteur, Edison, Darwin and lots more were far from being geniuses in their teens.
History books 1 mention it, but the truth is that many of our greatest figures were 2 "beatniks" when they were teenagers. They were given to daydreaming, indecision, plain dullness, and they showed no 3 of being doctor, lawyer or Indian chief.
So, young men and women, if you suffer from the same 4 , don’t despair. The world was built by men and women whose parents worried that they would "never 5 to a hill of beans." You don’t hear too much about their early failure because parents prefer to cite more 6 examples.
If you take piano lessons and your attitude towards practicing is 7 by laziness, your parents might 8 complain and flaunt before you the famous picture of little Mozart in his ruffled nightshirt, playing the piano at midnight in the attic. 9 the point is, your parents would not show you a picture of a certain party who never showed a 10 of interest in music during his 11 years. In fact he never showed 12 in any direction whatever. Finally put to studying law, he 13 passed his final exams. It was not until he was 22 that he suddenly became fired 14 a great passion for music, and his name was Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky.
In the sciences, there have been hundreds of geniuses who aimed straight at the 15 from earliest years, and hundreds who showed no 16 at all. There were the teenage Mayo brothers, who actually 17 their father in his crude country operating room. 18 Harvey Cushing, one of the world’s greatest brain surgeons, might have become a professional ballplayer if his father hadn’t 19 that he give 20 a try.

Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that the hopes and dreams they cherished when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to 41 you, don’t despair; you aren’t 42 with the label. Screen stars 43 tailor their names, and with some determination, you can, too.
Legal rules are more 44 in this matter than you might expect. How many newlyweds, 45 , are aware that no law requires a woman to 46 her husband’s name Not only that, but in most states parents can give their children any name they wish, 47 it’s not that of either parent. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, for example, named their son Tony Garrity.
If you do wish to 48 a new name, you don’t need an attorney to make the switch official. 49 common law, all that’s necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, 50 , that you must use it everywhere-even 51 your mother-for it to become your 52 name. You must also change all your identification papers and 53 . Your Social Security number will remain the same; just fill 54 form SS-5 at your local Social Security office, and they’ll 55 the Internal Revenue Service. Be sure to practice your new signature until you write it naturally and 56
Getting friends to call you Leah instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork 57 , but you’ll probably encounter official resistance, too. Be assured that no law should 58 you from using whatever name you’ve established for any transaction, 59 it’s not for purposes of fraud, unfair competition, or to otherwise 60 any illegal activity.

A. even if
B. as if
C. let alone
D. at least

A 1993 study showing that students who did reasoning tests while listening to the 1781 Sonata for Two Pianos in D by Mozart tended to outperform those who did so in a silent room launched a widespread belief in what is commonly referred to 21 "the Mozart effect."

Yet 28 the broad embrace of the theory, critics have 29 wondered ff it has any actual merit. As the AFP reports, the "Mozart effect" is 30 number six in the 2009 book 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology.
And a new inquiry from researchers in Vienna 31 with the skeptics: in a 32 of 40 studies including some 3,000 people, psychologists at Vienna University found no evidence that listening to Mozart 33 makes people smarter.

You and your parents can stop worrying-Pasteur, Edison, Darwin and lots more were far from being geniuses in their teens.
History books 1 mention it, but the truth is that many of our greatest figures were 2 "beatniks" when they were teenagers. They were given to daydreaming, indecision, plain dullness, and they showed no 3 of being doctor, lawyer or Indian chief.
So, young men and women, if you suffer from the same 4 , don’t despair. The world was built by men and women whose parents worried that they would "never 5 to a hill of beans." You don’t hear too much about their early failure because parents prefer to cite more 6 examples.
If you take piano lessons and your attitude towards practicing is 7 by laziness, your parents might 8 complain and flaunt before you the famous picture of little Mozart in his ruffled nightshirt, playing the piano at midnight in the attic. 9 the point is, your parents would not show you a picture of a certain party who never showed a 10 of interest in music during his 11 years. In fact he never showed 12 in any direction whatever. Finally put to studying law, he 13 passed his final exams. It was not until he was 22 that he suddenly became fired 14 a great passion for music, and his name was Peter Ilyitch Tschaikowsky.
In the sciences, there have been hundreds of geniuses who aimed straight at the 15 from earliest years, and hundreds who showed no 16 at all. There were the teenage Mayo brothers, who actually 17 their father in his crude country operating room. 18 Harvey Cushing, one of the world’s greatest brain surgeons, might have become a professional ballplayer if his father hadn’t 19 that he give 20 a try.

A. nearly
B. easily
C. barely
D. rarely

Though your parents probably meant your name to last a lifetime, remember that the hopes and dreams they cherished when they chose it may not match yours. If your name no longer seems to 41 you, don’t despair; you aren’t 42 with the label. Screen stars 43 tailor their names, and with some determination, you can, too.
Legal rules are more 44 in this matter than you might expect. How many newlyweds, 45 , are aware that no law requires a woman to 46 her husband’s name Not only that, but in most states parents can give their children any name they wish, 47 it’s not that of either parent. Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden, for example, named their son Tony Garrity.
If you do wish to 48 a new name, you don’t need an attorney to make the switch official. 49 common law, all that’s necessary is to start using the name of your choice. Remember, 50 , that you must use it everywhere-even 51 your mother-for it to become your 52 name. You must also change all your identification papers and 53 . Your Social Security number will remain the same; just fill 54 form SS-5 at your local Social Security office, and they’ll 55 the Internal Revenue Service. Be sure to practice your new signature until you write it naturally and 56
Getting friends to call you Leah instead of Lola may be harder than any paperwork 57 , but you’ll probably encounter official resistance, too. Be assured that no law should 58 you from using whatever name you’ve established for any transaction, 59 it’s not for purposes of fraud, unfair competition, or to otherwise 60 any illegal activity.
