     People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius of his age. There are only a few men in all
of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.
But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius. "There is no such thing as
genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
     But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the
secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could usefully do with them.
     Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work
of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men
enjoyment and pleasure.
     Edison could not understand how anyone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think, he also
loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life. "Work,"
he answered, "Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier." He said he had enough
inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
1. According to Thomas Edison, what's genius?

For as long as I can remember, Grandma’s plentiful tomato garden has been a sign of summer’s end. Each September, just as the decreased heat of the sun suggests cooler days, Grandma requests (ask for something) my help in her tomato garden. I’m sure that she cannot pick tomatoes without my youthful eyes and quick mind. She says we need to examine each tomato and agree on its readiness for picking. While Grandma’s request for my help in the tomato garden is always the same, her desire for my help seems to increase each year.
  Grandma has eyes for finding even the tomatoes hidden by undergrowth and other tomatoes. I, however, just turn circles looking for the ones I think Grandma will like. I spot what looks like a ripe(成熟的)tomato, head in its direction, and then get sidetracked by another that appears to be equally ripe. I usually end up watching Grandma and trying to stay out of her way, which seems the only way my eyes and mind are useful.
  There we are, lost in the tomato vines(藤). Grandma’s eyes are always knowing, and they are no different in the vegetable garden. From afar she spots (notice) what looks like a ripe tomato. As she walks toward the garden, she evaluates the tomato for a second time, but from a different angle. I already know it will end up in the basket with the pile of others Grandma has carefully chosen. However, Grandma acts as if she needs a final look to be sure. She calls me to her side, kneels beside the vine while enjoying the warmth of the fading sunlight on her face, and grasps the tomato in her hand. She turns each round, red ball toward the sunlight before disconnecting it from the vine with a half-hearted smile.
  She then looks at me. I nod my head and smile. Grandma assumes I smile in agreement with her tomato selection. I know I smile, instead, at her.
【小题1】Why does Grandma ask the author to go to the tomato garden with her?

A.He can help pick more tomatoes.
B.He can learn the hardship of labor.
C.She enjoys staying with him while working.
D.She tries to share tomato harvest with him.
【小题2】The second paragraph shows that the writer _________.
A.isn’t good at picking tomatoes
B.doesn’t like to stay with Grandma
C.thinks his eyes and mind are useful
D.is trying to be out of Grandma’s sight
【小题3】What’s the best title of the story?
A.Gardening—good for my Grandma.
B.Growing Grandma.
C.Gardening—good for my growth.
D.Picking tomatoes.

It's the end of class. When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their cell phones. They want to log on* to their micro blogs to check the interesting things that have happened in the last hour.

  Since last year, the trend* of micro blogging has swept the country. Recent surveys shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update* their blogs over five times per day.

  "We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class," said Andy Liang, 14. "If you do not know about them, you are out of the loop."

  It is also a great place for students to let out stress. "My parents always ask me to study all the time, and encourage me before exams, but it really adds pressure," said Simon Zhang, 15. "When I share these feelings on my micro blog, I get many replies from friends in the same situation, which makes me feel better."

  But parents are worried that micro blogging could be a waste of time. Some misleading messages may even cause danger to kids, they said.

  Mr. Shen, a professor at the China Education Association, suggests parents not worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging. Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children. "If parents can read their children's micro blogs, they'll know their thoughts, thus leading to better communication and solutions to problems," he said. He also gives some tips for kids.

  ---Don't micro blog for more than one hour a day.

  ---Never micro blog in class.

  ---Try to talk face to face with people from time to time.

  ---Be critical*. Don't trust all the messages on a micro blog.

1.The underlined part "out of the loop" in the passage probably means                 .

  A. not popular    B. not excited    C. unhealthy        D. unlucky

2.Micro blog made Simon       when he shared his feelings and got replies on his micro biog.

  A. feel sad       B. let out stress   C. add pressure      D. make friends

3.We can know from Mr. Shen that micro blogging can                  .

  A. make kids crazy while logging on to it        

 B. bring a lot of misleading messages

  C. become a window to understand young kids      

D.lead to worse communication

4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

  A. It's good for kids to micro blog for more than one hour a day.

  B.Kids should trust all the messages on a micro blog because they are useful.

  C.The trend of micro blogging has swept the country since five years ago.

  D. Kids should try to talk face to face with people, not just micro blogging.
