A famous study was done in a school by a professor (教授) from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等), and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.

    What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers' attitude (态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.

    Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they'll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make the best he can be.”

Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, “Johnny, you’re the most terrible boy in this class. I’m sure you’ll never change.” The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she talked with Johnny after school and said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it?” And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did terrible things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader.

44. The five average students became top students mainly because of         .

   A. the professor’s study                 B. the change in the professor’s attitude

   C. the teachers’ hard work               D. the change in the teachers’ attitude

45. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny?

   A. To show the importance of encouragement.    

B. To show that the boy was clever enough.

   C. To let us know the famous boy.              

D. To let us know how good his new teacher was.

46. According to the story, we can learn that         .

   A. the research began at the end of the school year        

   B. the students scored highest only because they worked hard

   C. if you expect the most from people, you’ll get the least  

   D. little Johnny like his new teacher very much

47. What does the passage mainly tell us?

   A. If you want to get more, you should have new teachers.   

B. Attitude and belief can change a person.

   C. A professor’s study can help you score highest.         

 D. Only teachers can make you a top student.

Why do plants grow in some places and not in the others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
    To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass.
    Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
    Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food.
     What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won’t. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.

48. What does the underlined word “cracks” mean in the text?
    A. 缝隙                       B. 表面                      C. 夹层                       D. 底部
49. The reason why most plants can’t grow on the sandy beach is that         .
    A. there isn't enough sunlight                       B. there is too much water
    C. it is too crowded there                             D. it has little food for plants

50. The passage can most probably be found in a          book.
    A. science                   B. history                   C. travel                            D. maths
