　　阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

　　"Can I get a light?" This question is among the most common between smokers. What if this question was to come from an unusual source? In April 2016, the National Health Promotion Foundation uploaded an anti-smoking advertisement onto YouTube. The anti-smoking ad has quickly been known as the "most powerful anti-smoking ad."

　　The anti-smoking video, called the "Smoking Kid," features children walking up to adult smokers asking for a light. The children in the ad are actors but the adults smoking are unsuspecting participants in the project.

　　The video begins with the statement "adults know that smoking is harmful, but don’t remind themselves of this fact " Once a "smoking kid" approaches the adults, every adult asked is shocked that a child with a cigarette in hand is asking for a light. The first adult starts by saying, "I’m not giving it to you," and the video goes on to state "every adult filmed said no and reminded the children that smoking is bad."

　　Before going away, the kid hands each adult a booklet after being turned down for a light. The booklet says, "You worry about me, but why not about yourself?" Each adult looks around for the child as their faces are filled with confusion and discomfort.

　　The video shows that a few of the smokers quickly threw away their cigarettes or put their cigarettes away, showing that this experiment was affective at that moment.

　　The most influential element in the ad isn't the use of children or the responses from the smoking adults. It comes down to something much simpler than that. Why is it that we worry about other people, forgetting to worry about ourselves?

　　1. According to the text, the anti-smoking ad is ______.

　　A. unusual

　　B. shocking

　　C. influential

　　D. encouraging

　　2. The underlined word "unsuspecting" (in Para. 2) probably means ______

　　A. uninformed

　　B. unwilling

　　C. unfortunate

　　D. unacceptable

　　3. What are the adults，reactions to the children asking for a light?

　　A. They pay no attention to children's request.

　　B. They reject kids，request and educate them.

　　C. They look around for children's parents.

　　D. They quickly throw children's cigarettes away.

　　4. The best title of the text might be ______.

　　A. Give up smoking, for your own sake

　　B. Keep away from smoking, adults

　　C. Tell your children not to smoke

　　D. Reject a child asking for a light

　　At the age of ten I could not figure out what this Elvis Presley guy had that the rest of us boys did not have. I mean, he had a head, two arms and two legs, just like the rest of us. About nine o’clock on Saturday morning I decided to ask Eugene Correthers, one of the older boys, what it was that made this Elvis guy so special. He told me that it was Elvis’ wavy hair and the way he moved his body.

　　　About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage（孤儿院）were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville, Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a hair cut.That is when I got this big idea, which hit me like a ton of bricks.If the Elvis hair cut was the big secret, then that’s what I was going to get.

　　All the way to town I told everybody, including the matron（女管家）from the orphanage who was taking us to town, that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him.

　　When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Buster Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.

　　We finally arrived at the big barber shop, where they cut our hair for free because we were orphans（孤儿). I looked at the barber and said, “I want an Elvis hair cut. Can you make my hair like Elvis?” I asked him, with a big smile on my face. “Let’s just see what we can do for you, little man,” he said. I was so happy when he started to cut my hair. Just as he started to cut my hair, the matron signed for him to come over to where she was standing. She whispered something into his ear and then he shook his head, like he was telling her “No”. Then he told me they were not allowed to give us Elvis hair cuts. Then I saw my hair falling onto the floor.

　　阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Three years ago, the president of Harvard, Lawrence H. Summers, got into trouble for questioning women’s“intrinsic (内在的)aptitude (能力)”for science and engineering. Recently, a study paid for by America’s National Science Foundation has found that girls perform as well as boys on standardized math tests.

　　Although boys in high school performed better than girls in math 20 years ago, the researchers found that is no longer the case. The reason, they said, is simple: Girls used to take fewer advanced math courses than boys, but now they are taking just as many.

　　“Now that enrollment in advanced math courses is equalized, we don’t see gender differences in test performance,” said Marcia C. Linn of the University of California, Berkeley, a co-author of the study. “But people are surprised by these findings, which suggests to me that the stereotypes are still there.”

　　The researchers looked at the average test scores of all students, the performance of the most gifted children and the ability to solve complex math problems. They found, in every category, that girls did as well as boys.

　　Janet Hyde, a professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, who led the study, said the stereotypes about girls and math, had taken a toll (造成伤害).

　　“The stereotype that boys do better at math is still held widely by teachers and parents,” hyde said. “And teachers and parents guide girls, giving them advice about what courses to take, what careers to pursue. I still hear anecdotes about guidance counselors (顾问)steering (指导)girls away from engineering, telling them they won’t be able to do the math.”

　　The study also analyzed the gender gap on the math section of the SAT. Since more girls than boys go to college, about 100, 000 more girls than boys take the test, including lower-achieving girls who bring down the girls’ average score.

　　1. What might be the reason to carry out the study?

　　A. To put Harvard University to shame for its president’s prejudice against girls.

　　B. To find out if there’s any gender gap in science.

　　C. To help girls to earn equal social status as boys.

　　D. To enroll more girls in advanced math courses in the university.

　　2. Which statement about people’s opinions of girls is NOT true?

　　A. People still find it hard to believe average girls perform in math as well as boys.

　　B. Highly educated people are more likely to accept the fact that girls can do well in math.

　　C. Many teachers and parents advise girls to avoid careers like engineering based on their talent.

　　D. Some guidance counselors think careers related with math are not suitable for girls.

　　3. We can learn from the text EXCEPT ______.　

　　A. girls used to perform worse than boys in math because they didn’t take as many advanced math courses

　　B. the stereotype about girls and math may lead to misguided choice of future careers

　　C. the average lower scores of girls in SAT math test prove that boys do better in math

　　D. the public doesn’t accept outspoken prejudice against girls’ talent for math despite the stereotype

　　4. The main purpose of writing the passage is to______.　

　　A. report the findings of a research into girls’ math ability

　　B. criticize those who hold the wrong belief that girls cannot do well in math

　　C. prove that the stereotype that girls do worse in math is wrong

　　D. help girls regain confidence in learning math well
