I shall never forget one showing which was really a challenge. I was busy getting ready to show my winter fashions. Then just a few days before the presentation, the sewing girls were called out on strike. I found myself left with one tailor and the woman who was in charge of the sewing room! I was as gloomy as my models and sales girls. "We will never make it," one of them cried.
Where was the way out this time? I wondered and worried. I could not help thinking of the day when my father had brought me to the highest spot not far from our home. I was only ten years old. "Look down, my dear daughter," Father said. I gathered all my courage and looked down. I saw the square in the center of our little town and I saw the crisscross（十字型） of twisting streets leading to the square. "See, my dear," Father said, "There is more than one way to the square. Life is like that. If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another."
What would be another road this time? I was almost certain we would have to call off the presentation - or else show the clothes unfinished. Then it dawned on me. Why not show the clothes unfinished?
We worked at fever pitch（程度）, and exactly right on time, the show took place.
What a show it was! Some coats had no sleeves; other had only one. Many of our clothes were still in an early stage. They were only patterns made of heavy cotton cloth. But on these we pinned sketches and pieces of material. In this way we were able to show what colors and textures the clothes would have when they were finished.
All in all, the showing was different. It was so different that it was a great success. Our unusual showing caught the attention of the public, and orders for the clothes poured in. Father's wise words had guided me once again. There is more than one way to the square and always so!

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 (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists 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 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".

A.introduce the topic of what makes a clever mind
B.compare Albert Einstein with ordinary people
C.summarise the characters of an intelligent person
D.prove that there are no answers to these questions

A.a normal person...a funny person

答案：C
8.A person ______ is more likely to become a genius.
A.whose parents are clever
B.who often thinks about difficult problems
C.who is often helped by his parents and teachers
D.who is born with a good brain and putting it to active use
答案：D
9.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
答案：A
