1．When it comes to Albert Einstein （1879-1955），it's easy to imagine an old，crazy-haired genius.But before he ever came up with the theory of relativity，Einstein was a 23-year-old patent clerk，working for the minimum wage.Young Einstein decided to earn some extra cash tutoring physics.He put up an ad，and Maurice Solovine，a student of philosophy，responded.The two did not do much traditional studying，but instead chatted about philosophy.Conrad Habicht ，a mathematician and a friend of Einstein，joined their debates.They jokingly called themselves the Olympia Academy.
We've gathered together some books the members of the Olympia Academy read and discussed.Maybe the literature that inspired Einstein can inspire you to be clever，too.
A Treatise of Human Nature by David Hume
David Hume，a 18th-century Scottish philosopher，was always suspicious.He believed "everything we know is really just a matter of probability".He argued "reason doesn't motivate people''，which led to all sorts of questions，such as "So what's motivating you to write this？"
"The chief benefit ，which results from philosophy，arises in an indirect manner，and more from its secret insensible influence，than from its immediate application，" Hume wrote.
Analysis of Sensations by Ernst Mach
An Austrian philosopher Ernst Mach wrote about how mysterious senses are.In an attempt to figure out how humans experience balance，Mach cleverly built a turning chairs ，which used shades of gray bands to show that the colors people saw were deeply affected by the colors around them.
Science and Hypothesis by Henri Poincare
Henri Poincare，a 19th-century French philosopher，was also a theoretical physicist ，an engineer and a mjye.aihemjye.aiician.At college，he was fantastic at math.He created1 his special theory and wrote Science and Hypothesis，Some of his thoughts actually sowed the seeds for Einstein's theory of relativity，such as the idea that time is relative.

2．Growing up in rural Jiangsu Province，Yu Jigao showed a strong interest in fine arts at an early age and studied on his own for years.His hard work paid off later.In the early 1950s，he made his way to Nanjing Normal University，where he learned painting theories and techniques from some famous artists.It was then that Yu found his lifelong artistic zeal for jye.ai.Gongbi paintings usually describe birds and flowers，symbols of beauty and joy，in an artistic way with intense color.

While observing traditional rules，he uses accurate lines，powerful brush movements as well as the interplay between dark and light to represent the harmony of nature.Though he adopts a realistic style，he tries to enrich his works with spiritual beauty through his brush.Yu says， "That feeling turns into the images of singing birds and elegant flowers in my paintings.Thanks to his careful observation of nature and artistic sensitivity，Yu is able to combine realistic description with artistic expression in his brushwork.

3．Adults are often embarrassed about asking for aid.It's an act that can make people feel weak.The moment you ask for directions，you reveal that you are lost.Seeking assistance can feel like you are broadcasting your incompetence.New research suggests that as early as seven，children begin to connect asking for help with looking incompetent in front of others for the same reason.
To learn more about how children think about reputation，researchers prepared simple stories and then asked children questions about the scenes to allow kids to present their thinking.They asked 576 children，aged four to nine，to predict the behavior of two kids in a story.One of the characters genuinely wanted to be smart，and the other merely wanted to seem smart to others.They told children that both kids did poorly on a test.They then asked which of these characters would be more likely to raise their hand in front of their class or to ask the teacher for help.The four-year-old children were equally likely to choose either of the two kids，as the one who would seek help.But by age seven or eight，children thought that the kid who wanted to seem smart would be less likely to ask for assistance.When assistance could be sought privately，children thought both characters were equally likely to ask for it.
The research shows that children may avoid seeking help when others are present.Their unwillingness can seriously stop academic progress.To improve in any field，one must work hard，take on challenging tasks and ask questions.These efforts can be difficult when someone is concerned with their appearance to others.
Such barriers likely require reputation-based solutions.First，adults should lower the social risks of seeking help.For instance，teachers can give children more opportunities to seek assistance privately.Parents can point out how a child's question starts a valuable conversation in which the entire family，get to talk and learn together.Adults can praise kids for seeking assistance.These responses send a strong signal that other people accept and attach importance to willingness to ask for aid and that seeking help is part of a path to success.
（1）Why do children fear to ask others for help？
A．They always suffer rejection.
B．They are afraid of losing face.
A．They make others feel embarrassed.
B．They lack communicative competence.
（2）How did the researchers get their result？
A．By grouping adults and kids.
B．By referring to previous data.
C．By seeking help from teachers.
D．By doing comparative analysis.
（3）What does the research show about children？
A．They tend to ask for assistance in private.
B．They prefer helping others to being helped.
C．They are more willing to seek help in public.
D．They care less about their appearance than before.
（4）What can people do to remove children's reputation-based barriers？
A．Expose children to social risks.
B．Value children's efforts to get help.
C．Point out children's errors in the conversation.
D．Create opportunities for children to seek help openly.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5

9．閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
It was a lovely spring morning in the mountains of my home.Here was full of natural atmosphere.The sky was blue，the sun was warm，and the air was fresh.As driving along the winding road，I could see thousands of wild flowers in bloom.When I turned round，I slowed down as I saw some volunteers picking up garbage along the side of the road.I just smiled as I saw them doing some cleaning in spring for Mother Earth and my mind suddenly.floated back in time to another spring morning long ago.
When my children were younger，I used to walk along a small route around the lake near my home.It was also on a spring morning that I noticed much garbage lying along the route.The next day，I brought a big garbage bag and started to slowly pick up the garbage along my way.All kinds of deserted objects lay all over the floor.There were pop cans，plastic water bottles，wrappers for candy bars，empty chip bags，pieces of broken fishing line and even an old shoe.Every time I stopped，I picked up a piece of garbage.And I even fished some garbage out of the edge of the water.By the time I circled the lake，the garbage bag had been nearly full.
Tired but happy，I put the bag in an empty garbage can.I stopped before I headed home and took one last look at the lake as the sun set.It looked more beautiful than ever and I felt like the angels were looking down upon it with me and sharing my smiles.
I always think that at times this world's problems can seem overwhelming and you may wonder what you can do to make a difference.But the truth is that every good thing you do matters a lot!I do believe every time I stop to pick up a single piece of garbage，I can make a difference.As my children are adults now，I decide to spend more time protecting the environment and I hope more people will join me.

（1）續(xù)寫詞數應為150左右；
（2）So I begin to encourage others to develop the environmental awareness.Many days have passed，and the surroundings have improved a lot.
