He drove straight to the office without any trouble and stopped in front of the door. He locked his car and started to go into the office, but then he turned round and went back to his car. “I’ve locked my keys in my car!” he said to himself.

It seems that great artists and scientists often suffer from mental (精神的) problems. Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whether mental illness and genius（天才）are linked.
Dr Adele Juda studied 5,000 creative people
in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group
than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate (比例) of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower
numbers for painters and architects.
Other scientists did
research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and
creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.
Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough. Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric (精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.
Also, the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.
But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.
Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.
6. According to Dr Adele Juda, which of the following has the lowest rate of mental illness?
A. Painters. B. Musicians. C. Poets. D. Bus drivers.
7. The underlined phrase "make a breakthrough" in the 4th paragraph means "_____".
A. discover or find something new and important
B. make a way through using force
C. (of the sun or moon ) appear from behind (clouds)
D. suddenly change (from a slower to a faster pace)
8. Based on the research of Dr Ruth Richards of Harvard University, we can conclude that _____.
A. great artists and scientists often suffer from mental problems
B. the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group
C. psychiatric
patients have more creativity than the average people
D. it is our genes that determine the link between creativity and mental
illness
9. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Among the 5,000 creative people in Germany, more people suffer from mental diseases than the general population.
B. There is a strong link between mental problems and creativity.
C. Psychiatric patients make greater contributions than common people.
D. The key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes.
10. What is the writer's attitude toward madness?
A. Madness is harmful to the whole society.
B. A little creative madness is good for us all.
C. All the talented people are mad.
D. Only the people with mental illness have more creativity.
C
While many teenagers may dream of meeting with pop star Jay Chou（周杰伦）or NBA hero Yao Ming, Li Jing had a far more powerful person on her mind. The Senior 2 from Beijing No. 35 High School dreamt of meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin.
After more than a year of hard work and with a little good luck, Li filled（实现）her dream. On October 11, 2004, the 16-year-old girl joined a team of Chinese journalists who went to the Kremlin（克里姆林宫）, in Moscow, to interview Putin.
Li felt nervous before talking with Putin. “But his greeting and warm smile put me at ease,” she said.
Li admires Putin very much, because of his strong will and style of leadership. “He looks very cool,” Li said. During her interview, Li asked Putin whether he plans to educate his two teenage daughters to be officials in the future. Putin smiled and answered he hopes they can do whatever job suits their interests and personalities.
Although Li would only have several minutes, she started working on her interview questions last August after applying for the opportunity. “Journalists’ work is by no means easy. You need to do lots of homework on your interviewee,” she said. She read many books about Putin and Russia in her spare time.
Li’s parents encouraged her to be a students journalist. “We fully support her, as long as it does not affect her studies,” said her father. Previously（以前）in her job for a student magazine, Chinese Young Journalists, she wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao during the SARS epidemic（疫情流行）.
Li has learnt a lot from her experience. She said learning to manage her time and develop the confidence to speak with important people were not things she could learn in class.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Interview with a president. B. A girl who realized her dream.
C. Travel in Russian. D. Russian President Vladimir Putin.
12. The underlined word “interviewee” in the fifth paragraph probably means ____________.
A. the person who interviews
B. the person who is interviewed
C. The person who know how to interview
D. the person who plan to interview a famous people
13. Which of the following best describe Li Jing’s parents’ attitude towards her being a student journalist?
A. They think to be a student journalist is purely a waste of time.
B. They worry that to be a student journalist will affect her studies.
C. They consider it is quite good for Li Jing on the condition of not striking her study. D. They neither support it nor object to it.
14. Li Jing is different from those students of her age in that _____________.
A. she doesn’t like pop star Jay Chou.
B. she hates meeting with the NBA hero Yao Ming.
C. she wants to meet neither Jay Chou nor Yao Ming
D. she dreams of meeting the present powerful Russian leader
15. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Li realized her dream not just because of her hard work.
B. Li was at ease at the first sight of president Putin.
C. Li considers Putin a great leader because of his strong will and style of leadership.
D. Li thinks it impossible to learn in class the confidence to speak with great people
