27. Going to court can be frightening, especially if you are a child. You may have to stand up in the witness（证人）box, and swear（发誓）to tell the truth and answer questions in front of a crowd of adults. It would be even more frightening if you were the victim of a crime and you had to sit in the same courtroom（法庭）as the person accused of attacking you, for instance.
So the law in Britain has made it easier for children to act as witnesses. Children are allowed to tell what they know, from another room in the same courthouse. This way they do not have to face all those people in the courtroom.
It works on a closed-circuit（闭路的） television link, which means that the TV only operates inside the court. The child witness sits in a room with a social worker in front of a TV camera. Everyone in the courtroom can see the child on a TV screen, but the child can only see the judge and the lawyers who will ask him or her questions. The system has been so successful that is will be extended to more courts this year.
Another way to make it easy for a child to act a witness is to set up a screen in the court room around the witness box so that the child cannot see the defendant（被告）.
Information given by children can be very important to a court trial（审判）, but before1988 the law did not really recognizes that children told the truth. It stated that anything a child said in court had to be supported by other evidence in the case.
(1). A child witness, if he were the victim of the crime, would be frightened most by______.
(A) all the questions he had to answer (B) the judge and the lawyers (C) the person accused of attacking him (D) the crowd of adults he had to face (2). The most important point of the new system that made things easier for a child witness is that_______.
(A) he speaks in front of a TV camera (B) everyone in the courtroom can see the child (C) he is in another room in the same courthouse (D) he does not see the defendant (3). What does the author think of the new system according to the third paragraph?
(A) Very successful. (B) Hardly acceptable. (C) Just an experiment. (D) Not very good. (4). Has the law always recognized the importance of children’s information in court?
(A) Yes. (B) Before 1988, yes. (C) Not until 1988 (D) No. (5). The word “case” in the last paragraph means_______.
(A) a trial (B) a particular situation (C) a box (D) a particular incident

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.
If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-bright" children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
(1). According to this passage, intelligence is _______.
(A) the ability to do well in school (B) the ability to deal with life (C) the ability to get high scores on some tests (D) the ability to study well (2). In a new situation, an intelligent person_______.
(A) cares more about himself (B) knows more about what might happen to him (C) is sure of the result he will get (D) concentrates on what to do about the situation (3). If an intelligent person failed, he would_______.
(A) make sure what result he would get (B) learn from his experiences (C) try to regret as much as possible (D) try not to feel ashamed (4). Bright children and not-bright children_______.
(A) have difference only in their way of thinking (B) have different knowledge about the world (C) are two different types of children (D) are different mainly in their degree of cleverness (5). The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about _______.
(A) how an unintelligent person should be taught (B) how education should be found (C) how to solve practical problems (D) how to determine what intelligence is

As prices and building costs keep rising, the "do-it-yourself"(DIY)trend（趋势）in the U.S. continues to grow.
"We needed furniture（家具）for our living room, “says John Ross,” and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs. “John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for ＄ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house. Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for ＄ 420."I was deeply upset about it. Now I've finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself."
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so the can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a "do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

(A) he had to raise the children all by himself (B) the car repair class was not helpful (C) he could no possible do two jobs (D) his car repairs cost too much (5). What would be the best title for the text?
