         A maths talent who won fame this week for giving up a milliondollar prize is living with his mother in
    a simple flat in St Petersburg, coexisting on her ￡ 30amonth pension, because he has been
    unemployed for many years.
         The Sunday Telegraph tracked down the strange recluse(隐士) who shocked the maths world
    when he solved a centuryold puzzle known as the Poincar? Conjecture.
         Grigory Perelman's trouble comes from a split with a leading Russian mathematical institute, the
    Steklov, in 2003. When the Institute in St Petersburg failed to reelect him as a member, Dr Perelman
    was left feeling an "absolutely ungifted and untalented person", said a friend. He became unconfident
    and cut himself off.
         Other friends say he cannot afford to travel to the International Mathematical Union's congress in
    Madrid, where many people want him to receive the maths equivalent(等价物) of the Nobel Prize, and
    that he is too modest to ask anyone to pay for his trip.
         Interviewed in St Petersburg, Dr Perelman insisted that he was unworthy of all the attention, and
    was uninterested in the prize. "I do not think anything that I say can be of the slightest public interest,"
    he said. "I am not saying that because I value my privacy, or that I am doing anything I want to hide.
    There are no topsecret projects going on here. I just believe the public has no interest in me."
         He continued: "I know that selfpromotion happens a lot and if people want to do that, good luck to
    them, but I do not regard it as a positive thing. I realized this a long time ago and nobody is going to
    change my mind. Newspapers should be more discerning(有洞察力的) over who they write about.
    They should have more taste. As far as I am concerned, I can't offer anything for their readers."
         Dr Perelman has some small savings from his time as a lecturer, but is apparently unwilling to increase
    them with the D＄1 million offered by the Clay Mathematics Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
    for solving one of the world's seven "Millennium Problems".  
    1. Grigory Perelman lives with his mother because ________.
    A. he has to look after her
    B. his mother has a million dollars
    C. he has been out of work for a long time
    D. he is badly paid at the mathematical institute
    2. The phrase"absolutely ungifted and untalented person"shows that Dr Perelman felt ________.
    A. angry          
    B. discouraged
    C. proud                    
    D. confident
    3. Grigory Perelman refused to accept the prize because ________.
    A. he thought the prize was worthless
    B. he didn't believe the news
    C. he couldn't afford to travel to Madrid
    D. he showed no interest in it
    4. From the passage, we can infer that Grigory Perelman ________.
    A. solved the most difficult maths problem
    B. has a strong personality
    C. wanted to make himself known to all
    D. didn't get on well with the press
    5. What's the best title for the passage?
    A. Great Mathematician Leads Simple Life
    B. Maths Genius Abandons a Milliondollar Prize
    C. Mathematics Institute Offers Grigory D＄1 Million
    D. One of the World's Seven "Millennium Problems" Solved

    Men have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
    In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.
    The study's participants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.
    Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.
    The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.
    One of the study's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.
    "The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.
    The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
    It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
    A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
    The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.
    51. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
    A. man are smarter then women
    B. man are more stupid the women
    C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
    D. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees
    52. According to Timothy Bates, less women are in the smartest group because _________.
    A. they are born stupid
    B. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than men 
    C. they don’t like to take risk
    D. they are not expected to be high achievers
    53. The underlined word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.
    A. agree with      B. deal with     C. go against     D. go with
    54. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
    A. Women are steadier in their learning.
    B. men are more ready to take risk in everything
    C. women are securing more firsts and seconds
    D. women are doing much better in academy
    55. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?
    A. Why are men smarter than women? 
    B. Why are men more stupid than women?
    C. How does the result go along with the past research?
    D. How can we help the men in the bottom?
