When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family ttled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing. I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(横杆), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found mylf wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back veral times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but cle
ar. Tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters.Waving(穿梭) among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T-shirt, skidded(滑) to the beam. He sat next to me. “I was a local here 20 years ago.” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
28. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?
A. He felt disappointed.
B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the weather there.
D. He had disagreements with his family.
29. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” mean?
A. Be careful!
B. Well done!
C. No way!
D. Don’t worry!图片检索
30. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?

B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks.
D. To relive his childhood days.

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.
Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itlf. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?
In the sciences and arts, tho praid as genius were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surpri. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and tho victors t the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by genius outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief—they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.
A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性别) are “really, really smart.” Even wor, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “re
ally, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.
Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to e flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will ѕее that ѕосіаl fасtоrѕ(因素) lіkе gеndеr, rасе, аnd сlаѕѕ dо nоt dеtеrmіnе thеарреаrаnсеоf genius. As a writer says, future genius come from tho with “intelligence, creativity, perverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”
32. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?
A. They’re unfair.
B. They’re conrvative.
C. They’re objective.
D. They’re strict.
33. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?
