Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some degree our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and different surroundings. Thus the limits of persons' intelligence are fixed at birth, and whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This idea, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two twins, they are very likely to be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in touch with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.16. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can _______. A. become a geniusB. not reach his intelligence in his life第 4 页 C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsD. still become a genius if he should be given special education17.

The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _______.A. the part that birth playsB. the importance of their relationsC. the importance of their intelligenceD. the role of environment on intelligence19. The best title of the passage can be “_______”. A. Surroundings B. IntelligenceC. Dependence on EnvironmentD. Effect of Education(B)When Russell Lyons volunteered for the first time, he read Goodnight Moon toa class of San Diego preschoolers. And it wasn't reading—he'd memorized the bookand was reciting it out loud. He was 4. Still, he said it felt good up there,in front of the other kids, lending a hand. He wanted more of that feeling. Thirteen years later, he's getting a lot of it. He's on a five-month road trip across America—not sightseeing, but volunteering.The University City resident has spent time at an animal reserve in Utah, a women's shelter in St. Louis, a soup kitchen in New York, a retirement home in Tucson.This week he's in Los Angeles, at a program that supports disabled youth.“I just like helping people and feeling that something I do is making a第 5 页difference, ” he said. He resists the idea that his “Do GoodAdventure” is all that unusual. It bothers him that the media often describes young people as lazy, self-centered and materialistic. So he sees his trip asa chance to make a statement, too. “About 55 percent of teens do volunteer work, higher than the rate of adults, ”he said, according to a 2019 study. “Not everybody knows that. ”Of course, some teens do volunteer work because it looks impressive on their college applications. Lyons said he mentioned his trip on his submissions. But charity work is a habit with him. Even before the cross country trip, he was volunteering about 200 hours a year at various places. He's made sandwiches for homeless families in Washington D. C. . He's taught math to fifth-graders in Cuernavaca, Mexico.He gets some of that drive from his mother, Leslye Lyons, who has been involvedin nonprofits for much of her life. She was there when her son “read” to the preschoolers—a memory of hers “that will never go away. ”20. What did Russell Lyons think of his first volunteering? A. Creative.B. Impressive.C.
