There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

1.A person’s intelligence ________.

A. stays unchanged in a certain environment

B. develops with the change of environment

C. is born at the same level as anyone else’s

D. is affected by the environment as well as the sort of brain he is born with

2.What is meant by “he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.”?

A. He will never fail to develop his intelligence.

B. He won’t become so intelligent as he should.

C. He is able to reach a high level of intelligence.

D. It is impossible for him to develop intelligence.

3.Which of the following statements is true concerning the twins?

A. The sorts of brain they are born with differ greatly.

B. They set up an example for studying the environment.

C. They became orphans once they were born.

D. They were adopted boys.

4.According to the text, the environment in which the twins were reared differs in the following aspects except ________.

A. intelligence level of the parents

B. family economic status

C. the age of their parents

D. community surroundings

There are two ways of driving in the world: if the driver’s seat is on the left and cars travel on the right side of the road, it is called “left-hand driving”, as it is in China, while the other way of driving is called “right-hand driving”, as it is in Britain. Nowadays, around 65% of the world’s population drives on the right of the road, while the rest is used to driving on the left.

Though no one knows the exact reasons, it seems likely that people in ancient times travelled on the left. Roman coins show pictures of horsemen passing on each other’s right. And right-hand people generally got on a horse from the animal’s left. Obviously, it’s safer to do this at the left side of the road, and it makes sense for the horse to be ridden on the left.

A change happened in the late 1700s. When Napoleon conquered nations, he forced them to travel on the right side of the road, which spread left-hand driving throughout Europe. However, Britain still stuck with the right-hand driving rule and countries which were part of the British Empire (帝国) were made to follow. This is why India, Australia and the former British colonies (殖民地) in Africa continue to drive on the left. One exception is Egypt, as that country was defeated by Napoleon before becoming part of the British Empire.

Some countries changed sides’ until modem times. Sweden only moved to driving on the right in 1967 and Iceland changed the following year. Ghana changed sides in 1974. On September 7,2009, Samoa became the third country ever to change from left-to-right-hand driving for the reason that it made it easier to import (进口) cheap cars from right-hand driving Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

So if you want to travel to another country or go on business, make sure you know whether it is left-or right- hand driving to avoid unnecessary troubles.

1.Which picture shows the correct driving in Britain?

A. 　　 B.

C. 　　 D.

2.In ancient times, Romans 　　　　 .

A. travelled on the right

B. rode past each other’s right

C. got on the horses from the right

D. behaved as they liked

3.In modem times, countries follow the same driving way except 　　　　 .

A. Egypt.　　 B. China

C. Sweden　　 D. Australia

4.What is the writer’s purpose for writing this passage?

A. To introduce the development of the two ways of driving.

B. To compare the differences of the two ways of driving.

C. To explain the advantages of the two ways of driving.

D. To complain about the change of the two ways of driving.

There are two great trends on parents bringing up children today．First，children are now praised to an unbelievable degree．As Dorothy Parker once joked，American children aren’t raised；they are motivated．Children are constantly told how special they are．The second is that children are honed(磨砺) to an unimaginable degree．Parents spend much more time than in past generations on their children’s development．

These two great trends—greater praise and greater honing—combine in close ways. Parents shower their kids with affection，but it is intermingled with the desire to help their children achieve success．Parents are happy when their child studies hard，practices hard，wins first place，gets into a famous college．

The wolf of conditional love is hidden in these homes．The parents feel they love their children in all circumstances．But the children often think differently．They feel that childhood is a performance—on the athletic field，in school and beyond．The shadowy presence of conditional love produces a fear，the fear that there is no completely safe love．

Meanwhile，children who are uncertain of their parents’ love develop a great hunger for it. This conditional love is1ike an acid that affects children’s criteria to make their own decisions about their own colleges，majors and careers．At key decision-points，they unconsciously imagine how their parents will react．

These children tell their parents those things that will bring praise and hide the parts of their lives that won’t. Studies suggest that children who receive conditional love often do better in the short run．They can be model students．But they suffer in the long run. They come to hate their parents．They are so influenced by fear that they become afraid of risk．

Parents today are less likely to demand obedience(顺从) with explicit rules and lectures．But they are more likely to use love as a tool to exercise control. But parental love is supposed to ignore achievement. It’s meant to be an unconditional support -a gift that can not be bought and cannot be earned．

1.What does the underlined word “intermingled” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Greeted．　　 B. Mixed．　　 C. Compared．　　 D. Separated．

2.Some children can’t make their own decisions probably because________.

A. they have too many options　　 B. they are lacking in parents’ advice

C. they are doubtful about parents’ love　　 D. they care too much about parents’ reaction

3.What’s the author’s opinion about parental love？

A. It doesn’t go to children with poor grades.

B. It is meant to control children’s behaviour.

C. It shouldn’t focus on children’s achievement.

D. It works with strict rules and constant reminding.
