Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special 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 varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely 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 indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

1.Which of these sentences best describes the writer's point in Para. 1?

A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.

B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.

C.Some people are born clever and others born stupid.

D.Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

2.It is suggested in this passage that _________.

A.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence

B.close relations usually have similar intelligence

C.the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence

D.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence

3.In Para. 1, the word "surroundings" means ________.

A.intelligence B.life

C.environments D.housing

4.The best title for this article would be________.

A.On Intelligence

B.What Intelligence Means

C.We are Born with Intelligence

D.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence

Before moving to Stokholm, I did my research on Sweden and was confident about my move. However, I quickly realized on my first day that so much of what I learned was so very wrong. There are many things that a Google search cannot show about Sweden.

The first is fika. A fika is taking a break from whatever you are doing to enjoy a coffee with friends. Swedes value community highly so it makes sense that they would like to set aside time each day to reconnect with others. Fika is a great time to meet new people as well as catch up with friends.

I grew up in the American South where everyone is very friendly. I found that little things like not being asked my life story at the coffee shop by the waiter upset me. However, Swedish people are not rude. Instead, they practice being logom, which means “just enough”.

The winters can be very dark and cold, so the Swedish people do not take any sunny day for granted. Since the weather has been fine, I have found myself walking a lot around Stockholm. Often it is easiest to get from place to place by walking, which allows you to see so much of the city and enjoy the fresh air. Though it has been very tiring to get used to, it also has made me feel better about all of the kardemummabullar that I have been eating!

I think it is important for students who want to study abroad to know that it is hard to move to countries no matter how “similar” you may think they may be. You have to jump in with both feet and be patient with yourself as well as others. As long as you keep an open mind and are willing to learn, you will have a great experience.

1.What do we know about fika?

A.It is a waste of time. B.It is a way to balance life and work.

C.It is all about drinking coffee. D.It is a Swedish social tradition.

2.What does the author think of Swedish people?

A.They are friendly. B.They seem a bit cold.

C.They appear really rude. D.They are interested in other's life.

3.Why does the author like walking?

A.It is fun and not very tiring. B.It is good exercise on cold days.

C.It allows her to enjoy sunny days. D.It gives her the chance to eat the local food.

4.What's the author's advice for students going abroad?

A.Be confident. B.Be careful.

C.Be open- minded. D.Be hard- working.

It was decades ago now, but it’s still one of the most memorable conversations of my life. On a long, slow train heading north, with nothing to do but watch the rain, the man sitting opposite began trying to talk to me. Like most young women who have learned the hard way to be careful of strangers, I was unfriendly. But curiosity took over when he said that he was just bored, and liked talking.

So that’s what we did for hours and hours as the man turned out to be quite talkative. When the train finally pulled in, we didn’t change numbers. However, I still think about it sometimes on long, boring journeys, before getting a phone out and scrolling silently like everyone else. It’s a rare person who can cheerfully break the social rule about not talking to strangers without any ill intention, but life would be more interesting if more of us knew how to do it.

And that’s why I can’t be as cynical as I probably should be about “Tube Chat” campaign launched to encourage Britons to talk to each other. All anyone is being asked to do is to start a conversation they wouldn’t otherwise have had — maybe with a friend from whom they’ve been apart or a neighbor they don’t know.

Obviously, it takes more than a bit of small talk over garden fences to unite strangers together. More people live alone than did so a generation ago, and the rise in freelancing（自由职业）means more of us work alone too. We socialize increasingly through screens, sending texts instead of bothering to call.

It’s true that the “Tube Chat” campaign of a few years back failed in its attempts to make Londoners talk to each other on public transport. But even city people who would normally die rather than make eye contact with strangers still happily gather in large numbers by the Thames for the New Year’s Eve fireworks. They would get a far better view at home on television — it’s not really about the fireworks, but about being part of something communal (公共的).

There’s no guarantee (保证) that this latest campaign to reconnect will succeed wherever others have failed. But if there ever a moment to stop social disbelief it may start a fire to warm a world that sometimes feels cold. Wherever my train friend is now, ________.

1.The author introduced her train friend to ________.

A.share her most memorable but boring journey

B.express her deep regret for losing touch with him

C.show that talking to strangers can add interest to life

D.explain why people are becoming indifferent

2.The underlined word “cynical” is closest in meaning to ________.

A.doubtful B.supportive C.confused D.disappointed

3.The example of Londoners gathering for the New Year’s Eve fireworks is used to show that ________.

A.“Tube Chat”, failed in its attempts to unite strangers together

B.it’s hard to break the social rule about not talking to strangers

C.people have a wish to be socially connected by nature

D.“Tube Chat” made some difference to reconnecting people

4.Which of the following best fits in the blank in the last paragraph?

A.I hope he’s still talking B.I hope he is still as interesting

C.I will miss him forever D.I will try to get in touch with him

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A.Keep our desire to connect. B.Avoid talking to strangers.

C.Show respect for social disbelief D.Socialize with our friends.

Nice Places in America

The Doaks’ House in Waterford, Ohio

In the small town of Waterford, Ohio, one local household stands out. One fall Saturday every other year or so, Roger and Shirley Doak open their doors for family, friends and strangers. Since the 1960s, they’ve turned a day devoted to making apple butter into an all-day event. They start the fire at dawn, then take turns stirring it, and have a buffet until sunset. By the end of the day, they’ve created apple butter together.

Pflugerville High School, Texas

In a school of about 2,300 people, students love each other, regardless of race or ability. Perhaps the school spirit comes from events like Pay It Forward Day, which rewards students for kindness or the Coats for Kids Drive, a competition challenging schools to donate the most coats-which Pflugerville has won for the past six years.

Oriole Park in Baltimore, Maryland

Sure, Oriole Park in Baltimore, Maryland, is a fun place to watch a baseball game with a family. But this stadium goes beyond rooting for the home team; it also roots for acts of kindness.
