Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to bo

2、th these questions is yes. On one hand, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and special education can never 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 va

3、ried surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons 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 say that intelligence is something we are born with. Th

4、e 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 from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins,

5、they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually havesimilar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine that now we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We mi

6、ght 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 co

7、ntact 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 writers point in Paragraph 1 ?A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is developed by the environment.C.Some people are born

8、 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.close relations usually have similar intelligenceB.unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligenceC.the closer the blood relationship between

9、 people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligenceD.people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence3.The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows _.A.the importance of their intelligenceB.the r

10、ole of environment in intelligenceC.the importance of their positionsD.the part that birth playsB In colleges around the country, most students are also workers. The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up lat

11、e, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isnt a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work

12、year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition(学费) and living costs, obviously. And theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be vital for developing important prof

13、essional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. But its not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely

14、 cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the minimum wage, they would earn just over $ 15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and meals at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that th

15、ough theyre sacrificing(牺牲) time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes. There is little reward f

16、or attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone to college at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can

17、 create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.1.It can be learned from the passage that todays college students actually _.A.attend a number of partiesB.work while attending schoolC.stay up late all the timeD.care little about exams2

20、Working College StudentsB.The Advantages of Working While StudyingC.The Struggle to Balance Work and SchoolD.The Difficulties of Landing a JobC We believe that there is more to education than preparation for a job. Children must be prepared for all aspects(方面) of their future work, personal relation

21、ships, creative activities, dealing with money matters, independence, and parenthood. But it would be unrealistic(不现实的) to provide an education which took no consideration of the needs of employers. What type of training does the business world regard as important? Many young people applying for job

22、s were, in the employers opinions, very weak in the basic skills of handwriting, grammar and spelling. Though additional education at university level improved the students general ability, a report states, in basic skills the standards remained stubbornly low. There are different opinions about whe

23、ther standards have gone down in recent years. What is certain is that employers do not believe the standards are now high enough. Do technological changes make greater demands upon the students abilities? We should also remember that the job expectations of young people have increased. Girls who wo

24、uld have once become shop assistants or hairdressers now want to be secretaries. Boys who sought an apprenticeship (学徒工作) 20 years ago now desire to have an engineering degree. But it is still the same girls and boys with the same degree of ability. No wonder there are problems in reaching the neces

25、sary standards of the business world. Many employers believe that it is important for teachers to have experience outside the world of college and school.

Most countries have a legally defined age to determine when a person becomes an adultthe age of majority. In Australia, most states consider a person to be an adul

31、t in court at 18. The age of 18 is also consistent with other adult privileges, such as the right to purchase alcohol and to marry. However, 17-year-olds can serve in the army and get a drivers licence. The law defines adulthood on the basis of age and it also recognizes the process of becoming an a

32、dult as involving himself gradually in social responsibility.

Socially, determinants of adulthood traditionally focus on a person

33、taking increasing responsibility for their lives in various ways. Completing school, taking full-time employment, getting married and parenthoodthese are all observable indicators to determine when a person is viewed as an adult.
