21、spirit: we cannot flower and grow without it. And _46_, while most of us are only too _47_ to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are _48_ to give our fellows the warm sunshine of praise.

Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enoug

27、h, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent 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

28、 in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, 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 some

29、thing 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

30、identical twins, they will be 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 differ

31、ent 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 peop

32、le who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.56. The writer is in favor of the view that mans intelligence is given to him _. A. at birth B. through education C. both at birth and through education D. neither at birth

33、nor through education57. If a child is born with low intelligence, he can_. A. become a genius B. still become a genius if he should be given special education C. reach his intelligence limits in rich surroundings D. not reach his intelligence in his life58. In the second paragraph, the underlined s

34、entence means “if we_.” A. pick any two persons B. take out two different persons C. choose two persons who are relative D. choose two persons with different intelligence59. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately shows_. A. the importance of their intelligence B.

35、the role of environment on intelligence C. the importance of their positions D. the part that birth plays60. The best title of the passage can be_. A. Surroundings B. Intelligence C. Dependence on Environment D. Effect of Education （B）The German port of Hamburg has been offered $ 10,500 to change it

36、s name to "Veggieburg" by animal rights activists who are unhappy about the city's association with hamburgers. "Hamburg could improve animal welfare and bring kindness to animals by changing its name to Veggieburg," the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wrot

37、e in a letter sent to Hamburg Mayor Ole yon Beust. The German branch of PETA, which has 750,000 members worldwide, said the organization would give Hamburg' s childcare facilities 10,000 euros worth of vegetarian burgers if the city changed its name. But city officials in Hamburg, Germany's

38、second largest city which traces its roots to the ninth century, were unmoved. "I cannot afford to waste my time on this. I don't even want to look at nonsense like this," said Klaus May, a city government spokesman. "But that doesn't mean we Hamburgers don' t have a sense

39、 of humor." In its letter, PETA said the name Hamburg reminded people of "unhealthy beef patties(肉饼) made of dead cattle". "Millions of people fall ill each year with deadly illnesses like heart disease, cancer, strokes and diabetes from eating hamburgers," PETA said in the

40、letter. The original "hamburger steak", a dish made of ground beef, traveled west with Germans to the United States in the 19th century. The first mention of "hamburgers" appeared on a menu in a New York restaurant in 1834. Some historians trace its beginning to a beef sandwich o

41、nce popular with sailors in Hamburg. The city's name "Hamburg" comes from the old Saxon words "ham" (bay) and "burg" (castle). PETA recently made a similar offer to the U.S. town of Hamburg, New York. But their $15,000 bid was refused.61. Why did PETA suggest changi

42、ng the name "Hamburg" ? A. Because the name reminded people of a food made of animal meat. B. Because changing the name can prevent people from eating hamburgers. C. Because it can bring children much food to change the name. D. Because hamburgers cause so many diseases every year.62. What

43、 does the new name" Veggieburg" suggest? A. Stopping eating meat.B. Eating vegetables instead of meat. C. It's better for children to eat vegetables. D. Treating animals better.63. Which of the following statements of the German name "Hamburg" is true? A. The name came from a

44、 kind of food. B. The name came from the old German language. C. The name has a long history. D. The name has something to do with sailors.64. What do you think is the result of the suggestion raised by PETA? A. The two cities will have new names. B. The present names of the two cities will last. C.

45、 The children in Hamburg will have nothing to eat. D. People won't eat hamburgers in the future. （C）Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction”(减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds

At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldnt go there more often.After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers
