However, students in a

30、 British grammar school really enjoy running on the corridor tiles (瓷砖) and their teachers even encourage them to do that.Why? It is because the corridor was built with special kinetic (动能的) tiles. When students jump on the tiles, electricity will be produced. After one year, the electricity produce

37、l the corridor in British schools was built with special kinetic tiles.E17、Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given t

38、o us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) 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 environment. Therefore, the limits of persons intelligence arefixedat birth, wh

39、ether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we tak

40、e two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar

41、intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factoryseparatelywhere the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intell

42、igence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接触) with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.1How is mans intelli

43、gence given?AAt birth BThrough educationCBoth at birth and through education DNeither at birth nor through education2What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?A稳固 B确定 C修理 D安排3According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?ABecome a gen

45、nvironment on intelligence.CThe importance of their jobsDThe part that birth plays5What statement is TRUE according to the passage?ANo education can help make a genius.BPersonality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.CPeople who have similar degree of intelligence must be

46、 relatives.DEnvironment influences people in intelligence developing.F18、Be honest. Thats all you have to do on Honesty Day. It would be great if we were all honest every day of the year. Its good that there is a day to encourage honesty. M. Hirsh Goldberg started Honesty Day. He chose the last day

47、of April because the first day is April Fools Day, which celebrate lies. On Honesty Day, anyone may ask you any question and you should give a true and honest answer. That means that you have knowledge of Honesty Day.M. Hirsh Goldberg wrote a book on telling lies. He said in his book that almost all person lie about 200 times a day.
