Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answers to these questions are both 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, 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 from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical 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 should soon find differences in intelligence developing and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close touch with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degree of intelligence. (274 words)

第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(dá)

We all know eating out can be a lot of fun. There’s the experience of having someone wait on your every need，the social aspect of being in a restaurant with friends and，of course，the great benefit of the lack of in—home cleanup.

2We all also know eating out can be expensive，and I’m pretty sure college isn’t the most

financially successful time in a normal person’s life. That’s why eating at home for a majority of meals really is the only option for many college students.   

Eating at home doesn’t have to be dull，boring，or difficult. —It can and should be an energetic，creative experience that transforms the way you look at food. When you cook for yourself, you know exactly how your pasta(意大利面)is going to turn out. You know where the greens in your salad come from. You know the olive oil you’re using really comes from olives that are pressed for the first time. Use eating at home as all opportunity to learn and develop your kitchen skills. I promise you they will remain useful and rewarding for the rest of your life.

Another important concept is to keep in mind that when it comes to shopping for food—less quantity, more quality. Buy base ingredients that are fresh，as local as possible and beautiful，and anything you cook will improve greatly. I promise you will be just as satisfied by eating a little bit less of something with a lot more quality.

I am not saying eating out is a bad thing. But I insist there are many more places that are not worth your cash. Put a little more effort into cooking for yourself at home and you will gain experience and appreciation for the world of food.    

1.. List three benefits of eating out according to the text. (no more than 20 words)

①_______________   ②_______________ ③_____________

2.. Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 2. (no more than 4 words)

Many college students have to eat at home because of __________________.

3. What's Paragraph 3 mainly about?(no more than 7 words)

____________________________________________________________________

4.What advice is given concerning shopping for food in Paragraph 4?(no more than 4 words)

____________________________________________________________________

5.. What does the underlined word it in the third paragraph refer to?(no more than four words)

____________________________________________________________________

(1) What is the single largest cause of sick leave in the UK? The answer is not the common cold or flu, but back pain. Back pain affects one in three British adults, costs the country over £5 billion every year and is extremely difficult to treat.

(2)But now Britain's National Health Service (NHS) will be offering a new solution: acupuncture (針灸).The ancient Chinese needle treatment has been around in the UK for many  years, but this is the first time it has been officially supported.

(3)Traditionally, doctors in the UK have advised back pain sufferers to stay active, do stretching exercises and take painkillers when necessary. In more serious cases some people are given X-ray treatment or injections.

(4)The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE), however, say there is evidence that acupuncture may_____ than expensive X-rays or injections, so patients who have been suffering for over six weeks should be given a choice. As an alternative to acupuncture, patients will be able to opt for either a course of spinal manipulation (脊椎推拿), or a series of special exercise sessions.

(5)In the UK, acupuncture is classed as a complementary treatment, which is the term given to a medical procedure which hasn't gone through the strict trials by which scientists prove some treatments work.

(6)While many experts have welcomed the move to make acupuncture available on the NHS, some are still sceptical about its effectiveness. Research from the US earlier this month found that simulated acupuncture using toothpicks which do not make a hole in the skin could be as good as using real needles. So while some are yet to be convinced, back pain sufferers will be hoping that acupuncture helps get them feeling healthy and mobile again. Employers, on the other hand, will be hoping it gets them back to work.

1.What's the best title of the text?(No more than 10 words)
