On my first day of teaching, all my classes are going well. 1 a teacher was going to be
something easy and sure, I decided. Then came Period 7, the last class of the day.
As I walked 2 the room, I heard furniture crash. Rounding the corner, I saw one boy
pinning 3 to the floor. "Listen, you retard!" yelled the one on the bottom, "I don' t 4 a
damn about your sister!"
"You keep your hands 5 her, you hear me?" the boy on 6 threatened.
I drew 7 my short frame and asked them to stop 8 . Suddenly 14 pairs of eyes were
fixed on my face. I knew I did not 9 convincing. Glaring at each other and me, the two boys
slowly 10 their seats. At that moment, the teacher from 11 the hall stuck his head in the
door and shouted at my students to sit down, shut up and do 12 I said. I was left 13
powerless.
I tried to teach the lessons I had prepared, but was 14 a sea of guarded faces. As the
class was leaving, I kept back the boy, Mark, who had instigated(挑起) the fight. "Lady, don' t
15 your time," he told me, “We're the retards.” Then Mark wandered 16 the room.
Dumbstruck, I 17 into my chair and wondered 18 I should have become a teacher.

environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To
2 / 12

some extent, our intelligence is given 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 a rich and varied environment.
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 without any plan 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. Family members like brothers and
sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this suggests that intelligence
depends on birth.
Imagine that now 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 environments as
well as birth plays a part. This view 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. From the first paragraph we can infer that _____.
A) no way can make a stupid child cleverer
B) environment plays a more important part in intelligence developing than birth.
C) a rich and varied environment enables one to reach one's highest level of intelligence
D) if one is born bright, he can reach his highest limit of intelligence whatever environment he
lives in
2. The expression "identical twins" can best be replaced by _____.
A) two boys born together by the same mother.
B) two girls born together by the same mother.
C) two children of different sexes born together by the same mother.
D) two children born together by the same mother and are exactly alike.
3. The 3rd paragraph argues that _____.
A) twins should be sent to universities instead of factories.
B) environment has more influence on intelligence developing.
C) environment is not as important as birth in intelligence developing.
D) both birth and environment play a part in intelligence growth.
4. Which statement would the author probably DISAGREE with?
A) Intelligence is given at birth and developed by environment.
B) It is impossible for people without any blood relationship to have similar intelligence.
C) People who have similar experience are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
D) One cannot control his own birth, but can choose a favorable environment.
5. What is the best title for this passage?
A) Intelligence.
B) Degrees of Intelligence.
C) Intelligence Is Given by Birth.
D) Intelligence Depends on Environment.

In Japan it is not at all unusual for children to live at home well into their twenties---until
they can stand on their own feet and start a family of their own. Japanese parents not only don' t
1 this, they actually prefer to 2 their kids at home with them as 3 as possible. This, I
think, would come 4 a great surprise to most Americans, because in the United States the
5 is very different.
As soon as American children---male or female, working or going on to college---get__ 6
high school, they want to 7 out and live on their own. This often means 8
near-poverty; but being poor, they say, is the 9 of freedom. Parents, meanwhile, far 10
being sad to see their children go, actually 11 them to get out. It is 12 as if the
children were being kicked out of the family 13 like baby birds---flying away never to return.
But now, they are returning, and the old fashioned life-style of 14 generations living
together under one 15 may be coming back in vogue (流行).
Of course, freedom and privacy are sacrificed for 16 parents and children, and the clash
of values between the 17 can cause a lot of friction. But one novelist whose daughter
recently moved back home 18 four years of university thinks it's a good idea. "It's a step
19 , because in order to get along in the world, you have to get along with your parents--- 10
if they are difficult."

Thousands of young people visiting the Isle of Wight for the pop music festival are finding
that they have themselves become a tourist attraction. Family men driving past the festival site in
family cars stop to let the children see the hippies'.
In their view anybody with a rucksack and long hair is a hippy. One can almost imagine the
children being ordered not to open the doors.
At Yarmouth an elderly woman is supposed to have jumped into a stranger' s car and asked
for a lift because she was afraid of the hairy youngsters, , It would not be fair to say that the whole
island regards all young people attending the festival as creatures from another world, but there is
ample evidence of a gap between the pop culture which this week's event represents and the
attitude of many of the island's usual visitors.
Yet on the 200-acre festival site the show is being put together efficiently. Supplies of food
are being brought in ahead of time to cope with the numbers of hungry people who are expected
to arrive. A huge tent has been erected to store tons of tinned food, fruit and vegetables. Trucks
loaded with country produce give part of the site the appearance of a vegetable market.
In case of trouble, extra police are being called in from the mainland. Hundreds of tents
have been put up, and some temporary huts made out of straw and plastic materials.
Behind the site the East Afton hills rise pleasantly before dropping to the sea. The hills
belong to the National Trust and have been fenced off to prevent too many visitors from camping
on National Trust property and, incidentally getting a free seat for the concerts.
The White Panther' revolutionary movement, which has attacked the festival as ‘an obvious
example of capitalist interests seeking to exploit the people's music’, has pointed out that the

concerts can be listened to from the hills. But most people seem happy enough to pay to go in.
They have to do so only on the third day. As a gesture of good-will the organizers have decided
not to charge for admission on the first and second days. Less well-known groups and artists will
perform during this warming-up period.
But obviously the promoters who have spent 500,300 pounds on the open-air festival hope to
make a profit and with about 40,000 fans already present, and perhaps another 200,000 on the way.
No doubt they will, unless the weather lets them down.
