13.Hank was 26years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes.For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be-a five feet and eight inches tall.
2,4,6
Hank was born with diseased legs.Until he was seven,his world was a world of repeated operations.At last he had no legs,but stumps(残肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
Out of the hospital,Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest,Children laughed at him and called him"Ape Man (猿人)"because his arms dragged on the ground.
He went to school like other boys.His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
After middle-school graduation,Hank worked his way through college.He swept floors,waited on table,or worked in one of the college offices.During all his busy life,Hank had been moving around on his stumps.But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer.Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt cold all over.However,the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial(假的)legs.
Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time,five feet and eight inches tall.
But this was not the end yet.He had to learn to use his new legs.Again and again he walked in the room.There were times when he fell down on the floor,but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching.He went out on the street.He climbed the stairs and learned to dance.He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War II came,he talked the Red Cross into giving him a job.He took the regular training.He marched and drilled(训练)along with the other soldiers.Few knew that he was legless.This was the true story of Hank,the man without legs.

A.an average height for an adult
B.too tall for an average person

8.Are some people born clever,and others born stupid?Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?Strangely enough,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 in rich and varied surroundings.While the limits of a person's 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 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 ran dom(随机地) from population,it is likely that their degrees 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 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 contact with each other,but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.
