12．There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence．The first is the sort of brain he is born with．Human brains differ considerably，some being more capable than others．But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with，an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn．So the second factor is what happens to the individual-the sort of environment in which he is reared．If an individual is handicapped envionmentally，it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable．
The importance of environment in determining an individual's intellingence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins，Peter and Mark．Being identical，the twins had identical brains at birth，and their growth processes were the same．When the twins were three months old，their parents died，and they were placed in separate foster homes．Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities．Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college．He was read to as a child，sent to good schools，and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually．This enviromental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens，when they were given tesets to measure their intelligence．Mark's I．Q．was 125，twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother．Given equal opportunities，the twins，having identical brains，would have tested at roughly the same level．

28．This selection can best be titledB．
A．Measuring Your Intelligence
B．Intelligence and Environment
C．The Case of Peter and Mark
D．How the brain Influences Intelligence
29．According to the passage，the average I．Q．isB．
A.85 B.100 C.110 D.125
30．The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion thatC．
A．individual with identical brains seldom test at same level
B．an individual's intelligence is determined only by his enviroment
C．lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence
D．changes of enviroment produce changes in the structure of the brain．

11．Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father，"Bu，Dad，you can't be healthy if you're dead．"
Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear his safety belt--a mistake 75% of US population make every day．The big question is why．
There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago．The following are three of the most common．
Myth Number One It's best to be"thrown clear"of a serious accident．
Truth：Sorry，but any accident serious enough to"throw you clear"is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing．And chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield （挡风玻璃）or door to do it．Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are"thrown clear"．
Myth Number Two：Safety-bets"trap"people in cars that are burning or sinking in water．
Truth：Sorry again，but studies show that people knocked unconscious （昏迷） due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents．People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents．People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation，not to be trapped in them．
Myth Number Three：Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30miles per hour （mph）．
Truth：When two cars traveling at 30mph hit each other，an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10metres．

5．I was driving past our town park the Saturday before Easter last year and noticed a large group of adults putting thousands of plastic eggs around the park in preparation for an Easter egg hunt．The eggs were in plain sight，consistent with the current thinking that no child should be expected to work up a sweat．The children were lined up behind a rope，the smallest in front，to get first crack at the egg，applying a standard of fairness that exists nowhere in the world that I know of．
When I was a kid，the town kept its nose out of the Easter egg business．The day before Easter，my mother went to Johnston's IGA（a grocery store） and bought three dozen eggs，vinegar，and food coloring．While she was boiling the eggs，we poured hot water，vinegar，and food coloring in coffee cups，and spread the Saturday morning indianapolis Star on the kitchen table．Then，we dipped the eggs in cups．
My oldest brother，Glenn，hid the eggs in roof gutters 30 feet aboe the ground，buried them in the center of thorn bushes，beneath foundation stones and in snake holes，any place that could result in our death or disfigurement while hunting for them．It took us weeks to find them，and some we never did discover would work their way to the Earth's surface the next winter．
Usually，one of us found way more eggs than the other four of us---usually Glenn，since he had hidden them in the first place．Complaining was useless，since our parents wouldn't have done anything about it except to tell us to stop complaining．It would never have occurred to them to place the eggs in plain sight，or to take us by the hand and guide us from egg to egg，or to urge the bigger children to leave some eggs for the smaller children．
Will the kids in our town have such fun if we keep coddling （spoiling） them？

B．Readily available．
C．Faraway．
D．Hardly noticeable
26．How did the author's parents deal with their complaining？C
A．They treated it fairly．
B．They took it seriously．
C．They played no part in it．
D．They punished the complainer．
27．Why did the author ask the question in the last paragraph？B
A．To ask readers to answer it．
B．To encourage deep thinking．
C．To blame young kids nowadays．
D．To show his doubt about education．
