It is interesting to know what people of different nations like to do best．
In France, when a woman enters a cafe or restaurant, she is freely discussed, not only about her appearance but about her past and future as well．She invites looks in the street whether she is beautiful or plain．There is no better way for a woman to get back her self-confidence than a walk in the streets of Paris or Marseilles, and women really like that．
In Italy, people love talking．They sit about in cafes, exchanging news and discussing politics．They do not hesitate to ask questions about the family, income and private life of anybody who happens to be there．
The Swiss eat as a pastime．Ladies walk into a teashop, eat a couple of ice creams and a large piece of chocolate cake, and then leave, complaining about their weight．
For the Americans, the greatest fondness is said to be the push of buttons．You push a button in the lift, you push a button for cigarette, chewing gums, stamps, even for a life insurance．You can even push a button to get married and another button to get divorced．
In England, waiting in a line is national passion．The English will form a line whether they have the opportunities when the train is practically empty and everybody can have a seat．
Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To 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 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, 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(随机地) from the population,it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) 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 playsa 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.
Which of these sentences best describes the writer’s point in Para. 1?
A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.
B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.
C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.
D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.

C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely
to be in intelligence
D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees
of intelligence
