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 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， 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 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.（1）In Para. 1， the word "surroundings" means ____ .A.intelligenceB.lifeC.environmentsD.housing（2）According the passage， if a child is born with low intelligence， what might happen to him later？ ____ A.Become a genius.B.Still become a genius if he should be given special education.C.Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.D.Never reach his intelligence in his life.（3）What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory？ ____ A.The importance of their intelligence.B.The role of environment on intelligence.C.The importance of their jobs.D.The part that birth plays.（4）What statement is TRUE according to the passage？ ____ A.No education can help make a genius.B.Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.C.People who have similar degree of intelligence must be relatives.D.Environment influences people in intelligence developing.（5）The best title for this article would be ____ .A.On IntelligenceB.What Intelligence MeansC.We are Born with IntelligenceD.Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence
