New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the ‎ age of about 18.‎ Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激)from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle—the more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true—so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.‎ Professor Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten-year-old with brothers and sisters of average intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage compared to a similar child with equally bright brothers and sisters. However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to help pull them up.‎ Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job.‎ ‎21.What do people commonly believe?‎ A. People1 s IQ levels fall as they get older and older.‎ B. It’s wise for people to share family members’ views.‎ C. The intelligence changes no more during adulthood.‎ D. Doing challenging deeds is good for one’s intelligence.‎ ‎22.The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ________.‎ A. vary B. fall C. change D. develop ‎23.Which of the following can help improve one’s intelligence according to Professor Flynn?‎ A. Staying with smart people. B. Making many friends.‎ C. Doing exercise every day. D. Learning from parents.‎ ‎4.The purpose of the text is to ________.‎ A. persuade B. advertise C. entertain D. inform B The 15th Antarctica Marathon&Half Marathon is scheduled for March 9, 2015. While exploring this most unspoiled corner of the planet, you will come face-to –face with Antarctic beauties such as icebergs, penguins, seals and whales.‎ Departure from the U.S. is scheduled for late February with overnight flights to Buenos Aires for a three-night stay in Argentina’s capital from March 2 to 5. The Plaza Hotel Buenos Aires will host our guests and the welcome reception. Race check-in and an introduction of the regulations on this event take place on the same evening.‎ Due to the incredible popularity of this event, we are already sold out for 2015 and 2016. we are still accepting deposits for the waiting list for 2015 and 2016 and confirming space for 2017 . A completed booking form and a deposit of $300 per person must be mailed to request bookings.‎ Marathon Tours & Travel, the event organizer, together with One Ocean Expeditions, will provide the guidelines for runners and accompanying friends for this journey to the end of the Earth.‎ The course on King George Island, located off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, has marked gravel roads that connect the scientific research bases of Uruguay, Chile, China and Russia.

It's an instinct (本能) which can be woken up in times of emergency or need. When we feel that something is happening or about to happen by instinct，we're using resources within the unconscious (潜意识的) mind. When the resources of two persons' unconscious minds link together into the same frequency (频率)，we call it telepathy. We can either send or receive telepathy. If you know who is calling before you answer the ringing phone，you are probably a good receiver. If you think of a person and he/she calls you，you are most likely to be better at sending. You can easily put your ability to the test. Thinking of somebody and wish him or her to contact you. Be patient. The other person may not be a good receiver，but they should contact you much earlier than would normally be expected. Or whenever the phone rings，try ‘feeling' who is contacting you. Don't guess，but try to feel it with your mind. However，if neither of these works for you，that doesn't mean that you have no ability of telepathy. As mentioned earlier，telepathy is most likely to turn up in case of emergency. Telepathy dreams often contain telepathic messages. Two people may both dream of the other and find that their dreams have a clear connection. These people are probably linking to each other's unconscious mind. Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together，the more likely they are to be able to link up to the other's mind，especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the other's mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to communicate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the child's eagerly wanting his or her mother，knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them，and the mother's deep desire to protect her child from harm. 28.Telepathy happens when one ________. A.has a similar dream with another person. B.is good at ‎ guessing C.wants to call his/her best friend D.doesn't know a stranger 29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.The more people separate，the more likely that telepathy will occur in their life. B.Telepathy occurs when people make use of their five senses. C.Telepathy happens when people live far away and have no chance to see one another again. D.One is better at sending than receiving telepathy if one receives a friend's call as one wishes. 30.Which of the following belongs to telepathy? A.Your action in your dream. B.People's communication over the telephone. C.A mother's sense of her child being in danger. D.A couple's long separation. 31.Which one can be the title of the passage? A.Receiving Telepathy B.Dream of telepathy C.Telepathy: People's Dream D.Mind-to-Mind Contact D It was August 2nd, 1927. The news had spread fast.
