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 monly 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 bee 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 musclethe more you use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also trueso 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 pared 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 monly believe?A. People1 s IQ levels fall as they get older and older.B. Its wise for people to share family members views.C. The intelligence changes no more during adulthood.D. Doing challenging deeds is good for ones intelligence.22.The underlined word “nosedive” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _.A. vary B. fall C. change D. develop23.Which of the following can help improve ones 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. informBThe 15th Antarctica Marathon&Half Marathon is scheduled for March 9, 2015.

Its 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，were 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. Dont guess，but try to feel it with your mind. However，if neither of these works for you，that doesnt 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 others unconscious mind. Telepathy & relationship. The more people spend time together，the more likely they are to be able to link up to the others mind，especially when separated. There are two reasons for this. One is that they understand the others mind through time spent together；the other is that there is usually a strong desire to municate. A mother will often sense that her child is in danger. This is due to the childs eagerly wanting his or her mother，knowing that this is the person who would always want to be there for them，and the mothers 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 guessingC.wants to call his/her best friendD.doesnt know a stranger29.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 friends call as one wishes.30.Which of the following belongs to telepathy?A.Your action in your dream.B.Peoples munication over the telephone.C.A mothers sense of her child being in danger.D.A couples long separation.31.Which one can be the title of the passage?A.Receiving TelepathyB.Dream of telepathyC.Telepathy: Peoples DreamD.Mind-to-Mind ContactDIt was August 2nd, 1927.
