The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, end their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark, on the other hand, was raised in the home of rich parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to a good school, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Peter's score was 85, well below the level he might have attained if reared under average conditions. Mark' s score was 125, twenty-five points above the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins would have tested at roughly the same level. (38) A．Children reared under average conditions possess average intelligence. B．Lack of opportunity prevents the growth of intelligence. C．An individual's intelligence is determined chiefly by his environment. D．Changes of environment produce changes in the brain structure.

W: I recently read that in ten years we'll be wearing clothes that change with the weather. So when it's cold, our clothes will warm up, and when it's hot, our clothes will cool off. M: Oh, very funny! So we'll be wearing huge clothes with built-in air conditioners and heaters. W: I'm being serious! Researchers have discovered a method of treating fibers with plastic crystals capable of storing and releasing heat as the temperature fluctuates. These treated fibers absorb more heat than untreated fibers. Researchers are still working with this, but soon this process will be widespread. M: That's fascinating. I didn't know that fibers had the capability of storing heat. How does that work？ W: These fibers work with the heat by rearranging their structures. The treated fibers move back and forth between two solid shapes. M: I don't understand. What kind of shapes do they change into？ W: When the weather gets warmer, the crystals take on cube shapes and absorb heat. When the weather gets cooler, the crystals become cooler and come back to their original structure. M: That's truly unbelievable. You said that it'd be a decade before this type of clothes will be available, What a shame! I don't think I can wait that long. (23) A．He is indifferent. B．He is doubtful. C．He is disgusted.
