讀寫任務。
閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇 150 詞左右的英語短文。
     There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is sort of brain he is born
with. Human brains differ considerable, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good
a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn.
So the second factor is what happens to the individual - the sort of the environment in which he is brought up. If an individual is handicapped(受阻礙) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will stop to develop
and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
     The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be proved by the
identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were
placed in separate foster(寄養) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated
community with poor educational opportunities. John, however, was educated in the home well-to-do
parents who had been to college. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late
teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. John’s IQ was 125, twenty-five points
higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his brother.

Answer 1

                                                    How to fully develop our intelligence?
     The writer argues in support of the importance of environment in terms of the development of a
person’s intelligence by giving an example of a pair of twin brothers, who were brought up in different
environments.
     Personally, I believe environment is crucial to an individual intelligence, as a good environment can
offer more opportunities to increase his knowledge and broaden the horizons as well as the chances to
practise.
     There was such a famous example in Chinese history. Zhongyong, born with a high IQ, distinguished
himself by reciting and even writing poems as a child, which astonished others. Unfortunately, his father
didn’t offer him a good environment to foster him but instead, he often took him everywhere to show off
his intelligence. Gradually, Zhongyong became an ordinary person.
     Thus, I think we, including our parents, our teachers, and even the whole society, should try to create
a good environment for the children to fully develop their intelligence, and for the children, they should
also learn to exploit everything available to develop themselves.
