共用题干Intelligence一a Changed View1.Intelligence was believed to be a fixed entity,some faculty of the mind that we all possess and which determines in some way the extent of our achievements.its value therefore,was as a predictor of children's future learning.If they differed markedly in their ability to learn complex tasks, then it was clearly necessary to educate them differently and the need for different types of school and even different ability groups within school was obvious.Intelligence tests could be used for streaming children according to ability at an early age,and at 11 these tests were superior to measures of attainment for selecting children for different types of secondary education.2.Today,we are beginning to think differently. In the last few years,research has thrown doubt on the view that innate intelligence can ever be measured and on the very nature of intelligence itself. There is considerable evidence now which shows the great influence of environment both on achievement and intelligence.Children with poor home backgrounds not only do less well in their school work and intelligence tests but their performance tends to deteriorate gradually compared with that of their more fortunate classmates.3.There are evidences that support the view that we have to distinguish between genetic intelligence and observed intelligence.Any deficiency in the appropriate genes will restrict development no matter how stimulating the environment. We cannot observe and measure innate intelligence,whereas we can observe and measure the effects of the interaction of whatever is inherited with whatever stimulation has been received from the environment. Researches have been investigating what happens in this interaction.4.Two major findings have emerged from these researches.Firstly,the greater part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life.It is estimated that 50 percent of measurable intelligence at age 17 is already predictable by the age of four. Secondly,the most important factors in the environment are language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship.Much of the difference in measured intelligence between "privileged" and "disadvantaged" children may be due to the latter's lack of appropriate verbal stimulation and the poverty of their perceptual experiences.5.These research findings have led to a revision in our understanding of the nature of intelligence.Instead of it being some largely inherited fixed power of the mind,we now see it as a set of development skills with which a person copes with any environment. These skills have to be learned and,indeed,one of them is learning how to learn.6.The modern ideas concerning the nature of intelligence are bound to have some effect on our school system. In one respect a change is already occurring. With the move toward comprehensive education and the development of unstreamed classes,fewer children will be given the label "low IQ"which must inevitably condemn a child in his own,if not society's eyes. The idea that we can teach children to be intelligent in the same way that we can teach them reading or arithmetic is accepted by more and more people.Paragraph 5__________A:Main Results of Recent Researches.B:Popular Doubt about the New View.C:Effect of Environment on Intelligence.D:Intelligence and Achievement.E:Impact on School Education.F:A Changed View of Intelligence.

共用题干Cooking Oil Fumes Cause TumorThe leading cause of lung cancer among women in the city was cooking oil fumes while men are more likely to develop the disease from smoking,said medical experts after a five-year research study.Doctors announced the results yesterday with analysis on some new tendencies in lung cancer. They said patients are younger,especially women.According to the Shanghai Tumor research Institute,more local residents die of lung cancer in the city than anything else.Following breast cancer,it has the second-highest incidence rate.“An unhealthy lifestyle is a very important reason for lung cancer,”said Dr He Yumin from Shanghai Minshen Traditional Chinese Medicine Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment Center.He followed 2,276 lung cancer patients for five years.Among them,1,483 were male.Smoking causes 70 percent of cases among men while only 18 percent of female patients developed cancer from smoking or inhaling second-hand smoke,according to the report.However,more than 60 percent of women with the disease had long term,close contact with strong oil fumes from cooking and complained about irritated eyes and throat.About 32 percent of women fried foods in boiling oil in unventilated kitchens and about 25 percent of women's bedrooms were adjacent to the kitchen.However,local women were surprised to learn cooking oil fumes could lead to cancer.Some claimed they may change food preparation methods.“Unless my family and I don't eat at home every day,I must stay in the kitchen to cook,”said Xu Li,a 45-year-old local woman. “I know the fumes are bad for the skin,but it is the first time I heard that it can result in lung cancer. I have already started frying less.”Doctors said women's lung cancer had few links to personal health and physical condition,but was closely related to family cancer history,unhealthy dietary habits and weak immune systems.Other experts agreed with him.“Smoking is by far the biggest cause of lung cancer for men,”said Dr Tan Binyong, honorary president of the Respiratory Disease Institute at Fudan University's Medical College.“It's true that second-hand smoke and cooking fumes are the main causes among women.”His research also warned people not to stand near of stalls selling fried foods due to the poor quality of oils used.The chance of catching lung cancer is three times higher if exposed to the fume for a long time,6 experts said.What symptoms may be complained of by most women with lung cancer after long term close contact with cooking oil fumes? A:Irritated eyes and throat.B: Severe pain in both lungs.C: Continuous cough and headache.D: Difficulty in breathing.

共用题干第一篇The Culture of Campus DrinkingDrinking on college campuses in the United States is more pervasive and destructive than many people realize.Studies show that alcohol consumption is linked to at least 1,400 student deaths and 500,000 unintentional injuries annually.Alcohol consumption by college students is associated with drinking and driving,diminished academic performance,and medical and legal problems.Nondrinking students also may experience alcohol-related consequences,such as increased rates of crime,traffic crashes,rapes and assaults,and property damage.Traditions and beliefs handed down through generations of college drinkers serve to reinforce students' expectations that alcohol is a necessary component of social success.The role of alcohol in college life is evident in the advertising and sale of alcoholic beverages on or near campuses.This combination of social and environmental influences creates a culture of drinking that passively or actively promotes the use of alcohol.Yet efforts to reduce student drinking have largely been unsuccessful,in part because proven, research-based prevention strategies have not been consistently applied.It is first necessary to change the culture of college drinking if prevention strategies are to be effective.The analysis strongly supports the use of a"3-in-1 Framework"to target three primary audiences simultaneously:individual students,including high-risk drinkers;the student body as a whole;and the surrounding community.The leadership of college presidents and school administrators is crucial to develop appropriate plans,supervise the integration of policies pertaining to different aspects of student life,and ensure consistent enforcement of drinking-related policies.The culture of campus drinking is created by_________.A:passively or actively promoting the use of alcoholB:the role of alcohol in college lifeC:gaining social success with drinkingD:generations' traditional beliefs and environmental influence

共用题干Want to Be 100? Listen to These 5 Centenarians(百岁老人)Five neighbors at a central Missouri retirement community who are all centenarians get asked allthe time:"How did you live to be 100?"If you want to live to 100 or more,this rare group of five golden girls says the key to longevity(长寿)is working hard at a job you love and taking care of your body while you're at it.Even though an estimated 70,000 people in the country are currently at the century mark or beyond in age,it is unusual to find five 1 00-year-olds living in one place.The average life-span(寿命)of Americans is about two or three years short of an 80th birthday party.And most people don't want to cut out coffee,soda,alcohol,cigarettes, and eat healthy food."People tell me all the time, 'I don't want to live to be 100',"said Mildred Leaver, who turned 100 in June."I think that's just sad.Aging is attitude and I don't feel old,"said Leaver,a former educator who still drives her Buick around town.It doesn't take long to see that Leaver and her neighbors Mildred Harris,Grace Wolfson,Gladys Stuart and Viola Semas,have a lot more in common than their longevity and lifelong healthy habits.All are 100 except Stuart,who is 101.Even though their sight and hearing aren't what they used to be,they've all avoided illnesses that many elderly people are stricken with.It's been 50 years since Leaver beat cancer for the first and only time.The common thread that connects these women is the decades of service to jobs each loved as a farmer,designer,school principal,bookkeeper and secretary,In the early years of their lives,gainfully employed women like them were just as rare as 100-year-olds are today. The five centenarians live in a very friendly community.A:Right B:Wrong C:Not mentioned
