TEXT C

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with.

Human brains differ considerably , some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has

to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the

second factor is what happens to the individual— the sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an

individual is handicapped(不利 ) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail 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 demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were

placed in separate foster(抚养) homes. Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community

with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, 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. Mark's I. Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and

fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains,

would have tested at roughly the same level.

汉译英:都市寸土千金,地价炒得越来越高。今后将更高。拥有一个小小花园的希望,对寻常之辈不啻是一种奢望,一种梦想。我想,其实谁都有一个小小花园,这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需要开发,人的内心世界也是需要开发的。人和动物的区别,除了众所周知的诸多方面,恐怕还在于人有内心世界。心不过是人的一个重要脏器,而内心世界是一种景观,它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损,以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。
