<b>IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to</b>


<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b>


Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.


One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,
and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not


matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.


<b>71. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires </b>


<b>A. parental support and encouragement</b> <b>B. an expensive education </b>


<b>C. good musical instruments </b> <b>D. wealthy and loving parents</b>


<b>72. When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that </b>
<b>A. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement </b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(6)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=6>

<b>D. different twins generally have different levels of ability. </b>


<b>73. How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? </b>
<b>A. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.</b>



<b>B. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured. </b>
<b>C. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. </b>


<b>D. They practice playing their instruments for many years. </b>


<b>74. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means</b>
that in order to become a genius .


<b>A. you need to have good health and good nourishment</b>
<b>B. you need intelligence and you need to develop it </b>


<b>C. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard </b>
<b>D. you should try to move quickly and efficiently</b>


<b>75. Scientists chose twins for their study because </b>


<b>A. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence </b>
<b>B. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin </b>


<b>C. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing </b>


<b>D. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities </b>
<b>76. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid </b> .


<b>A. pushing their children too hard</b> <b>B. permitting them to follow their own interests</b>


<b>C. letting them play their own way </b> <b>D. starting their education at an early age </b>


<b>77. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow </b> .



<b>A. their own interests</b> <b>B. only their interests in musical instruments</b>


<b>C. only their interests in computer games</b> <b>D. their parent’s interests</b>


<b>78. The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to . </b>


<b>A. other scientists</b> <b>B. other children</b> <b>C. other people</b> <b>D. other geniuses </b>


<b>79. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means </b> .
<b>A. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>


<b>B. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”</b>
<b>C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” </b>


<b>D. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” </b>
<b>80. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT </b>


<b>A. educational development depends completely on economic well-being. </b>
<b> B. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.</b>


<b>C. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents. </b>

<b>IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to</b>


<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b>


Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.


One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,
and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents


and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.


<b>71. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow </b> .


<b>A. only their interests in musical instruments</b> <b>B. their parent’s interests</b>


<b>C. their own interests</b> <b>D. only their interests in computer games</b>


<b>72. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires </b>



<b>A. good musical instruments </b> <b>B. wealthy and loving parents</b>


<b>C. parental support and encouragement</b> <b>D. an expensive education </b>


<b>73. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT </b>
<b> A. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.</b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(13)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=13>

<b>D. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development. </b>
<b>74. Scientists chose twins for their study because </b>


<b>A. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing </b>


<b>B. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence </b>
<b>C. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin </b>


<b>D. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities </b>
<b>75. How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? </b>


<b>A. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.</b>
<b>B. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. </b>


<b>C. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured. </b>
<b>D. They practice playing their instruments for many years. </b>


<b>76. The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to . </b>


<b>A. other geniuses </b> <b>B. other scientists</b> <b>C. other people</b> <b>D. other children</b>


<b>77. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid </b> .



<b>A. letting them play their own way </b> <b>B. starting their education at an early age </b>


<b>C. permitting them to follow their own interests</b> <b>D. pushing their children too hard</b>


<b>78. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means </b> .
<b>A. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” </b>
<b>B. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” </b>


<b>C. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>
<b>D. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”</b>


<b>79. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means</b>
that in order to become a genius .


<b>A. you need intelligence and you need to develop it </b>
<b>B. you should try to move quickly and efficiently</b>
<b>C. you need to have good health and good nourishment</b>
<b>D. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard </b>


<b>80. When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that </b>
<b>A. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment</b>

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.


One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,


and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.


<b>71. How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? </b>
<b>A. They practice playing their instruments for many years. </b>


<b>B. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured. </b>
<b>C. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.</b>
<b>D. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. </b>



<b>72. Scientists chose twins for their study because </b>
<b>A. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin </b>


<b>B. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing </b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(20)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=20>

<b>D. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence </b>
<b>73. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid </b> .


<b>A. pushing their children too hard</b> <b>B. letting them play their own way </b>


<b>C. starting their education at an early age </b> <b>D. permitting them to follow their own interests</b>


<b>74. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means</b>
that in order to become a genius .


<b>A. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard </b>
<b>B. you should try to move quickly and efficiently</b>


<b>C. you need intelligence and you need to develop it </b>
<b>D. you need to have good health and good nourishment</b>


<b>75. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow </b> .


<b>A. only their interests in computer games</b> <b>B. their own interests</b>


<b>C. only their interests in musical instruments</b> <b>D. their parent’s interests</b>


<b>76. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means </b> .
<b>A. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>



<b>B. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”</b>


<b>C. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” </b>
<b>D. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” </b>


<b>77. The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to . </b>


<b>A. other people</b> <b>B. other scientists</b> <b>C. other geniuses </b> <b>D. other children</b>


<b>78. When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that </b>
<b>A. different twins generally have different levels of ability. </b>


<b>B. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment</b>
<b>C. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement </b>
<b>D. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability </b>


<b>79. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires </b>


<b>A. good musical instruments </b> <b>B. an expensive education </b>


<b>C. wealthy and loving parents</b> <b>D. parental support and encouragement</b>


<b>80. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT </b>
<b>A. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents. </b>


<b>B. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development. </b>
<b>C. educational development depends completely on economic well-being. </b>

<b>IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to</b>


<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b>


Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”



Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.


One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,
and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.



<b>71. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow </b> .


<b>A. their parent’s interests</b> <b>B. only their interests in musical instruments</b>


<b>C. only their interests in computer games</b> <b>D. their own interests</b>


<b>72. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means</b>
that in order to become a genius .


<b>A. you need intelligence and you need to develop it </b>
<b>B. you should try to move quickly and efficiently</b>


<b>C. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard </b>
<b>D. you need to have good health and good nourishment</b>


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(34)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=34>

<b>B. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement </b>
<b>C. ability depends both on intelligence and on environment</b>
<b>D. different twins generally have different levels of ability. </b>


<b>74. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT </b>
<b>A. to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development. </b>
<b>B. educational development depends completely on economic well-being. </b>


<b> C. studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.</b>
<b>D. a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents. </b>


<b>75. How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? </b>
<b>A. They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.</b>


<b>B. They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic. </b>



<b>C. They practice playing their instruments for many years. </b>
<b>D. Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured. </b>
<b>76. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires </b>


<b>A. an expensive education </b> <b>B. wealthy and loving parents</b>


<b>C. parental support and encouragement</b> <b>D. good musical instruments </b>


<b>77. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means </b> .
<b>A. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” </b>
<b>B. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>
<b>C. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”</b>


<b>D. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” </b>


<b>78. The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to . </b>


<b>A. other scientists</b> <b>B. other people</b> <b>C. other children</b> <b>D. other geniuses </b>


<b>79. When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid </b> .


<b>A. pushing their children too hard</b> <b>B. starting their education at an early age </b>


<b>C. permitting them to follow their own interests</b> <b>D. letting them play their own way </b>


<b>80. Scientists chose twins for their study because </b>


<b>A. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing </b>
<b>B. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin </b>

introductory disks at places like train stations. As the Internet gets faster AOL is changing. With many

Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical
twins that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(40)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=40>

and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One


professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.

<b>B. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities </b>
<b>C. each twin has the same environment as his/her twin </b>


<b>D. they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing </b>


<b>62. The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage means</b>
that in order to become a genius .


<b>A. you need to have good health and good nourishment</b>
<b>B. you need intelligence and you need to develop it </b>
<b>C. you should try to move quickly and efficiently</b>


<b>D. you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard </b>



<b>63. The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow </b> .


<b>A. only their interests in computer games</b> <b>B. only their interests in musical instruments</b>

<b>A. other children</b> <b>B. other people</b> <b>C. other geniuses </b> <b>D. other scientists</b>



<b>68. The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires </b>

<b>C. “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” </b>
<b>D. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>

<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b>


Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a
child’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing
and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.



One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,
and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.


This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.


<b>71. The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means </b> .

<b>B. “under the control or in the power of somebody else”</b>


<b>C. “of high quality or an acceptable standard” </b>



<b>D. “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”</b>

<b>indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.</b>


Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the
ability to do outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is
simply something a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great
achievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.


</div>
<span class='text_page_counter'>(53)</span><div class='page_container' data-page=53>

and opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and
fuel.”


Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins
that were separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that
achievement was based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.


One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing,
and performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents
and given every possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the
same degree of intelligence as the other, performed even better.



This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the
environment, the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link
between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not
matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this does not affect intelligence.


Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One
professor of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than
ordinary performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then
needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of
attaining.


People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:
 Marry an intelligent person.


 Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.
 Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.


 Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for a
child who wants to become an outstanding musician.
