Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence(智力)developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough，the answer to these questions is yes．To some extent Our intelligence is given to US at birth，and no amount of education can make a genius (天才)out of a child born with low intelligence．On the other hand，a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surrounding (环境). Thus the limits of person’ s intelligence are fixed at birth，whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment．This view, now held by most experts，can be supposed in a number of ways．

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with．The closer the blood relationship between two people，the closer they are likely to be intelligent. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different．If, on the other hand，we take two identical twins，they will very likely to be as intelligent as each other．Relations like brothers and sisters，parents and children, usually have similar intelligence，and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth．

Imagine now that we take two identical (完全相同的)twins and put them in different environments. We might send one，for example，to a university and the other to a factory where the working is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing，and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part．This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence．

A．become a genius

　　Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence(智力) developed by our environment (环境) and our experience?

　　Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. Our intelligence is partly given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in an uninteresting environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and changing surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

　　It is easy to show that intelligence is to some degree something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the most closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical(孪生) twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this early suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

　　Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is tiring and uninteresting. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close connection with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.

(1)The writer is in favour of the view that man's intelligence is given to him ________.

[　　]

A．at birth

B．through education

C．both at birth and through education

D．neither at birth nor through education

(2)In the second paragraph,“if we take two unrelated people at random from the population…”means“if we ________”.

A．pick up any two persons

B．choose two persons who are relatives

C．take out two different persons

D．choose two persons with different intelligence
