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 individualthe sort of environment in which he is brought up. If an individual has less chances environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never obtain the level of intelligence of which he is capable. The importance of environment in determining an individuals intelligence can be shown by the case history of the twins. When they were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate homes. Peter was brought up by parents of low intelligence in a separate munity with poor educational opportunities. Mark was brought up in the home of well-to-do opportunity to be encouraged intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Marks IQ was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his twin brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having similar brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.1. This passage can best be titled_. A. Measuring Your IntelligenceB.

But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in Englands rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgways school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older mans cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole arent the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didnt say, You are pletely crazy,” Saunders says.In xx, after being a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since bee the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and hes skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been pleted on skis.5.
