VIII/ ( ID: 85300 ) Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions from 56 to 65

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

develop 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 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 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 the intelligence

Gifted people can not 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 instrument is essential for a child who wants to become an outstanding musician

Question 56: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that

A different twins generally have different levels of ability

B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement

C intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability

D ability depends both on intelligence and environment

Question 57: Scientists chose twins for their study because

A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence

B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing

C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities

D each twin has the same environment as his/ her twin

Question 58: How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?

A They practice playing their instruments for many years

B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic

C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas

D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured

Question 59: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow

A only their interests in computer games B only their interests in musical instruments

C their own interests D their parents’ interests

Question 60: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid

A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age

C pushing their children too hard D permitting them to follow their own interests

Question 61: The remark: “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” in the passage

means that in order to become a genius,

A you need to have good health and good nourishment

B you need intelligence and you need to develop it

C you should try to move quickly and efficiently
