the questions from 11 to 20 Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to 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 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 24 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 Question 11: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that _ A ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement B intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C different twins generally have different levels of ability D ability depends both on intelligence and on environment Question 12: The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to A other people B other scientists C other children D other geniuses Question 13: Scientists chose twins for their study because A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin B they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing C they have

A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nutured B They practised playing their instruments for many years C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic Question 15: The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow _ A their parent’s interests C only their interests in musical instruments B their own interests D only their interests in computer games Question 16: When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid _ A pushing their children too hard C permitting them to follow their own interests B letting them play their own way D starting their education at an early age 25 Question 17: 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 D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard Question 18: The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means A “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” B “of high quality or an acceptable standard” C “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful” D “under the control or in the power of somebody else” Question 19: The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires _ A an expensive education C good musical instruments B parental support and encouragement D wealthy and loving parents Question 20: All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _ A studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure B a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents C to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development D educational development depends completely on economic well-being 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 questions from 21 to 30 Million of people are using cell phones today In many places,it is actually considered unusual not to use one In many countries,cell phones are very popular with young people They find that the phones are more than a means of communication – having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected The explosion in mobile phone used around the world has made some health professionals worried Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health On other hand, medical studies have shown changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning equipment In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at young age because of serious memory loss He couldn’t remember even simple tasks He would often forget the name of his own son This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week , for a couple of years His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful?
