(3)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 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

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 they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence
Question 39 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then natured
B They practice playing their instruments for many years C They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
