IX 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.
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 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
71 The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires
A parental support and encouragement B an expensive education
C good musical instruments D wealthy and loving parents
72 When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
(6)D different twins generally have different levels of ability
73 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.
B Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured C They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
D They practice playing their instruments for many years
74 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 must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard D you should try to move quickly and efficiently
75 Scientists chose twins for their study because
A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence B each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
C they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
D they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities 76 When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid
A pushing their children too hard B permitting them to follow their own interests
C letting them play their own way D starting their education at an early age
77 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow
A their own interests B only their interests in musical instruments
C only their interests in computer games D their parent’s interests
78 The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other scientists B other children C other people D other geniuses
79 The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means A “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”
B “under the control or in the power of somebody else” C “of high quality or an acceptable standard”
D “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” 80 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT
A educational development depends completely on economic well-being B studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.
C a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents

IX 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.
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 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
71 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow
A only their interests in musical instruments B their parent’s interests
C their own interests D only their interests in computer games
72 The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires
A good musical instruments B wealthy and loving parents
C parental support and encouragement D an expensive education
73 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.
(13)D to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development 74 Scientists chose twins for their study because
A they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
B they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence C each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
D they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities 75 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development?
A They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
C Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured D They practice playing their instruments for many years
76 The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other geniuses B other scientists C other people D other children
77 When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid
A letting them play their own way B starting their education at an early age
C permitting them to follow their own interests D pushing their children too hard
78 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”
79 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 intelligence and you need to develop it B you should try to move quickly and efficiently C you need to have good health and good nourishment D you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard
80 When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A ability depends both on intelligence and on environment

IX 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.
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 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
71 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow
A their parent’s interests B only their interests in musical instruments
C only their interests in computer games D their own interests
72 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 intelligence and you need to develop it B you should try to move quickly and efficiently
C you must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard D you need to have good health and good nourishment
(34)B ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement C ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D different twins generally have different levels of ability
74 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development B educational development depends completely on economic well-being
C studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure. D a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents
75 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas.
B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
C They practice playing their instruments for many years D Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured 76 The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires

VIII 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.
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
(40)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
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
61 Scientists chose twins for their study because
A they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence B they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities C each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
D they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
62 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
63 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 interestsD their parent’s interests
64 When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid
A permitting them to follow their own interests B pushing their children too hard
C letting them play their own way D starting their education at an early age
65 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured
B They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. C They practice playing their instruments for many years D They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
66 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A educational development depends completely on economic well-being B a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents
C studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.
D to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development 67 The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other children B other people C other geniuses D other scientists
68 The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires
A parental support and encouragement B an expensive education
C wealthy and loving parents D good musical instruments
69 The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means A “under the control or in the power of somebody else”
(41)C “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” D “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful”
70 When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A ability depends both on intelligence and on environment
B intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C different twins generally have different levels of ability D ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement
IX Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct word for each of the blanks.
If you want to prepare yourself for great achievement and have more to (71) to your education or your work, try reading more books .(72) up some of the interestingly informative books and search for well-researched material that can help you grow
We should (73) our children to read more books and (74) less time watching TV Some people have commented that this is inconsistent "Why is the written word a superior way to get information than television?" That is (75) interesting point of view worth further (76) Reading is a skill that is in much greater demand than the demand for watching TV There are no jobs that (77) a person to be able to watch TV but reading is an integral part of many jobs The written word is an incredibly flexible and efficient way of communication You can write something down and, in no time, it can be (78) to many different people Not only that, we can (79) vast amounts of information through reading in a very short time A good reader can acquire more information in reading for two hours than someone watching TV can acquire in a full day You are able to gain a lot of information quickly because you are a fast reader with good (80) skills It will save you massive amounts of time and you will be able to assimilate vast quantities of information

IX 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.
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 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
71 The word “favorable” in the passage mostly means A “helping somebody to be more intelligent compared to other people” B “under the control or in the power of somebody else”
C “of high quality or an acceptable standard”
D “good for someone and making him/her likely to be successful” 72 The upbringing of highly intelligent children requires
A parental support and encouragement B wealthy and loving parents
(48)73 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT A studying different twins is a useful scientific procedure.
B educational development depends completely on economic well-being
C to become successful, a child needs both native intelligence and development D a child’s intelligence is influenced by that of his/ her parents
74 When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that A different twins generally have different levels of ability
B intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability C ability depends both on intelligence and on environment D ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement 75 Scientists chose twins for their study because
A each twin has the same environment as his/her twin
B they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence C they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities D they are born into the same family, hence the same upbringing
76 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 must nourish your brain and train your muscles hard D you should try to move quickly and efficiently
77 How were great musicians different from ordinary musicians in their development? A Their ability was realized at an early stage and then nurtured
B They were exceptionally intelligent and artistic
C They practice playing their instruments for many years D They concentrated on music to the exclusion of other areas. 78 The word “others” used in the first paragraph refers to
A other geniuses B other scientists C other children D other people
79 The writer advises that gifted children should be allowed to follow
A only their interests in computer games B their parent’s interests
C their own interestsD only their interests in musical instruments
80 When encouraging their gifted children, parents should avoid
A permitting them to follow their own interests B letting them play their own way
