26、Amy was a lovely little girl, but she was always wasting time getting prepared instead of doing them at once.

In the village, Mr. Thornton kept a store where he sold fruits of all kinds, including berries (莓子) when in season. One morning he said to Amy, “Well, Amy, some blackberries on Mr. Green’s farm are ripe (成熟的) and fine today. He said that anybody was welcome to pick them. I will pay you 13 cents a kilogram for all you pick for me.”

Amy was excited about the thought of making some money to help her mom, so she quickly ran home to get a basket to hold the berries. Then she thought she would like to know how much money she would get if she picked five kilograms. After finding out that she would get 65 cents, she started to dream big, “If I pick ten kilograms, how much should I make then?”

“Dear me,” she shouted in excitement, “I should make 1 dollar and 30 cents!”

It took her some time to dream bigger, and then it was so near lunchtime that she had to stay at home until the afternoon.

As soon as lunch was over, she took her basket and hurried to the farm. Some boys had been there before lunch, and all the ripe blackberries were picked. She could not find half a kilogram to fill her basket. Then she thought of what her teacher often told her: “Do your task at once; then think about it. One doer is worth 100 dreamers.”

27、Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a genius (天才) out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in a rich environment. Therefore, the limits（限度) of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view is now held by most experts.

It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer their intelligence is likely to be. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relatives like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.

Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important part. This result is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

【1】How is man’s intelligence given?

A．At birth

B．Through education

C．Both at birth and through education

D．Neither at birth nor through education

【2】What does the underlined word mean in the first paragraph?

A．稳固 B．确定 C．修理 D．安排

【3】According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?

A．Become a genius.

B．Still become a genius if he should be given special education.

C．Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.

D．Never reach his intelligence in his life.

【4】What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?

A．The importance of their intelligence.

B．The role of environment on intelligence.

C．The importance of their jobs

D．The part that birth plays

29、Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily, they do not always have the best _______. So, instead of traveling alone, people should consider group tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to enjoy themselves.

First, group tours plan travellers’ routes, so people don’t have to _______ where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just _______ and enjoy their trip. For example, my family once took a group tour to Thailand. The travel agency _______ everything for us. We just looked at the schedule that the travel agency had _______ and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency, we had a pleasant trip. This made things easier for my father since he didn’t have to worry about where we would go next and stay at night.

Another _______ of group tours is that they allow people to communicate with one another while travelling. Travellers are able to develop friendships with people they would never have met because they are travelling together for a number of days. As I know, my parents visited Singapore on a group tour for their honeymoon. They met another _______ on that trip, and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years they still travel together from time to time. If my parents had travelled by themselves, it would have been _______ for them to get to know this couple.

In short, there is _______ better than a group tour when travelling. Group tours schedule everything on the trip, and they give us the chance to meet others and make friends with them. Therefore, group tours are the ________ way to travel when taking a trip.
