19、own. I saw the love between Ernie and his children, thinking that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.I hadnt heard Ernie talk much about his father.

25、o purposefully make a bad situation worse.Early humans got the salt they needed to stay alive from the animals they killed. But advances in agriculture led to a diet low in salt. So, humans needed to find other sources. Those who lived near the ocean or other natural sources for salt were lucky. Tho

26、se who did not had to trade for salt. In fact, people used salt as a method of payment in many parts of the ancient world. The word “salary” comes from the word “salt”. Salt also played an important part in population movement and world exploration. Explorers understood that if they could keep food

27、fresh, they could travel longer distances. So they used salt to preserve food and explored the world.Salt was so important that, according to food historians, it was traded pound-for- pound for gold. Today, people still use the expressions “to be worth ones salt” or “worth ones weight in salt”. The

28、expressions describe a person of value. A person might also be called “salt of the earth”. That description means he or she is dependable and trustworthy.

New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging

33、careers. The study challenges the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18. Scientific consensus (共识) suggests that intelligence is controlled by genes, with environmental factors (因素) such as schooling and nutrition playing a part to this age. After this point, IQ scor

34、es become steady. But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can “upgrade” their own intelligence throughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation (刺激) from other people is important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle the more you

35、 use it, the stronger it gets”. However, the opposite is also true so people sharing a home or workplace with those who are fatheaded risk seeing their IQ levels fall as a result.Flynn analyzed US intelligence tests from the last 65 years and found a bright person with brothers and sisters of averag

36、e intelligence will suffer a five to ten point IQ disadvantage, compared to a similar person with equally bright brothers and sisters.

37、essor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80 percent of intelligence, the remaining 20 percent is linked to lifestyle.

42、e colorful programs. Books are history!” But dont be fooled. 36 To gain more words and expressionsOne clear reason is that a well-chosen book is a wonderful collection of words and expressions, so long as you have a good dictionary, of course. 37 38 An even more important point is that books give yo

43、u something that modern media simply cannot: The webpage is always full of pictures and the text is - 9 -often designed to make it as easy to read as possible. Though “easy” may be welcome, unluckily its of little use for any long-time development of reading skills and the general language level. 39
