Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents s
9、aid, Youre nervous and thats okay. Everyone is afraid of high school. I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldnt figure
10、out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didnt think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably rightDespite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule fi
11、gured out. With the exception of falling down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.Since then, Ive been elected vice monitor of my class, which wasnt much of a victo
12、ry since only three people ran for the four positions.It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because youll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isnt straight As.Most important of
13、 all, be who you are, whether youre a fool, an athlete, or a lower grader. Dont try to pretend to be someone youre not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.4.

16、he secret of the authors success lies mainly in_.A.making more friends B.getting more As at schoolC.being who he really is D.joining in out-of-class activitiesCAre some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough,
17、the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius 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
18、 who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to so
19、me extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random (随机地) from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on
20、the other hand we take two identical (完全相同的) twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations 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 identical
21、twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also sug
22、gested 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 degrees of intelligence.8. Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Para. 1?A.To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B.Intelligence is deve
