18、ce. Around 1870,it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom,and the capital,Buenos Aires,attracted many people. Farmers,as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy,came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs. These jobs didnt pay well,and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in t
19、he city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city,the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes. It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time there were many fewer women than men,so if a man didnt want
20、 to be left out,his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women. Gradually,the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.In Europe at this time,strong interest in dance from around the world
21、was beginning. This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞)to belly(腹部) dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters. After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe,they began to draw the interest of the public as they
22、 performed their exciting dance in cafs.

26、e views of your partner, friend, brother, sister or colleagues, remember they could be helping to make you smarter. New research shows that intelligence is not fixed but can be improved throughout adulthood by family members, bright mates and intellectually challenging careers. The study challenges
27、the commonly held belief that intelligence is fixed by the age of about 18. Scientific consensus (共识) suggests intelligence is controlled by genes(基因), with environmental factors(因素)such as schooling and nutrition playing a part up to this age. After this point, IQ scores become steady. But James Fl
28、ynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand, argues that people can upgradetheir 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 use it, the stronger it gets”. Howe
29、ver, the opposite is also true-so people who share a home or workplace with the intellectually challenged risk seeing their IQ levels nosedive as a result.Professor Flynn analysed Us intelligence tests from the last 65 years and created new IQ “age tables”. He found a bright ten- year-old with broth

However, children with a low IQ could gain six to eight points by having brighter brothers and sisters and special educational treatment to he
31、lp pull them up. Professor Flynn concluded that although genetics and early life experiences determine about 80% of intelligence, the remaining 20% is linked to lifestyle. This means people can raise their IQ, or allow it to fall, by ten points or more. He suggests the best way to improve IQ levels
32、is to socialize with bright friends, and find an intellectually challenging job. 32. According to the text, it is commonly believed that _.A. peoples IQ levels fall as the ageB. it is wise to share family members viewsC. people cannot improve their intelligence during adulthoodD. doing something cha

For anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the persons face?” If the answer is n
36、o, rewrite and reread. 37If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fight back in the same way. But try not to do so. 38 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to discuss it politely. Remember to respect the opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Give
37、advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think
38、 twice before saying anything.
