Intelligence used to be seen as a fixed entity, some faculty of the mind that we all possess and which determines in some ways the extent of our achievements. Since the Intelligence Quotient was relatively unaffected by bad teaching or a dull home environment, it remained constant. Its value, therefore, was a predictor of children’s future learning. If they differed markedly in their ability to learn complex tasks, then it was clearly necessary to educate them differently—and the need for different types of school and even different ability groups within schools was obvious. Today, we are beginning to think differently. In the last few years, re search has thrown doubt on the view that innate intelligence can ever be measured and on the very nature of intelligence itself. Perhaps most important, there is considerable evidence now which shows the great influence of the environment both on achievement and intelligence. Children with poor home backgrounds not only do less well in their school work and in intelligence tests—a fact which could be explained on genetic grounds—but their performance tends to deteriorate gradually compared with that of their more fortunate classmates. Evidence like this lends support to the view that we have to distinguish between genetic intelligence and observed intelligence. Any deficiency in the appropriate genes will obviously restrict development, no matter how stimulating the environment. But we cannot observe or measure innate intelligence; whereas we can observe and measure the effects of the interaction of whatever is inherited with whatever stimulation has been received from the environment. Changes may occur in our observations or measurements, if the environment is changed. In other words, the Intelligence Quotient is not constant. Researches over the past decade have been investigating what happens in this interaction. Work in this country has shown that parental interest and encouragement are more important than the material circumstances of the home. Two major findings have emerged from these studies. Firstly, that the greater part of the development of observed intelligence occurs in the earliest years of life. 50 percent of measurable intelligence at age 17 is already predictable by the age of four. In other words, deprivation in the first four or five years of life can have greater consequences than any of the following twelve or so years. Secondly, the most important factors in the environment are language and psychological aspects of the parent-child relationship. Much of the difference in measured intelligence between "privileged" and "disadvantaged" children may be due to the latter’s lack of appropriate verbal stimulation and the poverty of their perceptional experiences. These research findings have led to a revision in our understanding of the nature of intelligence. Instead of it being some largely inherited fixed power of the mind, we now sec it as a set of developed skills with which a person copes with any environment. These skills have to be learned and, indeed, the fundamental one is learning how to learn. Intelligence is now believed to be ______.

A. a set of developed skills
B. incapable of any kind of measurement
C. closely related to a child’s actual learning experiences
D. Both A and C

Obesity is defined as body weight of 15 percent or more above the ideal for one’s height and age. (62) this criterion, about one third of the adult population of the United States is obese. The (63) of obesity vary in different races, cultures, sub-cultures, and social classes. In industrialized countries, fatness tends to be (64) correlated with socioeconomic status: people in lower social classes tend to be more obese. In economically backward nations, the direction of the correlation is reversed; the richer, the fatter. The situation in the underdeveloped world probably approximates the (65) of affairs through most of human evolution. Particularly for women, (66) pregnancies could (67) into times of scarcity, larger internal food (68) were adapted in the face of variable external reserves. A. With B. In C. By D. Through

Although obesity may sound like a (n) (69) phenomenon, it is to some degree (70) relative. A study of black and white undergraduates yielded (71) results. Even though blacks, and especially black females, were heavier than whites, they were more satisfied with their weight and less likely to find weight in other people (72) Men were more concerned (73) the weight of their dates than women were, but black men were (74) likely to refuse to date a woman because of her weight.
B. Contemporary North American culture is (75) with thinness, particularly for women. Compared to the Rubenesque view of beauty of just a few centuries ago, the prototypes of feminine beauty (76) in the mass media today look emaciated, that is, extremely thin. The standards have even changed (77) since the 1950s, when the prototype was replete with large breasts and slightly protruding abdomen. A study of Playboy centerfolds found a ten percent decrease in the ratio of weight to height from the late 1950s to the late 1970s, (78) by a dramatic increase in the number of articles on dieting in popular women’s magazines. In (79) to contemporary Western societies, some other cultures (80) beauty with bulk. This most often occurs in societies in which food is scarce, (81) women who are healthy and have more resources tend to be heavier and hence are seen as more attractive.
