For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (培养) decides what people will be like. Is it nature―what people are 1 with―that decides what they will be like? 2 is it nurture―what 3 to people when they are born―that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to 4 if they can find the answer,because twins start out with the 5 DNA. Sometimes twins don't live together at birth and grow up in different 6 and different places―so the nature is the same for both,but the nurture is different.
When scientists 7 these twins in their later life,they some times find some surprising 8 .
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted (收养) by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirtynine years 9 and discovered they had a lot in 10 Both had been 11 twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty ！
Each twin had a son―one called his son James Alan and the 12 called his son James Alan,too. Their children each had a dog called "Toy". They even arrived at their first 13 in the same color of car.
So far twin 14 seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth,and how and where we live help to build 15 we are.

As you can imagine,things are really different 10 the way they are at home. For example,you are not supposed to eat 11 with your hands except bread,not even fruit. 12 thing is that it is very rude to say you are full.

I have to say,I find 14 difficult to remember everything,but I am gradually getting used to things.

多义词的转义现象
英语中一词多义是常见现象，很多词的多种词义之间有一定联系。例如age—词的词义有“年龄、寿命、时代、阶段”等，这些词义相互之间有联系，即都有“时间”的概念。但还有一些词的词义之间完全没有联系，我们可以称其为转义词，或视为两个词义不同的同形异义词。例如agree—词在“I agree with you.”中是“同意”的意思，而在“This kind of I food doesn’t agree with him. ”一句中则是“适合”的意思，与前一句的词义差别很大。我们学过的词中有很多这样的词，应在学习中引起注意。下列每组两个句子画线词的词义差别很大，你能写出它们各自的词义吗？
1.(l) He came at a time when we needed help.
(2) She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them.
2.(1) What size of shoes do you wear?
(2) Jack likes to wear his hair long.
3.(l) Can you stand on the top of the wall?
(2) 1 can’t stand such cold weather.
4.(l) Let，s save the endangered animals.
(2) 1 want to save more money.
