 Intelligence Quotient

I.Q. stands for “Intelligence Quotient” which is a measure of a person's intelligence found by means of an intelligence test. Before marks gained in such a test can be useful as information about a person, they must be compared with some standard, or norm(规范). It is not enough simply to know that a boy of thirteen has scored, say, ninety marks in a particular test. To know whether he is clever, average or dull, his marks must be compared with the average achieved by other boys of thirteen in that test.

In 1906 the psychologist, Alfred Binet (1857--1911), devised the standard by which intelligence has since been assessed.Binet was asked to find a method of selecting all children in the schools of Paris who should be taken out of ordinary classes and put in special classes for defectives. The problem brought home to him the need for a standard for measuring intelligence, and he hit upon the very simple concept of “mental age”.

First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them. He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child.For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence:" We are going to have a good time in the country ."Billet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual. If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard.It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of a norm merely by subtracting(减去) the “mental” age of a child from his “chronological” age. Then the boy in the example given would be 'three years retarded'(迟缓、耽误). Later the “mental ratio” was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age. Thus a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75.

The “mental age” measurement was then replaced by the more famous I.Q.(intelligence quotient)

    

1.To judge a child' s intelligence, his marks in a test must be compared with marks gained by _ _____________.

      A.others of the same age

B.children of different ages

      C.a number of children aged thirteen

      D.the same child at different ages

 2.The word “defective” refers to ________.

      A.average children                                      B.poor children 

C.children of low intelligence                      D.very intelligent children

 3.Binet used a large number of children in his tests because he wanted to find out________. 

      A.who were the most stupid                  B.the defectives

      C.what a bright child could do                D.a norm

 4.The purpose of I.Q. test is to find out ______________. 

      A.whether one has the intelligence of thirteen-year-old children 

      B.whether one is clever, average or dull

      C.whether one is mature enough for his age

      D.whether one is tall enough for his age

5.The I.Q. is___________________.

     A.the mental age divided by the chronological age and multiplied by a hundred

B.the mental age multiplied by the chronological age and divided by a hundred

     C.the chronological age divided by mental age and multiplied by a hundred

     D.the average age divided by the mental age and multiplied by a hundred.

 If your idea of a good time is to sleep in a hut, carry your own rubbish, and eat insects and wild animals, then ecotourism may be just for you. But is it also for people who want to fly over a rainforest sky before checking into a comfortable and expensive hotel in the middle of a national park? Whatever ecotourism is, it is hot--perhaps too hot for its own good.

The World Tourism Organization claims that the industry looked after 592 million travelers last year who spent $423 billion, and of all the types of tourism, ecotourism seems to be the fastest growing. By the broadest measure -- a trip with some sort of nature or wilderness element -- ecotourism already accounts for perhaps a third of these travelers. On a stricter definition favored by the Ecotourism Society, it is “responsible travel that preserves natural environments and keeps up the well-being of local people,” which accounts for no more than 5% of tourism.

Ideally, ecotourism helps both people and nature. Before the disastrous civil war, Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla Project was one such model. Visits to the gorillas were limited, local guides ensured good behavior or on the part of the humans, and the high admission charge - $170 a day -- paid for salaries and presentation of the gorillas’ living areas. As this made the gorillas worth more alive than dead, poaching (偷猎) decreased. As another example, preservation Cooperation, Africa’s largest ecotour operator, uses only local labor, buys products 5om local farmers, and supports building projects: such as clinics and schools. This contribution to social advance is also good business sense. Projects from which local people benefit directly are less likely to be affected by poaching and theft.

Ecotourism’s biggest problem is labeling. Going on an eco-tour is no guarantee of good ecology. So far, only Australia has an official system to grade tour operators and tourist attractions on the basis of their “greenness”. Another issue is how eco-tourists damage the environment. Dolphin-feeding, for instance, is innocent and enjoyable, but after too many free meals, the dolphins forget how to catch their own dinners.

Keeping prices high is one way to limit enthusiasm. But measuring the effect of ecotourism on human environments is trickier. It is common, for villagers to see ecotourism as a source of new income. Hence, the very tourists who venture in search of traditional cultures end up breaking them up. As ecotourism becomes more popular, it will finally threaten the very things that are good for business.

1.According to the passage, ecotourism may _________.

A. harm its own purpose by becoming too popular

B. save the environment by becoming more popular

C. harm its own purpose by becoming less popular

D. save the environment by becoming less popular

2.Within the tourism industry as a whole, ecotourism _____________.

A. has no single, clear definition that would satisfy everybody

B. has expanded less rapidly than other types of tourism

C. claims that no comfortable hotels should be used by tourists

D. most often has a negative effect on local culture

3.Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla Project is a good example because ___________.

A. tourists were free to visit the gorillas whenever they wanted to

B. local people’s attitudes toward animals were not affected

C. the gorillas were protected from both tourists and local people

D. the gorillas’ living area was modernized because of the high admission

4. _________ most directly benefits the local community.

A. Rwanda’s Mountain Gorilla Project            B. Preservation Corporation

C. Australia’s grading system                            D. Dolphin-feeding

  First of all, he invented a variety of tests and put large numbers of children of different ages through them.He then found at what age each test was passed by the average child.For instance, he found that the average child of seven could count backwards from 20 to 1 and the average child of three could repeat the sentence:“We are going to have a good time in the country.” Billet arranged the various tests in order of difficulty, and used them as a scale against which he could measure every individual.If, for example, a boy aged twelve could only do tests that were passed by the average boy of nine, Binet held that he was three years below average, and that he had a mental age of nine.

  The concept of mental age provided Binet, and through him, other psychologists, with the required standard.It enabled him to state scores in intelligence tests in terms of a norm merely by subtracting(减去)the “mental” age of a child from his “chronological” age(实际年龄).Then the boy in the example given would be “three years retarded”(迟缓、耽误).Later the “mental ratio” was introduced; that is to say, the ratio of the mental age to the chronological age.Thus a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has a mental ratio of 0.75.

  The “mental age” measurement was then replaced by the more famous I.Q(intelligence quotient).The “I.Q.” is the mental ratio multiplied by 100.For example, a boy of twelve with a mental age of nine has an “I.Q.” of 75.Clearly, since the mental age of the average child is equal to the chronological age, the average “I.Q.” is 100.

     The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with
this problem, it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget be used for health
education and disease prevention instead of treatment. Actually, many kinds of diseases are preventable
in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it. For example, people
could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold. But many
people get sick because they fail to do so, and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
     Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming
bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention. For instance, keeping a balanced diet,
such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits, seems
to be quite important.
     One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, and playing sports is a good way to make
people feel better or reduce stress.
     In addition, health education plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more
information about health, countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention
and ways to achieve it. For example, knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help
keep healthy. Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what
they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes, which will work before it is too
late.
      However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all,
prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect. In conclusion, we could
save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on
health prevention and education.
1. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Prevention or Education?
B. Prevention or Treatment?
C. Health or Illness?
D. Exercise or Illness?
2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "bankrupt"?
A. Unable to be cured
B. Unable to pay one's debts
C. Stronger than ever before
D. More successful than ever before
3. We learn from the passage that ______.
A. dressing warmly can prevent diseases
B. a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
C. the more health education, the better
D. the government's health budget should be increased
