Connie Talbot was born on November 20th, 2000. She is an English child singer from Streetly, West Midlands. She is best known for being on “Britain’s Got Talent”（《英國達人》）when she was just six. She has been singing since she was 19 months old. The song she is most known for is Somewhere over the Rainbow. And now she is touring the country with the UK’s biggest children’s choir—Young Voices.

Do you know what the Young Voices Tour is? Well, it’s a great event for children. It is great for them to sing on a big stage with thousands of other children. Everyone waits for the parents to arrive in the evening to watch the children put on a great show. There is so much fun. When the lights turn on, everyone sings together at the same time as one. It’s so loud and powerful(有力的). Connie loves looking around at the choir and seeing everyone so happy when she was performing.

“We’ve heard you got a new Guinness world record!” I asked her. “Yes! I am very proud. It was amazing to get the Guinness world record for the biggest choir at the back of a singer. I am glad to share that world record with more than 6000 other children present that day,” she answered.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence (智力) developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. In some degree, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no education can make a talent 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 who lives in rich environment. Therefore, the limits of person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This point of view, now is held by most experts.

It is easy to show that intelligence is something that we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be intelligence. If we take two strangers by chance from the population, it seems that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we compare two 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 twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory separately where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this shows that environment as well as birth plays an important role. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact (接觸) with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.

D. Neither at birth nor through education

【小題 3】According the passage, if a child is born with low intelligence, what might happen to him later?

A. Become a genius.

B. Still become a genius if he should be given special education.

C. Reach his intelligence limits in rich environment.

D. Never reach his intelligence in his life.

【小題 4】What can we learn from the example of the twins going to a university and to a factory?

A. The importance of their intelligence.

B. The role of environment on intelligence.

C. The importance of their jobs

D. The part that birth plays

【小題5 】What statement is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Personality is important as intelligence which was given to people at birth.
