So the second factor is what 65 to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is brought 66 . If an individual is handicapped (受阻礙) 67 , it is likely that his brain will 68 to develop and he will 69 attain the level of intelligence of which he is 70 .
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be 71 by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and John. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they are placed in 72 foster (寄養) homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an 73 community with poor educational 74 . John, 75 , was educated in the home of well-to-do parents who has been to college. This environmental 76 continued until the twins were 77 their late teens, 78 they were given tests to 79 their intelligence. John’s I.Q. (智商) was 125, twenty-five points higher than the 80 and fully forty points higher than his identical brother.

筷子(chopsticks)是中國傳統的獨具特色的進食工具(diningutensils)，至今已有數千年的歷史。筷子在古代被稱為“箸”，大約從明朝開始才有了“筷子”的稱呼。筷子多為竹子制成，也有用木頭、象牙(ivory)、金屬或其他材料制作而成。它要么上方下圓，要么上下全圓而上粗下細。不管其形狀如何，筷子必須是成對使用的，并且兩只筷子的大小長短要相同。筷子是中國人日常生活的必備工具，它的發明充分反映了中國人民的智慧。
