Intelligence-Nature or Nurture?
Nowadays, there is no agreement among people concerning intelligence. Some people contend that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. And the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence.
However, others maintain that environment plays a crucial role in our intelligence. For instance, if we put two identical twins in different environments, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the job is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later.
Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sure way to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.
智力——先天还是后天?
现如今,人们关于智力的说法还没有达成一致。有些人坚信智力在某种程度上是天生的。两个人之间血缘关系越近,智力水平也就越相近。
然而,其他门认为环境对我们的智力发展起着至关重要的作用。例如,如果我们把一对双胞胎分别放在不同的环境里,送其中一个可能会上大学,送另一个则去工厂里做一份无聊的工作,几年后我们就可能会发现他们智力上的差距。
正如每一枚硬币都有两面,我们的智力也是部分天生部分被培养的。发展智力最可能的办法就是拥有一对智力均常的父母和一个适合智力发展的环境。
