If silence is indeed golden, it is also becoming as rare as gold. In almost every home a stereo or television will fill the rooms with sound. Music is played in almost every supermarket, restaurant, and post office. Between sunrise and sunset, motorcycles, cars, buses, and trucks are constant sources of noise.

Noise can hurt our hearing. People's hearing may be lost if they work for a long time in noisy factories. Also, a study indicates that most disc jockeys in dance clubs have lost part of their hearing. Silence has a soothing effect for people. That is, silence can help people feel calm or relaxed. If you feel anxious, you had better stay away from noisy areas.

A famous painter was worried about his dog, which happened to have a sore throat. He knew that a doctor would not examine a dog, so he decided to pretend that he himself was the one who was sick. In spite of the fact that it was midnight, he made a phone call to a famous throat specialist and asked the doctor to rush to his home right away.

The doctor was very angry, but he tried hard to control himself and said, “I only see patients during the day and by appointment.” On hearing this, the painter replied, “But...but, Doctor, I’m the famous portrait painter, Raphael DePicter, and this is an emergency.” As the painter was indeed a well-known artist, the doctor finally agreed to visit the patient.

When the doctor arrived at the artist’s home and saw that his patient was a dog, he was raged, but immediately he thought of a plan to get even. Hiding his anger, he said calmly, “I’m afraid this is a very difficult case. I’ll have to go back to study the case more carefully. I’ll call you when I find out exactly what’s wrong with your dog.” Then he left.

About the same time the following night, Mr. DePicter was awakened by a phone call. It was the throat specialist and he asked Mr. DePicter to go immediately to his house. Mr. DePicter said, “But, Doctor, it’s past twelve. I have an appointment to paint the portrait of a very important person. Can’t you wait until tomorrow afternoon?” But the doctor insisted, saying: “That would be too late. Please hurry.” Thinking it was about his dog’s illness, the painter jumped out of bed, got dressed, and ran to the doctor’s house.

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? 33 enough, the answer to both of these questions is yes. To some extent, our intelligence is given to us at birth, and there is little we can do to make a 34 out of a child born with low intelligence. Studies have shown that the closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are 35 to be in intelligence. This explains why identical twins have similar intelligence. It also strongly indicates that intelligence depends partly on birth.

36 , a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his or her intelligence 37 than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Supposing that we take two identical twins and put them in 38 environments, we might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence 39 , and the differences will widen as time goes by. It is clear then that the limits of a person's intelligence are 40 at birth but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment.
