31.
(A) reduce
(B) produce
(C) increase
(D) maximize

32. (A) few (B) many (C) much (D) little 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.

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. Jets and factories are also big noisemakers. You can pass any factory, and the **roar** of its machinery may deafen your ears. Noise pollution is the new side effect of our technological age. 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. We all demand silence from time to time, but silence is so hard to find. In the future, laws may have to be passed to protect silence.

41. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? (A) Every home has a stereo or television. (B) Factories produce a lot of noise. (C) Silence is not easy to find. (D) Jets are always very noisy.
