Two businessmen were invited to dinner at the home of a college professor. One of the men did not have much education and was worried that he might make, a fool of himself, but his friend said, "Don’t worry. Just do what I do, and don’t talk about anything that you don’t really understand.
The first man managed to get through the dinner successfully, but by the end of the evening he had had a lot to drink, and began to get careless.
A guest asked him whether he liked Shakespeare, and he answered confidently, "It’s very pleasant, but I prefer Caco Cola." There was an uncomfortable silence in the room, and soon people began to leave.
When the two friends were out of the house, the second man said to his friend, "You certainly made a fool of yourself making that silly remark about Caeo Cola."
"What do you mean" asked the other man. "What was wrong with it"

There are two factors which determine an individual’s intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared. If an individual is handicapped environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.
The importance of environment in determining an individual’s intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate fos
A. Human brains differ from person to person.

C. Environment is crucial in fostering a person’s intelligence.

The Olympic Games were first held at Olympia in ancient Greece as ling ago as 776 B. C. They were held once every four years. The custom lasted for more than 1,000 years, but died out under the rulers of Rome and ceased with the decline of ancient Greek civilization. Then in 1896 the Games were revived. In that year, a Frenchman, Baron de Coubertin, decided to try to start the Games again. He wished to renew those ideals of excellence of body, mind and spirit shown in the classic Greek Olympics. He succeeded, and the modern Olympic Games began in Athens, Greece, in 1896. Since then the Olympics have grown steadily with more and more nations and athletes taking part. Because of the World Wars, they were not held in 1916, nor in 1940 and 1944. They have been regularly held ever since then.
