Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it issimply something person is born with. Others however, argue that the potential for greatachievement can be developed. The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes. It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase achild’s ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing andopportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have fast car, you need both good engine and fuel.”Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins thatwere separated shortly after birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievementwas based on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment. One case involving veryintelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received normal upbringing, and performed well. Theother twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possibleopportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligenceas the other, performed even better. This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability.The more favorable the environment, the more child’s intelligence and ability are developed.However, there is no link between intelligence and the socioeconomic level of child’s family. In otherwords, it does not matter how poor or how rich family is, as this does not affect intelligence. Giftedpeople cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor ofmusic said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinaryperformers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed atleast ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. Peoplewho want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:- Marry an intelligent person.- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents.- Start child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard.- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instruments is essential for achild who wants to become an outstanding musician.Question 45.

History books recorded that the first film with sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927. But soundfilms, or talkies, did not suddenly appear after years of silent screenings From the earliest publicperformances in 1896, films were accompanied by music and sound effects. These were produced by asingle pianist, small band, or full-scale orchestra; large movie theatres could buy sound-effectmachines. Research into sound that was reproduced at exactly at the same time as the pictures called"synchronized sound" began soon after the very first films were shown. With synchronized sound,characters on the movie screen could sing and speak. As early as 1896, the newly inventedgramophone, which played large disc carrying music and dialogue, was used as sound system. Thebiggest disadvantage was that the sound and pictures could become unsynchronized if, for example, thegramophone needle jumped or if the speed of the projector changed. This system was only effective fora single song or dialogue sequence .Doc24.vnIn the "sound-on-film" system, sound was recorded as series of marks on celluloid which could beread by an optical sensor. These signals would be placed on the film alongside the image, guaranteeingsynchronization. Short feature films were produced in this way as early as 1922. This systemeventually brought us "talking pictures".Question 55: The passage is mainly about the ______________.A. research into sound reproduction.
