24、between the Chinese and Cuban womens teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling.

25、 were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese women won the game by their cooperation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. A Chinese saying goes, “Wh

26、en two competent opponents (比赛的双方) meet, the strong-minded one will win. ” This is the spirit of the Chinese Womens Volleyball Team.

31、d another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a le

32、g or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligen

33、t. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a foo

34、l or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.

38、under discussion.D. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.DBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine (常规) of study. Ma

39、ny students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to change i

40、t frequently, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others.
