The topic of “hard work vs talent” has been researched by many scientists and even they do not have the only right conclusion. Ericsso
17、n, Krampe, and Tech-Romer have pointed out that talent is irrelevant in distant 1993 yet. They connected success with a deliberate practice that lasts for over 10 thousand hours. Moreover, it must be goal-oriented, intensive and thoughtful for better results. However, recent studies support another
18、viewpoint. Both Malcolm Gladwell (2008) and David Brooks (2011) agree that there is no guarantee that a person with a higher IQ level will be more successful in life. At the same time, talent means nothing without hard work and this thought was formulated (阐述) by Stephen King several dozen years ago
19、. Why is talent important? It goes without saying that there are no equal people in the world. Even siblings (兄弟姐妹) may look absolutely the same but be different in character and preferences. That means that their inborn talents are various as well. For example, if you gather 10 children in one clas
20、sroom and teach them the same information using a single approach, the results of this studying will be very different. Not only talent will play a significant role in that but also attention, desire, and even upbringing (家庭教育). Of course, it has been confirmed that intelligence is inherited but upb
21、ringing is not less important. Some parents work with their kids from the first day of pregnancy and these children will show better results than ones left on their own. If you wish to become best of the best like an Olympic Games champion, talent appears to be a necessity here. But if you desire to
22、 get promotion and win the competition among young colleagues, hard work and desire are your keys to success even if you are not lucky to have been born talented.4.

23、 Brooks idea?A. Talent is of no use without effort.B. Talent is useless without a desire for success.C. People should attach more importance to effort.D. Smart people are not necessarily more successful.6. What does the author want to express by mentioning parents and children?A. Upbringing is as im
24、portant as talent.B. Talent is more significant than desire.C. Children with a good upbringing perform better.D. Children from the same family have different IQ levels.7. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Talent can make a world champion.B. Talent is the decisive factor in success.C. Es
25、sential factors for success vary with goals.D. Hard work is enough for promotion in the workplace.CHousehold chores might seem a drag, but researchers have suggested tasks like dusting, scrubbing floors and washing the windows might help adults to stay healthy into old age. Writing in the journal BM
26、J Open, a Singapore-based team of researchers said regular physical activity “improves physical and mental health, mitigates the risks and effects of chronic diseases, and reduces falls, immobility, dependency and mortality among older adults”. The team randomly recruited adults from the town of Yis
27、hun in Singapore, and asked them to complete cognitive function tests as well as activities to assess their physical capabilities, such as standing up from a chair as quickly as they could.

28、such as dusting) and heavy housework (such as floor-scrubbing) they did, and were assessed for their risk of having a fall based on measures such as knee extension strength.

29、f heavy or light housework were women. After taking into account factors including age, sex, and the amount of light housework undertaken, the team found cognitive scores and attention scores were 8% and 14% higher respectively for older adults doing high amounts of heavy housework on average 131 mi
30、nutes a week compared with low levels, which appeared to amount to none at all. Sit-to-stand times were lower for older adults reporting high amounts of heavy housework compared with low amounts, while they were also assessed as being at lower risk of having a fall. The team also found cognitive sco
31、res were 5% higher for older adults who reported high levels of light housework on average doing 902 minutes a week and memory scores were also higher, compared with those undertaking low levels of such tasks, averaging 89 minutes a week.8.
