【推荐2】Chinese astronauts, or taikonauts, Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu headed to the core module (核心舱) of China’s space station at 00:23 a.m. Beijing Time on October 16, 2021.

Zhai was chosen to be a member of the first batch (一组) of taikonauts in 1998. He was among the final groups to train for the Shenzhou-5 and Shenzhou-6 flights, but finally flew abroad the Shenzhou-7 spacecraft. During the Shenzhou-7 mission in September 2008, Zhai served as the commander of the spacecraft.

【推荐3】According to a study in Norway, students -who stayed in school longer than others of their age scored higher in intelligence tests.

In the middle of the 1950s, the government began requiring students to attend school until the age of sixteen instead of fourteen. Communities had spent almost twenty years making the change. So some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years. This difference gave researchers the chance to see if the extra schooling had any effect on the development of intelligence.

All young men in Norway must take a test of their cognitive (认知) abilities at the age of nineteen in preparation for required military service (兵役). This is commonly called an IQ test.

The researchers compared the test results of 107,000 young men to their years of schooling. Taryn Ann Galloway,a researcher at the University of Oslo, says, " The young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually do have higher IQs. So, based on that, we can say that increasing schooling does actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities."

An average IQ was one hundred. Most people scored between eighty-five and one hundred and fifteen.

Ms. Galloway says that students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those for seven years. Those who went for eight years scored about four points higher.

Experts have debated（争论）for years about the degree to which people are born with intelligence or develop it later. This is the nature or nurture（培养）argument - the influence of biology compared to the environment where people are raised and educated. This study seems to support the nurture side.

3. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The ways of education.

B．The purpose of the study.

C．The importance of the study.

D．The effects of the environment.

4. What can we infer from the study in Norway?

A．Increasing schooling can mean high IQ scores.

B．Students who attend school for 9 years will score over 115.

C．A person's intelligence depends on the amount of schooling.

D．Students should stay in school for two more years after graduation.
