Does your older brother think he’s cleverer than you? Well, he’s probably right. According to a new research published in the journal Intelligence, the oldest children in families are likely to have the highest
IQs and the youngest the lowest.
A number of studies have suggested that IQ scores decline with birth order. In the most recent study, at Vrije University, Amsterdam, researchers looked at men and women whose IQ had been tested at the ages of 5，12 ，and 18．
The results, which show a trend for the oldest to score better than the youngest in each test, involved about 200,000 people. That showed that first-borns had a three-point IQ advantage over the second-born, who was a point ahead of the next in line．
The order of birth can also affect personality, achievement, and career, with first-borns being more academically successful and more likely to win Nobel prizes. However, eldest children are less likely to be radical（不同凡响的） and pioneering. Charles Darwin, for example, was the fifth child of six．
Exactly why there should be such differences is not clear, and there are a number of theories on environmental influences on the child．
The so-called dilution(稀释法) theory suggests that as family resources, both emotional and physical, as well as economic, are limited, it follows that, as a result , as more children come along, the levels of parental attention and encouragement will drop. Another theory is that the intellectual environment in the family favors the first-born who has, at least for some time, the benefit of individual care and help．
The theory which enjoys the most support is that the extra time and patience that the earlier-borned get from their parents, compared with those arriving later, gives them an advantage． 66.What is the passage mainly about?
A. IQ scores have little to do with the order of birth． B. Intellectual families favor the first-born.
C. The order of birth can have an effect on IQ.
D. The order of birth can affect personality, achievement, and career． 67.By using Charles Darwin as an example, the author wants to prove that________.
A. eldest children are the smartest in a family B. youngest children will usually become experts C. first-borns are more likely to win Nobel prizes D. eldest children are less likely to try something new 68.What do we know about the dilution theory?
A. Intellectual parents love the first –born better B. Parents’ attention will drop with more children coming C. Family resources, both emotional and physical are endless． D. First-born get less care and help from their parents． 69.The passage is developed mainly by . A. offering opinion with further explanation B. pointing out similarities and difference C. comparing opinions from different fields D. providing typical examples
70.The passage can be classified into the following type of writing_______. A. argumentation exposition(说明)

The environmental group Heal the Bay organized a beach clean-up. And I was one of the volunteers. We went to Venice Beach to clean up the trash.
At first glance, the beach didn’t look dirty at all. But then I saw a Styrofoam(泡沫)cup half buried in the sand on the beach. I pulled hard and
B. description
C. narration(记叙文)
D.
finally got it out. As we moved farther, we found pieces of Styrofoam spread all over the sand. The Heal the Bay representative had told us that these little pieces of Styrofoam and other small pieces of plastic are what actually harm sea life most. Sea animals eat the plastic. After eating it, they think they are full. As a result, they can die of starvation as they are cheated by their feeling and don’t think they need to eat any food.
We kept on picking up the trash. Then I saw someone with a full Heal the Bay trash bag and I went to see what was inside. When I opened the trash bag, I found everything from a pair of old jeans and a brown belt to headphones and some plastic bags. It made me very angry with the people who left their things behind without thinking what effects they might have on the ocean.
It is really important to protect the ocean. The ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface. A clean ocean not only helps animals in the ocean survive but also helps us survive.
By noon, the sun was shining and the temperature was rising. The volunteers that had spread out across Venice Beach were coming back to throw the trash they had collected into the truck. I could not believe how much trash there was. All together we collected more than 135 bags of trash. I do hope that next time people go to the beach, they will stop littering.
