Staying in school really can make you smarter. A new study from Norway finds that students who (67) in school longer than their counterparts have higher IQ (Intelce Quotient)scores.
B.
In the mid-1950s, the Norwegian government began (68) students to (69) school until they were 16 years old, (70) than allowing them to drop (71) at 14.
C.
Communities had until 1972 to (72) in the compulsory education reform, which meant that, for nearly 20 years, youngsters in some municipalities (自治 区) went to school for seven years and others attended classes for at least nine years.
D.
That gave Taryn Ann Galloway a (73) opportunity to see what impact the extra two years of education had (74) the intellectual (75) of students. Galloway, a researcher at the University of Oslo, explains that all young men in Norway are required to (76) a cognitive (77) ,or IQ test,for the military (78) at age 19.
E.
So, she and her colleagues were able to sift (筛选) (79) data on 107,000 draft-age young men, correlating their years of education (80) their IQ scores (81) by the military.
F.
The (82) IQ score on the intelce test is 100, with most of the population (83) somewhere between 85 and 115 on the (84)
G.
"The young men who were forced to stay in school for two years longer (85) did have higher IQs," Galloway says. Students who got a full two years of extra schooling showed an IQ (86) of more than 7 points. "I think it’s because you do learn general thinking skills at school and you are able to practice them." according to Galloway.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
B.
26-29
C.
Recently.a biology teacher in Kansas—a state in the American Midwest--made national.and even international news.After Christine Pelton discovered that 28 of her 118 students had plagiarized parts of a major project,she gave them failing grades.(26)Although this was the school policy,the students’parents complained.The school board directed Ms. Pelton to change the punishment:They told her that 600 points should be taken from the offenders,rather than the entire 1,800 points.(27)Ms.Pelton resigned in protest.
D.
Although the incident may soon be forgotten,lt raised some important questions:What is plagiarismHow serious is itThe simplest form of plagiarism Occurs when someone copies material without giving credit to the source.
E.
Some people claim that copying is necessary to do well in school.They llave realized that their own words are not as good as someone else’s.(28)Another common argument is that everyone does it,so it’s not a big deal.In fact,it has been learned that even some highly respected figures,including Martin Luther King,Jr.,have plagiarized.
F.
(29)Although some people find reasons to justify plagiarism,others feel the issue is clear-cut:They feel it is morally wrong,and consider it stealing--a theft of ideas rather than money.These people believe that students who plagiarize benefit unfairly.They receive a better grade than they deserve.
