Drinking too much alcohol（酒，酒精）seems to give pleasure

to many people. Habit alone can keep people drinking. However,

many heavy drinkers can offer some other reasons for their

actions.

Right now doctors are getting some attention in their

protests against heavy drinking. Many people have cut down on

their drinking. In general, everyone believes the doctors'

warnings.

It is sometimes very easy to stop drinking heavily. For

example, at a party a man has just one drink. He can stop thinking

about having another one. Both health considerations(考虑) and

the high cost of drinking help him to stay away from alcohol.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds,

fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain

time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find

food more easily, but others move to get away from places that

are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move to

warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water

and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of the fish, which is called

“salmon”. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many

miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old,

it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth

and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They

leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They

move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to

the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the

sea.

Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind

of lobsters（龙虾）. Every year, when the season of bad weather

arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk

across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this,

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is

intelligence developed by our environment and our experience?

Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some

extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount

of education can make a genius out of a child born with low

intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring

environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives

in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of person's

intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those

limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by

most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.

It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent

something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship
