  My stutter(口吃)had always been much of a problem.I'd had so many specialists for my   1   over the years.As l walked down the hallway to meet a new one, memories popped in my head of how painful(痛苦的)being a kid who stutters had been.It   2   hurt.

  “Hello! I'm Mrs.Claussen.I hear you're from Texas! "

  “Ye-Ye-Ye-Yes m-m-m-m-m-m-m-aam I am…”My heart felt like it was pounding through my chest and my hands were dripping wet.I really blew that

    3  

  “Well, " she said with a   4   Smile.161've always liked Texas."

  She turned out to be the best speech specialist I've ever had, not like those who

  told me to clap my hands while speaking.She was   5  .She spent the first several weeks just talking to me-asking me all kinds of questions about myself, especially my feelings.And she   6  .She then began to teach me about the speech.Not just about my speech, but about everybody's.

  I   7   in my old school and was a pretty good tenor(男高音), but I learned that the new school's singing group was all filled up.It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well-and I could do it

    8   stuttering.Somehow Mrs.Claussen finally got me in the group.I felt like she really cared about me as a person, not just a speech student.

  During the next two years, my speech didn't get much better-except with her.When I was in college, things got worse.I once even wondered if I would ever be able to   9   ! It was a very depressing time, and I often felt alone.When I was feeling really sorry for myself, I remembered Mrs.Claussen had told me whether I could   10   my speech was all up to me.She had told me not to fight for perfect speech, just better speech.She was right about that.I finally improved my speech greatly.

  Many years have passed, but I think of her from time to time, wondering if she had as much   11   0n her other students as she had on me.I like to think that she did.Her name was Mrs.Claussen...and she   12  .I'II never forget her.

  A

  IQ(intelligence quotient智商)is a score that shows a person’s level of intelligence. People used to believe that some people are born with a high IQ and some aren’t.

 1 a study by scientist at University College London has challenged(挑战)this idea. According to an article last October on the Journal Nature, scientists are beginning to think that our IQ is not a constant(不变的)score.

  The scientists tested 33 healthy young people in 2004 between the ages of 12 and 16. Then they did tests again four years later, when the same people were between 16 and 20.

  Scientists found big changes in the IQ scores between 2008 and 2004. Some 2and some fell 3 as many as 21 points.

  To test whether these scores were meaningful, the scientists compared them with results from brain scans(扫描). They found that the IQ changes matched changes in the structure(结构)of the subjects’ brains. “A change in 20 points is a huge  4 ,” said Professor Cathy Price, who led the research. He said it could mean the difference between an average and a  5 person. The team has not found a clear cause for these changes. However, they say it is  6 that education plays a role in changing IQ. “Here we have shown that children’s  7 is likely to be still developing, ” says Price. “We have to be careful not to write off  8 performers at an early stage. In fact, their IQ may improve in a few more years. ”
