湖南省长郡中学2019届高三上学期英语开学考试（第一次月考）试卷
What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live?
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. If on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.”or“”

Luckily, parents can help kids manage worry and deal with everyday problems.
