Few scientific fields are as full of risk as that of research into human intelligence. The two questions that【1】over and over again are "is it a result of nature or nurture?" and "does race make a difference?"

Making【2】comments about the second question can be a【3】move, as James Watson, a co-discoverer of DNA structure, recently found. He suggested that he was "【4】about the prospect of Africa"【5】"all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours (white people) 【6】all the testing says not really". Such【7】are not merely【8】, they are scientifically weird. If the term race has any useful scientific meaning, then Africa, the continent where modern【9】began, is most racially diverse. The resulting【10】forced Dr Watson to leave his laboratory.

【11】, the study of【12】between intelligence and genetics has some wiser practitioners. One of them, Terrie Moffitt, of King's College, has just【13】a project【14】the relative importance of nature and nurture. Dr Moffitt's team【15】the effect on intelligence of breastfeeding, but in a genetic context. Previous studies have shown that breastfed children are more intelligent,【16】about six IQ points, than those given baby formulas.

The team, however,【17】the involvement of a gene called FADS2, which comes in two varieties, known as C and G. The researchers【18】if these two varieties【19】differently with breast milk.【20】on data two groups of people, they found that the intelligence increase associated with breastfeeding only happened to people having inherited at least one copy of the C variety. The effect did not depend on the social classes or IQs of the parents.

The age of gilded youth is over. Today's under-thirties are the first generation for a century who can expect a lower living standard than their parents.

Research into the lifestyles and prospects of people who were born since 1970 shows that they are likely to face a lifetime of longer working hours, lower job security and higher taxes than the previous generation.

When they leave work late in the evening, they will be more likely to return to a small rented flat than to a house of their own. When, eventually, they retire, their pensions are far lower in real terms than those of their immediate forebears.

These findings are revealed in a study of the way the ageing of Britain’s population is affecting different generations.

Anthea Tinker, professor of social gerontology (老人学) at King's College London, who carried out much of the work, said the growth of the proportion of people over 50 had reversed the traditional flow of wealth from older to younger generations.

"Today's older middle-aged and elderly are becoming the new winners," she said. "They made relatively small contributions in tax but now make relatively big claims on the welfare system. Generations born in the last three to four decades face the prospect of handing over more than a third of their lifetime's earnings to care for them."

The surging number of older people, many living alone, has also increased demand for property and pushed up house prices. While previous generations found it easy to raise a mortgage, today's under-thirties have to live with their parents or rent. If they can afford to buy a home it is more likely to be a flat than a house.

Laura Lenox-Conyngham, 28, grew up in a large house and her mother did not need to work. Unlike her wealthy parents, she graduated with student and postgraduate loan debts of ￡13,000. She now earns about ￡20,000 a year, preparing food to be photographed for magazines. Her home is a one-bedroom flat in central London and she sublets(转租) the lounge sofa-bed to her brother.

"My father took pity and paid off my student debts," she said. "But I still have no pension and no chance of buying a property for at least a couple of years--and then it will be something small in a bad area. My only hope is the traditional one of meeting a rich man."

Tinker's research reveals Lenox-Conyngham is representative of many young professionals, especially in London, Manchester, Edinburgh end Bristol.

By saying "the growth of the proportion...to younger generations." (Line 2, Para. 5), Anthea Tinker really means that ______.

A．currently wealth flows from old generation to younger generation

B．traditionally wealth flows from younger generation to old generation

C．with the increasingly big population of over 50, die trend arises that wealth flows from younger generation to old generation

D．with more and more people of over 50, traditions have been reversed

Aberdeen is an administrative center of Grampian Region, Northeastern Scotland, on the North Sea at the mouths of the Dee and Don rivers. It is the third largest in Scotland and the principal industrial center of North Scotland. It is also an important seaport and the country's largest fishing port. Aberdeen's harbor facilities were improved in the 1970s, and the city has become the major service center for the North Sea oil industry. Manufactures include chemicals, machinery, textiles, and paper. Aberdeen is a tourist city known for its sandy beaches, seaside rocks and fishing boats; it is popularly known as the Granite City because many of its buildings are constructed of local granite, the chief export. Points of interest include the Cathedral of Saint Machar (begun 15th cent.) and the University of Aberdeen, formed in 1860 by the merger of the Roman Catholic King's College(1495) and the Protestant Marischal College (1593). The city also has several museums and colleges of agriculture and technology. Aberdeen was made a royal burgh in 1159. In 1337 the town and its cathedral were burned by Edward Ⅲ, king of England.
