Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic （基因的），while their personalities，intelligence and other differences between them are an effect of their environment.Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（領養(yǎng)） as babies and raised by different couples.When the Jims finally met at age 39，they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were six feet tall，180 pounds.They had the same smile and the same voice.When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr.invited the Jim twins to his lab，people there found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They'd both had dogs named Toy.They had both married women named Linda and then their marriage broke up.They'd both been policemen，enjoyed music，and left love notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common，it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences（巧合）.
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested.When they compared the twins' IQ scores，Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion.They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education.It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However，genes can't control everything，argues geneticist Danielle Reed，who also studies twins.Reed's research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA，environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves，making even identical twins into very different people."What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen，"She explains."Things written in pen you can't change.That's DNA.But things written in pencil you can."

1．We all know the sun is important.It makes life on our planet possible.But how does the sun do that？It's the sun's energy.
Energy from the sun is called solar energy（太陽能） It comes in the form of light or heat.People have used solar energy for thousands of years.The sun's energy can be used to heat water and even food.If you own a magnifying glass，your parents have probably warned you not to leave it in the sun.Solar energy can actually make the magnifying glass burn objects underneath it causing a fire.This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal（熱的）energy.
We can also turn the sun's light into electricity.This is done with solar panels（板）.Solar panels are made up of a material called silicon（硅）.The silicon is heated and formed into very thin wafers（晶片）.When the sunlight hits the solar panel，the electrons in the silicon move and flow through wires（電線）.Using this technology，we can run a calculator and even power cars in an easy way.
But what happens on cloudy days？The electrons in the silicon will stop moving，which means the electricity can't flow.But this doesn't mean that solar energy can only be used on sunny days.People can use the batteries（電池）which are attached to（附著于）solar panels to store the electricity.So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on cloudy days.
Did you know that solar energy is not as expensive as it used to be？In fact，in the last few years.jye.ai panels have become much more affordable for people to use.Since the sun gives off more energy in one second than people have used，imagine what we could do if we used the sun's energy to power our planet.We all know the sun is important.Its energy makes life on our planet（1） .Energy from the sun is called solar energy.It comes in the form of light or heat.People have（2）solar energy for thousands of years.The sun's energy can be used to heat water and even food.This type of energy from the sun is called solar thermal energy.We can also turn the sun's light into（3）with solar panels.Using this technology，we can run a calculator and even power cars（4）.People can use the batteries which are attached to solar panels to store the electricity.So the stored electricity can be used to power cars at night or on（5）days.發(fā)布：2024/12/27 18:30:2組卷：2引用：3難度：0.5 -
