How much can environment alter intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage to more stimulating environments. The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults. Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who
gave them love, a family, and a stimulating home environment. The children gained an average of 29 IQ points. For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points. A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points. Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children. In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy through preschool. By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group. More important, they were still 5 points higher 7 years later. High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school. A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years. These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them. It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society. What is the overall tone of this passage? a. nostalgic b. optimistic c. gloomy d. discouraging

Numerosissimi sono gli influssi del mondo anglofono sulla cultura italiana, ma a veder bene è sicuramente il panorama musicale italiano in cui questi risultano ancora più evidenti. A partire dagli anni sessanta sull’onda dei Beatles e dei Rolling Stones sono nati numerosi gruppi come i Dik Dik e I Camaleonti, che imitavano nel look e nei suoni le band più popolari del momento. Le canzoni di quegli anni che denunciano maggiormente il debito verso la musica anglofona sono «Sognando California» dei Dik Dik, versione italiana di «California Dreamin’» dei Mamas and the Papas, e «Un paese in festa» de I Giganti, originalmente lanciata dai Beatles («A Taste of Honey»). Ancora ai nostri giorni la moda dei rifacimenti di canzoni straniere continua: si pensi soprattutto a Ron («Una città per cantare» ripresa di «The Road » di Jackson Browne) o Ligabue che con la sua «A che ora è la fine del mondo» gioca con «It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine)» dei R.E.M.. Meno fortuna ha la musica italiana in America, ma si può ricordare «Gloria» di Laura Branigan, canzone che con lo stesso titolo aveva avuto un grande successo nella sua versione italiana interpretata e scritta da Umberto Tozzi nel 1979. I gruppi musicali italiani imitavano _____. a. le band inglesi b. le band inglesi e americane c. le band americane
