For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (培養) decides what people will be like. Is it nature―what people are 1 with―that decides what they will be like? 2 is it nurture―what 3 to people when they are born―that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to 4 if they can find the answer,because twins start out with the 5 DNA. Sometimes twins don't live together at birth and grow up in different 6 and different places―so the nature is the same for both,but the nurture is different.
When scientists 7 these twins in their later life,they some times find some surprising 8 .
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted (收養) by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirtynine years 9 and discovered they had a lot in 10 Both had been 11 twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty ！
Each twin had a son―one called his son James Alan and the 12 called his son James Alan,too. Their children each had a dog called "Toy". They even arrived at their first 13 in the same color of car.
So far twin 14 seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth,and how and where we live help to build 15 we are.

As you can imagine,things are really different 10 the way they are at home. For example,you are not supposed to eat 11 with your hands except bread,not even fruit. 12 thing is that it is very rude to say you are full. If you don't want any more food,you should just say, " 13 . ” Also,it's rude to put your hands in your lap. I have to say,I find 14 difficult to remember everything,but I am gradually getting used to things.
Hope you 15 a good school year. Please write to me soon.

多義詞的轉義現象
英語中一詞多義是常見現象，很多詞的多種詞義之間有一定聯系。例如age—詞的詞義有“年齡、壽命、時代、階段”等，這些詞義相互之間有聯系，即都有“時間”的概念。但還有一些詞的詞義之間完全沒有聯系，我們可以稱其為轉義詞，或視為兩個詞義不同的同形異義詞。例如agree—詞在“I agree with you.”中是“同意”的意思，而在“This kind of I food doesn’t agree with him. ”一句中則是“適合”的意思，與前一句的詞義差別很大。我們學過的詞中有很多這樣的詞，應在學習中引起注意。下列每組兩個句子畫線詞的詞義差別很大，你能寫出它們各自的詞義嗎？
1.(l) He came at a time when we needed help.
(2) She came to realize how much she actually missed all of them.
2.(1) What size of shoes do you wear?
(2) Jack likes to wear his hair long.
3.(l) Can you stand on the top of the wall?
(2) 1 can’t stand such cold weather.
4.(l) Let，s save the endangered animals.
(2) 1 want to save more money.
