But James Flynn, professor at the University of Otago in New Zealand,

23、argues that people can“upgrade“ t heir intelligencethroughout their lives. He believes intellectual stimulation（刺激）from other peopleis important as the “brain seems to be rather like a muscle- the more you useit, the stronger it gets. " However, the opposite is also true - so people who share a
