2008 The idea that some groups of people may[aux.v.可能，也许；可以，被允许；祝，愿] be more intelligent[a.聪明的,明智的,理智的] than others is one of those hypothesis[n.假说,假设,前提] that dare not speak its name. But Gregory Cochran is 1 to say it anyway. He is that 2 bird, a scientist who works independently 3 any institution. He helped popularize the idea that some diseases not 4 thought to have a bacterial cause were actually infections, which aroused[vt.唤醒，叫醒；唤起，激起] much controversy[n.争论，辩论，争吵] when it was first suggested. 5 he, however, might tremble at the 6 of what he is about to do. Together with another two[num.二，两个n.两个(人或物)] scientists, he is publishing a paper which not only 7 that one group of humanity[n.人类,人性,人情;(pl.)人文科学] is more intelligent[a.聪明的,明智的,理智的] than the others, but explains the process that has brought this about.

They also suffer more often than most people from a number of nasty[a.肮脏的,卑劣的,下流的;令人厌恶的] genetic[a.遗传(学)的 n.[-s]遗传学] diseases, such as breast cancer. These facts, 14, have previously been thought unrelated. The former has been 15 to social effects, such as a strong tradition of 16 education. The latter[a.后者的；后一半的，接近终了的 n.后者] was seen as a (an) 17 of genetic[a.遗传(学)的 n.[-s]遗传学] isolation. Dr. Cochran suggests that the intelligence and diseases are intimately 18. His argument is that the unusual history of these people has 19 them to unique[a.唯一的,独一无二的] evolutionary pressures that have resulted in this 20 state of affairs. 1.
