【昨日回顾】The social and political implications of these two theories are profound. In the United States,blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligence tests. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are biologically inferior to whites.这两种理论所包含的社会和政治内涵是深刻的。在美国,黑人在标准化智力测试中的成绩常常低于白人。这就使一些“天性”论的拥护者得出结论,黑人在生理上比白人略低一筹。【今日长难句】Behaviorists,in contrast,say that differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often deprived of many of the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy.
