Communities had almost twenty years to make the change. So some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years.This difference gave researchers the chance to see if the additional schooling had any effect on intellectual development.All young men in Norway must take a test of their cognitive ability at age nineteen in preparation for required military service. This is commonly called an IQ，or intelligence quotient test.The researchers compared the test results of one hundred and seven thousand young men to their years of school. Taryn Ann Galloway is a researcher at the University of Oslo.“The young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually did have higher IQs. So，based on that，we were able to say that increasing compulsory schooling did actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities as measured at nineteen years of age.” Taryn Ann Galloway says.The average IQ is one hundred. Most people score between eighty-five and one hundred fifteen.Ms.Galloway says students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those who attended for seven years. Those who went for eight years scored about four points higher.Taryn Ann Galloway says，“So that’s still quite large.”The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Another recent study，in the journal Nature，found that IQ scores can rise or fall during the teenage years. In two thousand four，researchers from University College London tested thirty-three young people aged twelve to sixteen. They repeated the tests four years later. They found increases or decreases of as much as twenty points. Professor Cathy Price says the differences in performance could be the result of some teens being early or late developers. But she says it is equally possible that education played a part. She sees a lesson for educators：“We have to be careful not to write off poorer performers at an early stage when in fact their IQ may improve significantly given a few more years.”1．According to the passage，in Norway ________.A．teens stay at school longer than those in other countriesB．students usually begin school at 7C．the public must carry out the requirement at onceD．the government did a lot of things to improve students’ IQ2．Young men in Norway must take an IQ test at 19 ________.A．to help researchers do a study on intellectual developmentB．to see whether their IQ scores rise or fallC．to prepare for the required military serviceD．to be allowed to graduate from the school3．How did the researchers do their study?A．By comparison.B．By asking questions.C．By giving examples.
