23、 we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how m
24、uch he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isnt sure how it will all wor
25、k out, but at least he tries. And if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed: he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it. If yo
26、u look at children, you11 see great difference between what we call “bright“ children and “not-bright“ children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out about life he tries t
27、o get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world: he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. 21 According to this passage, intelligence is_. （ A） the ability to study well （ B） the ability to do well in school （ C） th
28、e ability to deal with life （ D） the ability to get high scores on some tests 22 In a new situation, an intelligent person_. （ A） knows more about what might happen to him （ B） is sure of the result he will get （ C） concentrates on what to do about the situation （ D） cares more about himself 23 If a
29、n intelligent person failed, he would_. （ A） try not to feel ashamed （ B） learn from his experiences （ C） try to regret as much as possible （ D） make sure what result he would get 24 Bright children and not-bright children_. （ A） are two different types of children （ B） are different mainly in their
30、 degree of cleverness （ C） have difference only in their way of thinking （ D） have different knowledge about the world 25 The author of this passage will probably continue to talk about_. （ A） how to determine what intelligence is （ B） how education should be found （ C） how to solve practical proble
31、ms （ D） how an unintelligent person should be taught 25 The automobile has many advantages. Above all, it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. However, to most people, cars also serve as symbols of power, success, speed, excitement, and adventure. In addition, much of t
32、he worlds economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads, services, and repairs for those vehicles. In the United States, one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non-farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries, such as oil, steel, rubber, plastics, a
33、utomobile services, and highway construction. In spite of their advantages, motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air, water, land, and wildlife resources. Though we tend to deny it, riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives. Since 1885, whe
34、n Karl Benz built the first automobile, almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year, cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250, 000 people and injure or permanently disable ten million more. Half of the worlds people will be involved in an auto accident at some tim
35、e during their lives. In addition to the tragic loss of life, these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance, administrative, and legal expenses. Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the stre
