Born in Sweden in 1926, Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child, he enjoyed selling things and made small profits
28、 from selling matches, seeds, and pencils in his community. When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades. Naturally, he used it to start up a businessIKEA.Today IKEA is known for its modern, minimalist(极简单主义的)furniture, but it was not a furniture company in the

IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings, but in the ear
31、ly 1950s, people ordered from catalogues. Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming: people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it. This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive. By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture.In 1956, Kamprad s

33、 furniture themselves, but over time, even this grew into an advantage for IKEA. Nowadays, IKEA is often seen as having connotations of self-sufficiency. This image has done wonders for the company, leading to better sales and continued expansion.Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries. Amaz
34、ingly, Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-held company. In 2004 he was named the world s richest man.

38、e of events35 Approaches to Understanding IntelligencesIt pays to be smart, but we are not all smart in the same way. You may be a talented musician, but you might not be a good reader. Each of us is different.Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abiliti
39、es. Psychologists have two different views on intelligence. Some believe there is one general intelligence. Others believe there are many different intelligences.Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests. These psychologists support their view with r
40、esearch that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests. They do well on tests using words, numbers, or pictures. They do well on individual or group tests, and written or oral tests. Those who do poorly on one test, do the same on all tests.Studi
41、es of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence. The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving. The brain waves of people with higher intelligence showT a quicker reaction. Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from
