What is intelligence （智力） anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 23 have scored more than 80. 24 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always 25 it.

Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made 32 movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He 33 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk 34 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the 35 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀). 36 do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool

As we all know, Chinese handwriting has infinite power to express differences of character and cultivation. But we have to admit that traditional handwriting has become a __50__ art, now that kids start using keyboards as soon as they begin school.

Writing by hand is different from __53__ because it requires using strokes to create a letter, __54__ just selecting the whole letter by touching a key, says Virginia Berninger, a professor of psychology at the University of Washington. These __55__ movements activate large regions of the brain __56__ in thinking, memory, and language. Handwriting helps children learn letters and shapes, improves their composition of ideas, and may also __57__ fine-motor skills development.
A study by Berninger found that in grades two, four, and six, children wrote more words, faster, and expressed more __58__ when writing essays by hand than when typing on a keyboard.
A separate study by researchers at Indiana University found that children who practiced printing by hand had more active__59__than kids who __60__ looked at letters.
It’s not just children who __61__ from writing things out by hand, says a study in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. Adults learning a new language remember its __62__ better if they write them out by hand than if they produce them with a keyboard.

Every decision is made within a decision environment, which is defined as the collection of information, alternatives, values. Many decision makers have a(n) 50 to seek more information than required to make a good decision. When too much information is sought and obtained, one or more of several 51 can arise.
﹡ A 52 in the decision occurs because of the time required to obtain and process the extra information.
﹡ 53 overload will occur. In this state, so much information is available that decision-making ability actually 54 because the information in its entirety can no longer be managed or assessed 55 . A major problem caused by information overload is 56 . When too much information is taken into memory, especially in a short period of time, some of the information (often that received early on) will be pushed out.
﹡Selective use of the information will occur. 57 , the decision maker will choose from among all the information available only those facts which support a preconceived(预先构想的) solution or position.
﹡Mental fatigue occurs, which 58 slower work or poor quality work.
﹡ 59 fatigue occurs, where the decision maker tires of making decisions. Often the result is fast, careless decisions or no decisions are made at all.
The quantity of information that can be processed by the human mind is limited. Unless information is 60 selected, processing will be biased toward the first part of the information received. After that, the mind tires and begins to 61 subsequent information or forget earlier information.
A common 62 about decision making is that decisions are made in isolation from each other: you gather information, explore alternatives, and 63 , without regard to anything that has gone before. The fact is, decisions are made in a context of other decisions.
We might say, then every decision 64 from previous decisions: enables many future decisions, and assists other future decisions.

But the swan 37 from its cage on the way and when he tried to 38 it, he got hold of nothing but a 39 . Instead of returning home, he continued his 40 taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this 41 gift, he was deeply moved. And the 42 ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was 43 far and wide.
Chinese used to 44 one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This 45 has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is 46 used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and 47 on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a 48 position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants. 49 at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting.
It is common social practice to 50 the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk 51 a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or 52 are a good choice to break the ice. With a 53 , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes 54 . Similar to Western customs, you should be 55 in asking a woman private questions. However, talking about her job or family life will never put you into danger.
