  When we talk about intelligence(智力), 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(表现), especially in a new situation.If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.

  For example, 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 be can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it.He probably isn't sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries.And if he cannot make things work out right, he doesn't feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed, he just tries to learn from his mistakes.An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(看法)on life, a special feeling about life, and how he fits into it.

  If you look at children, you'll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-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 to 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.

Born as the only child in the family, I am the king of the family. My parents are both businessmen and they come home every two weeks. Because they dont spend much time with me, they always feel guilty* and will buy me many expensive things and let me do whatever I want. My grandparents never let me do any chores because they want me to do my schoolwork.

?? I used to take everything for granted*. I never said thank you to people. As time went by, I found that my classmates didnt like me and my best friends left me. one day, I asked Leo, who used to be one of my best friends. He said that I was selfish, rude* and bad-tempered*. No one wants to make friends with a person who always receives but never gives anything! he said. I was shocked* at his words. Oh, no! Please dont leave me. I need friends! I will be lonely and unhappy without friends! I locked myself up in the room and cried. “I want my friends back. But how?

?? Then I noticed that all the popular kids in the class friendly to others. They always smile and say thank you to others. They do whatever they can to help when others are in trouble. Other kids like them and always play with them. “I need to change! I will get my friends back, I said to myself. From then on, I started to change myself. I learned to say thank you to others. I smiled and volunteered to help other kids. I tried to be as nice as I could. Gradually, I found that other kids liked to talk with me and they would ask me to play with them and even told me their secrets. My friends came back to me again.

?? Now I have more friends than I used to do and I am happier than I used to be.

One morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00. I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.

“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can!” I said.

“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said. “It will be faster than the bus.”

I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park — even through some backyards! When I got to school, I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math, our first lesson of the morning. But I made it just in time for history, our second lesson. I was very happy because history is my favorite subject.
