What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160．No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that, 23 I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who 24 the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 25 have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well，then，suppose my auto—repair man 26 questions for some intelligence tests．By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a 27 ．In a world where I have to work with my 28 ，I'd do poorly．
Consider my auto—repair man 29 ．He had a habit of telling 30 ．One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man 31 some nails．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． 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，he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been 38 that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew 39 I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very 40 ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there．

点评：文章用我与汽车修理工人之间的交流告诉我们智商只是相对而言，并不能说明任何问题。而是要看这个智力测试的题目是由谁来制定的，也许由不同的人制定智力测试的题目，结果就会大相径庭。文章结构严谨，层次分明，考查知识面广，立足语篇，侧重通过上下文信息考查考生的综合运用英语的能力，渗透了智力水平和综合素质的要求，建议以后的学习中，注重语篇的学习，培养自己驾驭语篇的能力，培养自己根据语篇综合运用英语的能力。
