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．

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．
