What is intelligence (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I __36___ an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against __37___ of 100, scored 160.

I had an auto-repair man once,  who, on these intelligence tests,  could not __38___ have scored more than 80. __39___, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always __40__ it.

Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man __41___ questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I’d prove myself a __42___. In a world where I have to work with my __43___, I’d do poorly.

Consider my auto-repair man __44___ He had a habit of telling __45___. One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb(聋哑) man __46___ some nails.  Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made __47___ movements with the other hanD．The clerk brought him a hammer, He __48__ his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk __49___ him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the __50___ man who came in was blind．He wanted scissors (剪刀). __51___ 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 __52___ and asked for them. I’ve been __53___ that on all my customers today, but I knew __54___ I’d catch you.” “Why is that?” I askeD．“Because you are so god damned educated, DoC．I knew you  couldn’t be very __55___.”

And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had __36__ me to this spot in a small  town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered __37__.

“Look __38__, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my __39__ and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. And I saw the crisscross(十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the __40__. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. __41__ is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go __42__ one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. __43__ that day I had begged my mother to do __44__ about the terrible lunches that were served at school. But she __45__ because she could not believe the lunches were as __46__ as I said.

When I __47__ my father for help, he would not help. __48__, he brought me to this high tower to __49__ me a lesson — the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a __50__.

At school the next day, I __51__ poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to __52__ it to mother at dinner. The plan __53__ perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and said, “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day.

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working __54__ I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always __55__ me that there is more than one way to the square.
