If an American is satisfied with you,he will put his thumb and forefinger into a circle.That means OK.But in Brazil,the very sign is considered to be rude.In Poland,a guest usually presents flowers to his hostess.The number must be an odd(奇数)one.Besides,the hostess isn’t expected to remove the cover of the bunch of flowers.And usually,the red rose is a sign of love.
Usually we nod to express our agreement and shake our heads to show disagreement.To our surprise these body movements mean the opposite in Bulgaria.
The differences in customs and cultures in the world are really noticeable.We should learn more about them to avoid embarrassment(窘迫).Then,would you please remember:When in Rome,do as the Romans do.

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 can be,and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it.Probably he 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 the great differences 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, and he tries to get in touch with everything around him; while the unintelligent(不聪明的) child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world:he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.
