When I crossed a small road on my first day in Kolkata，I was surprised because I heard a bell-not a horn （喇叭），It was a tiny man pulling a rickshaw，He stopped and picked up two children from the front door of their house and pulled them to school．For many people，the rickshaw in Kolkata has many advantages．When the traffic is bad，rickshaws find a way through the traffic．If your miss your bus and there aren't any taxis，you can always find a rickshaw in Kolkata．Rickshaws are from your house to the market and waits for you．Then he loads （装载）all your things，drops you off outside your home and helps you unload，No other type of public transport offers this kind of service．
7．What makes a group smart and able to solve problems successfully and produce good solutions？Oh，we may ask：what makes a group intelligent？A group's IQ （智商），we might think，would be simply the average intelligence （平均智力） of the group's members，or perhaps the intelligence of the group's smartest member．But some scientists have found that this isn't so．
A groups intelligence comes out from communications that go on within group．A group's intelligence can be calculated，and like the IQ grades of a single person，and it can predict the group's performance on lots of kinds of tasks perfectly．Just like a single person's intelligence can be trained and developed．A group's intelligence can also be increased．Here are some suggestions on how to guide the development of smart groups：
Personally，you can choose group members carefully．The smartest groups are made up pf people who are good at reading one another's social signs．And then it's better for you to talk about the"how"．Groups who take the time to discuss how they will work together are more well-organized and successful．
As a group member，it is also very important for you to share （分享） the floor in the formal （正式的） meetings．The members who just control the discussion or who stay away and don't say much make the intelligence of the group lower．But in the smart group，members connect directly with each other，not just with group leader．They always take an active part in every small conversation that could be added to main discussion．Outside of formal meetings，the smartest groups spend a lot of time communicating，too．All members can have a coffee break at the same time，leading them to do their work more professionally and feel more pleased with their jobs．
