What is intelligence We all know we have some, and some people seem to have more than others. There are various types of intelligence.
The most obvious categories that people fit into are those who are good with numbers and those who are good with words. Some of us are neither while others are both. A third category of intelligence is related to interpreting visual (视沉的)information. A common way of measuring intelligence is through the use of “IQ" or intelligence tests. These tests include many types of questions to measure different types of intelligence, but the three most important are numerical, verbal (文字的) and visual.
Most simple intelligence tests combine all three types of questions in equal numbers, so that everyone has the same chances, whether he or she is better at one type or another. The IQ is an average and says nothing about special abilities.

A. The number of questions people can answer in the given time.
B. The time each person spends' on the test.
C. Mental speed.

| We all know that the normal human daily
cycle of activity is of some 748 hours’ sleep alternating with some 16417 hours’
wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the
hours of darkness. Our present concern is with how easily and to what extent
this cycle can be modified. The question is no mere academic one. The ease, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls for round the-clock working of machines. It normally takes from five days to one week for a person to adapt to a reversed routine of sleep and wakefulness, sleeping during the day and working at night. Unfortunately, it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week: a person may work from 12 midnight to 8 a.m. one week, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. A. the inconveniences brought about to, the workers by the introduction of automation B. the disturbance of the daily cycle of workers who have to change shifts too frequently C. the fact that people working at night are often less effective D. the fact that it is difficult to find a number of good night workers [单项选择]We all know that a magician does not really depend on "magic" to perform his tricks, but on his ability to act at great speed.
