Approaches to Understanding Intelligences
It pays to be smart , but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician , but you light not be a good reader.Each of us is different.
Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.
Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words , numbers , or pictures.They do well on individual or group tests , and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test , do the same on all tests.
Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.
Howard Gardner , a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education , has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists , he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.
Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example , when one part of the brain is injured , other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing.So , there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence: linguistic,mathematical,spatial,musical,interpersonal,intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic (身体动觉的), and naturalistic.
Which of the following statements is true concerning general intelligence?
A:Most intelligent people do well on some intelligence tests.
B:Intelligent people do not do well on group tests.
C:Intelligent people do better on written tests than on oral tests.
D:People doing well on one type of intelligence test do well on other tests.
Prisoners were kept in the mostappallingconditions.
A: flexible
B: terrible
C: reasonable
D: serious

Book Shops in London
Londoners are great readers.They buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books一specially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in
the costs of printing. They still continue to buy"proper"books,too,printed on good paper and bound between hard covers.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being"the biggest bookshop in the world"to the tiny,dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dicken's time. Some of these shops stock,or will obtain,any kind of book,but many of them specialize in second-hand books,in art books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the myriad subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes solely in books about ballet.
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest. For the really cheap second-hand volumes,the collector must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so grandiose as bookshops.Instead,the booksellers come along each morning and tip out their sacks of books on the small barrows(流动集售货车)which line the gutters(街沟).And the collectors,some professional and some amateur, who have been waiting for them,pounce(一把抓住)upon the dusty cascaded(一叠叠图书).In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old volume that may be worth many pounds.
"Londoners are great readers"means that________.
A:Londoners are great because they read a lot
B:there are a great number of readers in London
C:Londoners are readers who read only great books
D:Londoners read a lot
