下面YJBYS店铺分享一篇关于讲智力的英语课文，欢迎学习!TEXTAsimov explains why there is much more in intelligence than just being able to score high on intelligence tests.What Is Intelligence, Anyway?Isaac AsimorWhat is intelligence, anyway? When I was in the army I received a kind of aptitude test that all soldiers took and, against a normal of 100, scored 160. No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that and for two hours they made a nig fuss over me. (It didn't mean anything. The next day I was still a buck private with KP as my highest duty.)All my life I've been registering scores like that, so that I have the complacent feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so, too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by the people who make up the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents similar to mine?For instance, I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80, by my estimate. I always took it for granted that I was far more intelligent than he was. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hastened to him with it, watched him anxiously as he explored its vitals, and listened to his pronouncements as thoughthey were divine oracles - and he always fixed my car.Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man devised questions for an intelligence test. Or suppose a carpenter did, or a farmer, or, indeed, almost anyone but an academician. By every one of those tests, I'd prove myself a moron. And I'd be a moron, too. In a world where I could not use my academic training and my verbal talents but had to do something intricate or hard, working with my hands, I would do poorly. My intelligence, then, is not absolute. Its worth is determined by the society I live in. Its numerical evaluation is determined by a small subsection of that society which has managed to foist itself on the rest of us as an arbiter of such matters.Consider my auto-repair man, again. He had a habit of telling me jokes whenever he saw me. One time he raised his head from under the automobile hood to say: "Doc, a deaf-and-dumb guy went into a hardware store to ask for some nails. He put two fingers together on the counter and made hammering motions with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He shook his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk brought him nails. He picked out the sizes he wanted, and left. Well, doc, the next guy who came in was a blind man. He wanted scissors. How do you suppose he asked for them?"I lifted my right hand and made scissoring motions with my first two fingers. Whereupon my auto-repair man laughed heartily and said, "Why, you dumb fool, he used his voice and asked for them." Then he said, smugly, "I've been trying that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew for sure I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, doc, I know you couldn't be very smart."And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Machine Elements However simple, any machine is a combination of individual
components generally referred to as machine elements or parts. Thus, if a machine is completely dismantled, a collection of simple parts remains such as nuts, bolts, springs, gears, cams and shafts— the building block of all machinery1. A machine element is, therefore, a single unit designed to perform a specific function and capable of combining with other elements. Sometimes certain elements are associated in pairs, such as nuts and bolts or keys and shafts. In other instances, a group of elements is combined to form a subassembly, such as bearings, couplings, and clutches.

Lesson Nine The English Character
Lesson NineThe English CharacterAnswer the questions on the text P244-2451. Q: What is the best known quality of the British to other Europeans? Are all the British, theEnglish, the Welsh, the Scots and the Northern Irish reserved in the same way?A: It is reserved.No, they are not. In Britain, the people of the North and the West are much less reserved than those of the South and the East. The Scots are very reserved, too.2. Q: What is a “reserved” person like?A: A reserved person doesn’t talk very much to strangers, does not show much emotion, and seldom gets excited.A reserved person is the one who does not talk very much to strangers, and does not showmuch emotion and seldom gets excited.3. Q: Why is it difficult to know a reserved person?A: It is difficult to know a reserved person because he/ she never tells you anything about himself/herself. Even when you work with him/her for years, you may not know where he/she lives, how many children he/she has, and what his/her interests are.4. Q: Give examples to show that the English are “reserved”.A: When they travel, the English always try to find an empty seat on the bus, or an empty compartment in a train. And they don’t like to start a conversation with their fellow travelers.5. Q: Why is reserve an unfortunate quality in some ways? The English aren’t as cold as theyappear, are they?A: It is so because it tends to give an impression of coldness.No, they aren’t. Once the barrier of reserve is broken down, they can be as friendly as any other people.6. Q: According to the writer, deep down, the English are as conceited as anybody else, aren’tthey? Why are they noted for their “modesty”? Can you give an example of “English modesty”?A: Yes, they are.They are known for their modesty because they never say they are good at something even though they think they are. They feel self-praise is impolite.For example, if a person is very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player, he will seldom reply “yes”. He would probably answer, “I’m not bad.”7. Q: Humor is highly valued in Britain, isn’t it? What is the starting-point of English sense ofhumor? How would you describe its starting-point?A: Yes, it is.The starting-point of English sense of humor is self-dispraise.This means the ability to laugh at oneself----at one’s own faults, one’s own failure, and even at one’s own ideals.8. Q: In summary, what are the most striking qualities of the English?A: They are reserve, a show of modesty and a sense of humor.The most striking qualities of the English are reserved, a show of modesty and a sense of humor and sportsmanship.9. Q: What sort of people do the English dislike? Why?A: They don’t like people who use flowery words and make big promises. They dislike those who show their feelings openly, and get excited easily.Because they think such people are not very reliable.The English don’t like the sort of people who use flowery words and make big promises and who show their feelings openly and get excited easily.10. Q: They English love sports, aren’t they? What sports were first practiced in Britain?A: Yes, they do.Such sports are boxing, rugby, football, hockey, tennis, table tennis and cricket are all English inventions.11. Q: What is sportsmanship? How should this ideal be applied to life in general?A: Sportsmanship means the ability to practice a sport according to its rules while showing one’s generosity to one’s opponent and accepting defeat gracefully. / Sportsmanship is the ability to and temper in defeat.Sportsmanship means the ability to practice a sport according to its rules while showing generosity to one’s opponent and accepting defeat gracefully.12. Q: Is there anything in English character that you think we can learn from? What is it if any?A: Yes, there are some things.I think we should learn from the English the ability to laugh at their own faults and failuresand their sense of fair play.Speak on the following topic: Give an example or examples, to show that Chinese modesty is similar to English modesty. P245Both the English and the Chinese are noted for their modesty. And self-praise is felt to be impolite to both nations. When you ask an Englishman who is very good at tennis if he is a good player, he would probably not reply “yes”, but only “I’m not bad”. Similarly, if you praise a Chinese for his good tennis, he would mostly say something like “No, I’m a poor player”. But according to the text, deep down, the English are as conceited as anybody else. They seem to value a sense of modesty. In similar situations, the Chinese usually mean what they say, and their self-dispraise is not a show of modesty.Written Work P245Write a summary of the text in about 100 words. 写一篇100左右单词的课文摘要The English are noted for their reserve, modesty, sense of humour and their respect for sportsmanship. The best known quality of the English is their reserve. They don’t like to talk, especially to strangers; they usually don’t show their feelings and they seldom get excited. Also, the English seem modest. If a person is good at something, he only says that he’s not bad. The English sense of humour is based on self-dispraise. The English laugh at their faults and their failures. They believe that their sense of humour reflects their positive attitude towards life. Finally, the English prize sportsmanship. This is because quite a number of major sports started in Britain. Sportsmanship is also shown in life in general to a certain degree in Britain.英国人以他们的含蓄、谦虚、幽默感和尊重道德感而闻名。
