What is intelligence(智力)anyway？When I was in the army I ____ an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against ____ of 100, scored 160.

Scientists use a test called Digit Symbol Substitution to assess everything from dementia(痴呆) to brain damage. Hartshorne, the lead author of the study, employed the test in his study of how intelligence changes over time. 1.
Most adults are bad at memorizing bits of information without context. A classic example is that you’ll have an easier time remembering a story about someone who bakes than a person with the last name Baker. 2.A 2011 study found humans are best at learning new names in our early 20s.
The human brain has a remarkable capacity to identify faces, and scientists are just beginning to learn why. On average, our ability to learn and remember new faces appears to peak shortly after our 30th birthday.
3. Don’t worry. A 2015 study suggests that our ability to sustain attention improves with age, reaching its peak around age 43.
Dating is tough. One of the reasons could be that we’re generally bad at reading other people’s emotions until we reach our late 40s. 4.Performance peaked for people aged around 48.
Ever wonder why you always lose at Scrabble(拼字游戏)? 5.According to people’s scores on multiple-choice vocabulary tests, most of us don’t reach our peak wordsmith(词语大师) abilities until we’re in our late 60s or early 70s.

F. Adults approaching mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.

A man who took a woman's seat on a train and refused to leave has been banned from rail travel for an unspecified period of time, China Railway Jinan Group said on Friday. Railway police also fined him 200 yuan ($29), according to the group.
A video posted online showed the man, Sun He, taking a window seat in an economy coach on a train from Jinan to Beijing on Tuesday, and refusing to give it back to the woman and taunting her.
"You have three choices - stand, take my seat or go to the dining coach," Sun told the young woman in the video. According to the tickets, Sun's assigned seat was one row behind the woman's.
When a train attendant came to mediate, Sun claimed he wasn't able to stand and asked for a wheelchair. A railway police officer tried to persuade him but failed, and he was then left alone. The woman was given a seat in the business-class coach.
The punishment, released on Friday, came after the nationwide anger and online condemnation (谴责) of Sun's behavior.
It remains unknown how long he will be banned from rail travel. But according to a guideline, offenders will be banned from rail travel for 90 or 180 days, depending on the violations. Violations include smoking on trains, traveling without tickets, failing to pay surcharges upon arrival, reselling tickets, using a fake ID and disrupting public order or railway safety.
The guideline, which took effect May 1, is part of measures to improve behavior and enhance public security and order.
On Friday, netizens exposed another similar case, China National Radio reported. A woman with a standing ticket took a passenger's seat on a train from Shenzhen to Qingdao on Wednesday, and refused to give it back even though a train attendant tried to mediate. The passenger and her companion were forced to stand for two hours from 4 am to 6 am, the report said.

A First Responder is someone who immediately tries to help with some incident that occurs. This could be a response to someone who is hurt or injured, a natural disaster (like a fire, flood or tornado), or maybe your pet needs help.
The response might be at your house or in your neighborhood or community. When called, the First Responder is trained to come right away. A quick response is the surest way that the incident can be resolved in the shortest amount of time and with the least amount of damage to individuals and to property.
A First Responder is responsible for the protection and preservation of life, property, evidence, and the environment. They are trained in many areas like emergency management, public health, clinical care, public works, and in operating equipment.
Together, they work to provide support services at the “onset” of an incident. “Onset” means at the early stages. They work to help in all response areas of prevention, response, and recovery:
Prevention is trying to stop more things happening in the future as a result of this incident.
Response means what is done in the incident and how you react to those individuals in the incident.
Recovery means what is done to restore or rebuild (whatever it is) back to what it was like prior to the incident.
Dialing 9-1-1 is one way you can ask for help from First Responders. You should know when it is appropriate to call this emergency help number. Dialing 9-1-1 in cases that are not emergencies should be prevented. It wastes people’s time and takes away resources that are needed from other emergency situations. Your parents and teachers can talk to you about dialing 9-1-1.
We salute those people who are First Responders and we thank them for their quick responses to helping out in situations when needed. We thank them for their special technical skills and personal skills of kindness and caring they bring with them on every response job.
