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.
I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not possibly have scored more than 80. ____ , when anything went wrong ____ my car I hurried to him-and he always ____ it.
Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man ____ questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself a ____ . In a world where I have to work with my hands, I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto-repair man ____ . He had a habit of telling ____ . One time he said, "Doc, a deaf-and-dumb(聋哑)man ____ some nails. Having entered a ____ , he put two fingers together on the counter and made ____ movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer.

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.

D. He found that participants’ performance generally peaked in their late teens.
E. Participants were asked to describe the emotion the person in the photo felt.
F. Adults approaching mid-years may have the greatest capacity to remain focused.
