What does it mean to be intelligent?
It seems that everyone goes to college now, whether or not they find themselves interested in studying something long term. Even though I know there are different ways to be intelligent, I struggle due to society’s influence, which maintains that intelligence is quantifiable (可量化的) and that academic intelligence is one and the only.
Where do IQ tests come into play when one considers intelligence? Do they fall closest to priority when considering this unquantifiable concept? Intelligence simply cannot be reduced to an IQ test, which are not effective. While designed to measure “intelligence,” all they measure are biological developments that can change as one grows. 1.
There are many factors that can indicate an intelligent being, such as academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence. For instance, if a student realizes that they haven’t studied appropriately for an exam, he or she would have the ability to acknowledge that, and then make revisions to his or her study habits accordingly. 2. Emotional intelligence is the intelligence that fosters self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-improvement.
3. We cannot function without forming relationships and communication. This proves that being aware of oneself and reflecting in order to further better communication skills is an evidence to intelligence. Where would you be if you were a terrible communicator, unaware, and unwilling to improve, but academically thriving?
Emotional intelligence is what surpasses (超越) those who are hard-headed. Those who maintain academic intelligence may still be a bit dull and unaware of themselves. 4.Even as a college student, there are certain skills such as teamwork and communication that require awareness and an open mind in order to further their growth.
5. Academia is not only pictured and taught unfairly, or even close to what intelligence is if you were to quantify it. If you want to strive for mental growth, and maintain self-awareness through self-reflection, you can apply that to any intelligence category.
A. All of life is communicatory.
B. Specifically, this is emotional intelligence.
C. Intelligence is determined by many factors.
D. Stubbornness is a barrier towards communication.
E. In fact, there are many with low IQ scores that are intelligent.
F. Some connections exist between intelligence and communication.
G. So there is academic intelligence, emotional intelligence, and worldly intelligence.

The structure in organizations has changed. It has transformed from a boss to a leader being at the top and from method directing to cooperation, _______ how many of us have actually made this _______ within ourselves?
Let's not get personal about any person or connect this to any _______ organization. Consider the _______ pattern on a social media website such as LinkedIn. We often see good articles written by junior-level employees which _______ new enthusiasm and new perspectives, but how many senior-level _______ go and "Like" the article? Not _______read it, but actually "Like” it. More often than not, the answer is none. Leaders read such articles, but they _______ to press the "Like" button due to some fear!
A friend of mine, who holds the _______ of Director of Human Resources in a reputed organization, happened to mention an article that his team member had written. I casually enquired ________ the absence of a "Like" or comment from him. His answer really ________ me! He said: "You know what my ________ is? I cannot be commenting or liking his article in public!" Amazed by this behavior, I did my research on this pattern on a few social media platforms. Yes, people want to “Like" or comment on articles and photos that are published by people with a（n） ________ level and do so as well.
While we are ________ the "Like" button on a junior-level employee's one — year anniversary, we jump to be one in a few hundreds to offer ________ on a senior-level leader's one — year completion. However, I think our precious “Like" for the employee ________ a lot and encourages him, while, on the other hand, it is ________ many hundreds and is not ________ noticed by the leader.
Encourage new talents and ________ them. If we do not exhibit this socially, I am sure we will not ________ it in our job either.

Since the age of three, Chelsie Hill had dreamed of becoming a dancer. However, her _______ nearly ended one night in 2010. A car accident put the 17-year-old high school senior in the hospital for 51 days and left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the _______ down.
For most people, that would have _______ any hope of a dancing career. For Hill, it was the beginning. Far from being a _______, her wheelchair brought out her bravery. She wanted to prove she was still “normal” by dancing. _______ Hill did it, rolling her wheelchair right alongside her nondisabled high school dance team. “It feels as if half of my body was _______ from me, and I have to move it with my hands,” Hill said. “It definitely took a lot of _______ and patience.”
After graduation, Hill wanted to _______ her dance network to include women like her. She began to meet people online who had suffered similar injuries but _______ her determination. Then in 2014, Hill moved to Los Angeles and formed a team of dancers with disabilities she calls the Rollettes. “I want to __________ the stereotype (刻板形象) of wheelchair users and show dance is dance, whether you’re walking or you’re __________.”
Dancing on wheels can be just as fast-paced, artful, and __________ as the foot-based variety. In disabled dance competitions around the country, her team danced to the popular tunes, __________ their upper bodies, shaking their heads to the special __________, striking poses, and __________ their wheelchairs in well-timed, dynamic, highly designed routines. They’re having fun, and as the audiences’ exuberant (热情洋溢的) reactions indicate, the fun is __________.
Hill has attained what many of us never will: her childhood __________. She’s a dancer. But the Rollettes have helped her find something else just as __________. Every year she holds a dance camp for other wheelchair users with an eye to helping them find their inner __________. In 2019, 173 participants from ten countries attended.

Bridging the gap
How does a principal investigator make communication among deaf and hearing colleagues easier? Moreover, how are the large number of field-specific technical terms _______— and communicated in sign language? These _______ differences are not remarkably challenging to work around.
Blumberg taught himself American Sign Language and has interpreters _______ in the lab during the day. For lab meetings, journal clubs and research seminars, he has two interpreters present t0 tag-team signing. Costs for the interpreters are _______ by the NIH's Office of Research Services. The only learning curve that he experienced, Blumberg says, was realizing he needed _______ interpreters, Before, when he had one deaf student, he could _______ the interpreting. As more deaf fellows joined, Blumberg _______ full-time interpreters for help.
Having interpreters around all day is not necessary though. " _______ . interpreters are only needed during the day if we're having lab meeting, classes, important functions or events, or _______ -poster presentations, student presentations, guest presentations from ________________ scientists, Lundberg says. "The rest of the day, I do not need an interpreter, ________________ I'm in lab and it's independent work.”
During his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota, Lundberg used online chat platforms to ________________ with his adviser and colleagues. Or he wrote ________________ a whiteboard, scratch paper, or paper towels. His adviser later ________________ that he keep the scraps of paper, which “was really good advice," Lundberg says, "because they were really good notes."
The best way to arrange the most suitable accommodations for deaf individuals is to ask them ________________ they need, says Derek Braun, a former postdoctoral fellow with Blumberg and currently a professor of biology at Gallaudet University. One of his ongoing projects is a collaboration with Blumberg and Lundberg to investigate the role of Ras guanyl nucleotide (鸟苷核苷酸) — releasing proteins in cancer. ________________ deaf people sign, Braun says. "Some are oral. Really, we come in every flavor imaginable. The best judge of what that person needs is usually the person?
Signing scientific terms is not unusually challenging either. While no standardized set of signs for technical words exists, colleagues working in the same lab develop their own signs for the terms they frequently use. If each lab develops signs ________________, what happens when members of different labs meet?
Larry Pearce, a technician in Blumberg’s lab ________________ is deaf, explains to me, “ It's really not that difficult, because when an individual does not understand a sign we use, they'll ask for clarifications (说明) and I'll finger-spell. I’ll spell ________________ out. They will tell me what their sign is, and I'll tell them what our sign is. If I like their sign better, I might adopt it and use it every day, or vice-versa (反之亦然), and eventually it becomes more ________________
