When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school．By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation．If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do．

For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him．He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it．He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries．And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes．An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it．

If you look at children，you’ll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children．They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence．For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him．But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general．

1.According to this passage，intelligence is the ability to__________．

A．get some high scores on some tests

B．do well in school

C．deal with life

D．have a lot of book knowledge

2.In a new situation，an intelligent person________．

A．knows more about what might happen to him

B．is sure of the result he will get

C．cares more about himself

D．keeps his mind on what to do about the situation

3.If an intelligent person failed，he would_______．

B．learn from his mistakes

C．try to find all he could

D．make sure what result he would get

4.Bright children and non-bright children________．

The word“day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year,　 we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night,　 we are using“day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball,　 the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights.
