Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100 books to read ".Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?

Now you have a list to end all lists!

Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":

Swim with Dolphins（海豚）?

Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities.However, every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming pushing around them in the water.Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).

Here’s a little secret.Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening mouths.

Go to See the Mona Lisa?

There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile.The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong after all.But they can be quite annoying standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything.In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons.After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds most.

If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she laughing.

Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some common beliefs. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations (方程式) quickly. This vision of intelligence asserts (断言) formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who is very good at some form of school discipline is ''intelligent''. Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the professional certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment.

If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it's worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to solve a particular problem you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D. — Nervous Break Down.

''Intelligent'' people do not have N.B.D.s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.

You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to actually all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid abandoning themselves to depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have N.B.D.s. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.

1.According to the author, the notion of intelligence measured in terms of one's ability to read, write and compute _____________.

A.will help remove intellectual prejudice B.is a widely held but wrong concept

C.will contribute to one’s self-fulfillment D.is the root of all mental suffering

2.It is implied in the passage that holding a university degree _____________.

A.does not mean that one is highly intelligent

B.may make one mentally sick and physically weak

C.does not indicate one's ability to write professional documents

D.may result in one's inability to solve complex real-life problems

3.The author thinks that an intelligent person knows _____________.

A.how to accept some common beliefs

B.how to persuade others to compromise

C.how to find the best way to achieve success in life

D.how to avoid depression and make his life worthwhile

4.According to the last paragraph, which statement is TRUE?

A.Difficulties are part of everyone's life.

B.Depression and unhappiness are unavoidable in life.

C.Everybody should learn to avoid challenging circumstances.

D.Good feelings can contribute to eventual academic excellence.
