问题     When we talk about intelligence, 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, especially in a new or upsetting 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 instance, 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 he 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 can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.
    If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call "bright" children and "not-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.
According to this passage, intelligence is______.
选项 A、the ability to study well
B、the ability to do well in school
C、the ability to deal with life
D、the ability to get high scores on some tests
答案C
解析 本题主要考查考生对具体词义及细节的把握。答案对应文章第一段前两句话“当我们谈论智力时，我们并不是指在某类测试中获得好成绩或者在学校里获得好成绩的能力。提起智力，我们指的是一种生活和行为方式”。所以选C，生存的能力。
