Fruit flies who were taught to be smarter than the average fruit fly【C2】______to live shorter lives. This suggests that【C3】______bulbs burn longer, that there is an【C4】______in not being too terrifically bright.

It takes more upkeep, burns more fuel and is slow【C6】______the starting line because it depends on learning—a gradual【C7】______— instead of instinct.

They would try to decide what intelligence in humans is really【C17】______, not merely how much of it there is,【C18】______, they would hope to study a【C19】______question. Are humans actually aware of the world they live in?【C20】______the results are inconclusive.
