单选题Jim Ayers had investigated all manner of felonies in his fourteen-year career with the Oregon State Police. Like most officers who had hired on as troopers, he was tall and well-muscled. He had thick, wavy hair, and a rumbling deep voice. He had worked the road for eight years, investigating accidents. He had seen much tragedy, but he had also learned what was "normal" tragedy—if there could be such a thing—and what was "abnormal" tragedy. Ayers had become an expert in both arson investigation and psychosexual crimes, and he had investigated innumerable homicides. Jerry Finch had a few years on him, both in age and experience. Together the two men drove to the scene at 79th and the Sunset, not knowing what to expect. The best detectives are not tough. If they were, they would not have the special intuitive sense that enables them to see what laymen cannot. But Jim Ayers, like his peers, usually managed to hide his own pain over what one human being can do to another behind a veneer of black humor and professional distance. After arriving at the scene, Finch and Ayers gazed down at the slender woman who lay on the freeway shoulder, her face and head disfigured by some tremendous force. They walked around the Toyota van and saw the scratch—like dents in its right front end and where a mm signal lens was broken out. Randy Blighton was still on the scene and he told Finch and Ayers how he had found the van butting against the median barrier of the freeway. That would have broken the signal light. They found the signal lens itself lying on the freeway in the fast lane. They also saw the beige purse that had been forcing the accelerator down before Bhghton kicked it away. It would have been enough to keep her engine running while the car was in gear. With flashlights Finch and Ayers looked into the van, playing light over the child's carseat, the blood splatter on the interior roof, the splash of blood on the interior hump over the transmission, and the pools of blood on the floor behind the front seats. A white plastic produce bag fluttered on the passenger-side floor. It too bore bloodstains. Jim Ayers had come to a bleak conclusion. The purpose of sending the van onto the highway was to cause it to be hit by other vehicles. Had that happened, had vehicles approaching at fifty-five to sixty-five miles an hour rounded the curve, they would have ineluctably smashed into the driver's side of the van, and even though a fire might not have resulted, the evidence of the woman's body and from the vehicle itself would have been obliterated. Further, in all likelihood, a chain reaction of accidents would have ensued, vehicle after vehicle piling up on this foggy night. Clearly, all whoever had perpetrated this crime cared about was that the crime he covered by a grinding collision of jagged steel, flying glass shards, and a proliferation of bodies.

单选题When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don"t know what to do. The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. He grapples with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully, and if not confidently, at least hopefully; if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one"s self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence, only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of entirely different set of attitudes. Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace it, unite himself with it. There is no wall, no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by the maxim that there is more than one way to skin a cat. If he can"t do something one way, he"ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once; if that try fails, he is through. Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, it is destroyed by the process that we misname education—a process that goes on in most homes and schools.
