"Just wait,“ a neighbour advised. "You'll wake up one morning and spring will just be here.And look, on May 3 that year I awoke to a green so amazing as to be almost electric, as if spring were simply a matter of flipping a switch. Hills, the sky and the forest revealed their purples, blues and greens. Leaves had unfolded and daffodils were fighting their way heavenward.Then there was the old apple tree. It sits on an undeveloped lot in my neighbourhood. It belongs to no one and therefore to everyone. The tree's dark twisted branches stretch out in unpruned （未经彳修剪的）abandon. Each spring it blossoms so freely that the air becomes full of the scent of apple.Until last year, I thought I was the only one aware of this tree. And then one day, in a bit of spring madness, I set out with pruner to remove a few disorderly branches. No sooner had I arrived under the tree than neighbours opened their windows and stepped onto their porches （门廊）.These were people I barely knew and seldom spoke to, but it was as if I had come uninvited into their personal gardens.My mobile-home neighbour was the first to speak. "You're not cutting it down, are you?” she asked anxiously. Another neighbour frowned as I cut off a branch. "Don't kill it, now," he warned.Soon half the neighbourhood joined me under the apple tree. It struck me that I had lived there for five years and only now was learning these people's names, what they did for a living and how they passed the winter. It was as if the old apple tree was gathering us under its branches for the purpose of both acquaintanceship and shared wonder. I couldn't help recalling Robert Frosfs words:The trees that have it in their pent-up budsTo darken nature and be summer woodsOne thaw led to another. Just the other day I saw one of my neighbors at the local store. He remarked how this recent winter had been especially long and complained of not having seen or spoken at length to anyone in our neighbourhood.

As a professor of psychology at Utah Valley University, he wasn't looking fbr insight, but fbr mistakes and he found plenty. Some of the worst concerned IQ tests. "The most common inaccuracy I found, by far, was the claim that intelligence tests are biased againstcertain groups J he says. Yet intelligence researchers are at pains to ensure that IQ tests are fair and not culturally biased. "Another very common one was the idea that intelligence is difficult to measure.”No wonder IQ tests often cause disagreements. But that simply isn't the case. "Despite the criticism, the intelligence test is one of the most reliable tests ever invented,says Rex Jung at the University of New Mexico. Nevertheless, you shouldn't trust the kind of 1 O-minute test that might pop up in your social media feed.A comprehensive IQ test takes over an hour and is ideally administered by a professional examiner. It is designed to assess precisely those cognitive skills that constitute intelligence, so it consists of a series of subtests that cover reasoning, mental processing speed, spatial ability and more. Shorter IQ tests, assessing fewer of these skills, can still provide a general indication of someone's mental abilities, however, because of the nature of intelligence, it means that someone who scores highly on one type of cognitive test will also do comparatively well on others.However, particular applications of IQ tests have faced a thorough inspection. A common criticism of using them to select job applicants is that they only measure certain cognitive skills. They don't scientifically measure creativity, for instance. Neither do they measure personality, which tends to make for reliable and hard-working employees or ability to get on with other people. However, it is rare for examiners to test IQ independently: candidates might be given a personality test too and a practical exercise to assess job-related skills. They usually also have to name several professionals to judge.46. What does the underlined words “biased against“ in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Unfamiliar to.B. Irrelevant to.C. Unfavorable for.D. Irresponsible for.47. What does Rex Jung think of the intelligence tests?A. They are inaccurate.B. They are trustworthy.C. They are properly used.D. They are precisely designed.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. According to intelligence researchers, IQ tests are not fair at all.B. Thanks to the criticism, the intelligence test has been the most reliable tests ever invented.C. If IQ tests last shorter and the fewer skills are assessed, we nearly know nothing.D. If IQ tests are more comprehensive, the test result will be more precise.49. What can we infer about IQ tests in the last paragraph?B. They are heavily criticized.D. They can motivate creativity.B. Applications of IQ testsD. Can IQ tests shape persona
