Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: If you ask Americans whether or not they think their former president George W. Bush is smart, most of them will probably tell you they don't think so. However, Bush's IQ score is estimated to be above 120, which puts him in the top ten percent of the population. It doesn't seem to make sense. How come someone with such an IQ score is not considered smart? Researchers say: IQ does not tell the whole story. Some people have high IQ scores, but still they can be poor thinkers and decision-makers. Keith Stanovich, a Canadian professor of human development and applied psychology, has been looking into the "clever fools" phenomenon for 15 years. He says IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties , including logic, learning ability, working-memory capacity (how much information you can hold in mind), etc. Those faculties play a part in one's academic success, but rational thinking is more important for us to make good judgments in real-life situations. IQ tests fail to work when it comes to rational thinking. That's because they are unable to assess things such as a person's ability to weigh up information, or whether an individual can set aside the cognitive biases that may be misleading. "A high IQ is like height in a basketball player," says David Perkins, who studies thinking and reasoning skills at Harvard University. "It is very important, all other things being equal. But all other things aren't equal. It takes a lot more to be a good basketball player than being tall, and it takes a lot more to be a good thinker than having a high IQ." Question: We know from the text that _ - the former president George W. Bush has a high IQ score - many Americans think their former president George W. Bush is smart - David Perkins believe that a person's IQ doesn't need to be developed - Keith Stanovich looked into the "clever fools" phenomenon 5 years ago
(Answer)
the former president George W. Bush has a high IQ score

Question: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Plans to expand wind energy into the most scenic parts of Germany are meeting increasing opposition across the country. Anti-wind campaigners are angry that areas including the forests made famous by the tales of the Brothers Grimm are among the targets for new turbines . For the first time they have formed a national opposition group to _ the expansion. They say the expansion will damage forests and tourism across the country. Germany has started a massive expansion of renewable energy since the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011 in Japan. The government decided to reduce atomic plants and instead increase the opportunities for green power. As a result, solar farms, biogas plants and wind parks are booming. In 2013, 22% of Germany's electricity was generated by renewable energy. Wind has played a major part in this change, making up half of the renewable energy in 2013, and the public has been generally supportive. To date, a majority of the 23,000 wind turbines in the country have been built in the flat northern and eastern parts of the country. But now the focus of expansion is on the areas of dark forest in the central and southern areas of Germany. One such region is the Rheinhardswald in the northern part of the state of Hesse. This is the home of the magical tales of Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel and others, made famous in the books of the Brothers Grimm. This scenic place is a magnet, attracting hundreds and thousands of tourists from all over the world. But now there are also plans to build up to 200 turbines in this scenic place! Ann-Kathrin Blankenberg is a PhD student and an opponent of the plans. "It is not because this is the area of Sleeping Beauty," she says, "I want the green movement, I want green technology, I don't want nuclear power--- but they should be made in the right way and not by destroying the forests." The campaigners argue that putting wind turbines in this area makes no sense. The wind speeds are low and the area is home to some extremely rare birds including the endangered black... Question: What is the main idea of the passage? _ . - Wind parks are increasing rapidly all over Germany. - The Rheinhardswald is famous for the tales of Sleeping Beauty. - Expanding wind energy into the land of Sleeping Beauty causes controversy. - Building wind turbines in the land of Sleeping Beauty area makes no sense.
