　　 What is intelligence (智力) anyway? When I was in the army I　 36　 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against　 37　 of 100, scored 160.

　　 I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not　 38　 have scored more than 80.　　 39　 , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him - and he always　 40　 it.

He　 48　 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk　　 49　 him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the　 50　 man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).　 51　 do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, "Why, you fool, he used his　 52　 and asked for them. I' ve been　 53　 that on all my customers today, but I knew　 54　 I'd catch you. "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you are so goddamned educated, Doc. I knew you couldn't be very　 55　 ."

　　 And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.
