The unique role of language

H uman beings may be the most intelligent animal species, and our intelligence somehow is manifested by the degree of sophisticate (1) of the language we use. It is language that able (2) us to communicate feelings and thoughts, to tell stories and even lies. Language, both in its oral and write (3) forms, provides a really fascinate (4) object of study. Why? Perhaps because of its unique role in capturing the

broad (5) of human thought and endeavor.

We look around us and are awed by the vary (6) of several thousands languages, expressing a multiply (7) of worldviews and lifestyles. Yet writing and reading were not always skills to be taken for granted. For every nation, the most precious inherit (8) is the national language serve (9) in folklore and literature.

Our precede (10) have contributed a lot to our intelligence providing us with greater brain power compared to that of early humans. Though learning different languages isn’t direct (11) related to intelligence, it turns out to be benefit (12) for developing a versatile person (13). There is also scientific evidence that taking up a foreign language as a leisure activity can help maintenance (14) brain power especially in later years.

Iq (intelligence quotient)

Curiosity (1) enough, Intelligence Quotient tests have been around for nearly a hundred years now, though their use (2) is still much debated. The first tests were device (3) in France in the early twentieth century, but their apply (4) was restricted to children until World War II, when tests were given to two million American military recruits. The tests value (5) both general knowledge and the ability to reason logic (6), and the results were used to decide who should get which job, and to identity (7) the most intelligent recruits for training as promise (8) army officers. Their use greatly expansion (9) when the war ended.

The vast major (10) of people have something around the average IQ of about a hundred. Only two per cent are at the genius level of 130 or more. Interest (11), more women tend to score around average, while men show more scattered results. There are fewer women than men at the genius level, but fewer at the bottom as well, a fact from which any number of conclude (12) can be drawn. It’s also a matter of controversial (13) that East Asians perform better on IQ tests than Europeans; although no one has so far been able to offer a

Age and performance

The initial peak of perform (1) occurs in the mid 30s, but the late peak occurs in late 50s. The precision (2) point at which peak performance occurs depends on the field: it is earlier in more abstraction (3) fields of mathematics and theory (4) physics and later in such pragmatic special (5) as biology and geology. The double-peak phenomenon occurred in all groups of engineers and science (6) and the gap between the two peaks is not sign (7). There are many examples of late-life create (8) in art (9) and scientific fields. For example, S. Freud remained act (10) into his 80s, B. Franklin invention (11) bifocal lenses when he was 78, and Titian completed his major masterpiece at 95 and

concept (12) another at 97.
