Newsreader: Good evening. Here is the news for Wednesday, 25 October. Child B — the girl who was refused treatment for leukemia by her local health authority — has been named as 11-year-old Jayme Bowen. The court today lifted the ban on using her name. The case first hit the headlines in March, when the local health authority refused to pay the 75,000 pounds that was needed for her treatment. They believed that it would be a waste of money, because she had very little
chance of surviving. Jayme eventually received the treatment after an anonymous donor provided the money. Today smiling and happy, Jayme faced the cameras for the first time. She was asked what she would say, if she was sitting next to the chief executive of the health authority, who had made the decision about her treatment.
Jayme: I wouldn?t say anything to him. I?d just go over there and whack him one. Then I?d say “Thank you for nothing, because now look at me. I?m fine. You could have paid for it. You had the chance and you blew it.”
Newsreader: Jayme is not yet completely cured. ?When she started her treatment,
doctors put her chances of survival at 10 per cent. Now they?re 20 to 30 per cent. But Jayme had this message for everyone.
Jayme: I say never give up hope unless you are on the last little drop of life you have in you. Never give up, because if you give up you will just end up with nothing left.
Newsreader: That?s the news. Thank you for joining us.

For over 20 years, there has been a debate about intelligence: what is it, who has it and how do we measure it? The argument is fueled by findings from two camps of research. One group looks at the statistics and biology of IQ and tries to determine how much of intelligence a person is born with. The other group focuses on environment and points out the changing of intelligence and the unfairness of IQ tests. Unfortunately, the two lines of study seldom meet because their methods are so different. Rarely does one group communicate with the other.
Therefore ordinary people are on the outside of the debate. They rely on their personal beliefs about intelligence. The only trouble is our theories of intelligence are too narrowly constructed. They tend to ignore existing data, even though a lot of data exists on the topic.
At the very least, intelligence can be defined as the ability for complex thinking and reasoning. One thing the research shows for sure: much of the ability for complex
reasoning depends on the situation. A person can be a genius at the racetrack but a fool in the stock market, even though both require comparable mental activities. But the
knowledge is organized in the mind differently in different areas, so what a person knows about the racetrack can lie inactive on Wall Street.
20多年来，已经有争论的智慧：它是什么，谁拥有它，我们如何衡量？争论是由于发现了两个阵营的研究。一组看生物智商的统计和试图确定有多少人是出世与情报。另一组研究环境，指出智力变化和智商测试的不公平。不幸的是，这两条线的研究很少见面是因为他们的方法是如此不同。很少有一组与其他沟通。
因此，普通人在辩论的外面。他们依靠他们的个人信念的情报。唯一的问题是我们的智力理论过于狭隘地构造。他们往往忽略现有的数据，即使在存在大量数据的话题。
至少，情报可以被定义为复杂的思维和推理能力。一个研究表明，肯定的：很多复杂的推理能力取决于形势。一个人可以是一个天才，在赛道上但在股票市场的一个傻瓜，虽然都需要类似的心理活动。但知识是由大脑不同区域的不同，那么一个人知道跑道可以躺不在华尔街。
Green Gardens restaurant has an unusual worker at the cash register:
2-year-old Gordon Tan. “He can do the credit card machine too,” said his mother, Tiffany Lei, who is the owner of the restaurant.
It was a busy day in January at the restaurant when Gordon first climbed up onto a chair, took customers? tickets, rang up totals on the register, took the cash, then counted out their change — correctly, Lei said. Earlier that month, he had celebrated his second birthday.
Gordon?s father said the toddler can tell credit cards from debit cards. He swipes them and enters the four-digit code to complete the sale.
When Gordon?s not at the register, he?s walking around the restaurant helping with day-to-day operations. He runs to the back of the store to tell his parents how many customers just walked in. He knows the number assigned to each table, so he knows where to seat them, too.
When they run out of shrimp — “shah shah” in Chinese — Gordon runs into the kitchen and yells, “No shah shah!” Customers were amazed the first time they saw him at the register. One waitress at the restaurant said Gordon?s performance is doubly amazing: first when Gordon rings up customers? tickets, then they count their money and find that he has got it right.
Some families visit the restaurant just to watch the boy. And they bring him presents.
Gordon?s parents encourage and correct him if he gets something wrong. At the register, he?ll tell them to leave him alone — he can do it himself.
His mother is glad for the help she gets from Gordon. She is pregnant with a baby girl due in May. But soon, however, Gordon won?t have as much time to help out. He?ll be starting day care.
