It was Christmas Day 1999. On CNN, talk show host(节目主持人)Larry King was interviewing Stephen Hawking.

"What, professor, 　　(1)　 　you the most?" King asked. "What do you think about the most?"

Hawking immediately replied, "　 (2)　 ."

It's a comfort to know that Hawking, one of the 　　(3)　 　men in the world, is puzzled by the opposite sex. But, that's not 　　(4)　 , according to Satoshi Kanazawa. Bright people are 　　(5)　 　better than anyone else at making smart decisions in common things, he says.

In one test, a psychologist took a group of subjects(受实验者)on a hike, walking into the forest. He then told them to find their way back. The high IQ people were no more likely to be able to find out 　　(19)　 　they were. In another experiment, a researcher asked people to find their way to a specific location in a computer maze(迷宫).　 (20)　 , high IQ did not give them any edge(优势).
