Question

15．Unless you think you're the smartest，who doesn't want to be smarter？Of course I want to be smarter too，so I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from．（36）D．Here are the signs of smart people：
They don't talk as much as you，because they know they got smart by listening．
They probably do social media．Not always，but probably．（37）A They also use this to ensure they can feed their brains with things they otherwise won't have come across．
^（38）F They never bother their head about the problem of"work-life balance"and somehow manage to seem 100% employed in what they're doing，even though you know they're taking proper steps behind the scenes to make sure their lives are well balanced．
They know they are the smartest person in the room，but they don't spend their time talking about that．
（39）B That is，they challenge themselves to see if they can make everyone else the smartest person in the room，too．
They never，ever，under any circumstances，make you look stupid，even though it would be easy to do so．They've learned through bitter experience that the only thing that happens when you make someone look bad is that you look bad yourself．
If they are managers，they will make every effort to get their people smarter，more connected and more popular than them in their teams．They're not threatened because they know that smartness is synergistic （相互促進的）．（40）G

A．It is not only another chance to listen．

F．They deal with home，work and personal interests perfectly．

分析 本文是一篇說明文閱讀，作者通過這篇文章主要介紹了聰明人的特征．

解答 36．D  細節理解題，本空承接上文，并引出下文內容，空前提到"So I try to find out who's the real smart guy that maybe I can learn from"，下文羅列了一些聰明人的特征，故本空填D項"現在我對一個人是否聰明已經有答案了"，故選D
37．A  細節理解題，根據語境可知，下句中的"this"指代的是"a chance to listen"，而且A項中的"not only"與下句中的"also"呼應，故選A．
38．F  細節理解題，本空總結本段的內容，是本段的主旨句．根據下文中的"work-life balance""make sure their lives are well balanced"可知，本段講的聰明人的特征就是"他們能完美地處理家庭、工作和個人愛好（之間的關系）"，故選F．
39．B  細節理解題，下文中的"they challenge themselves"與C項中的"as a personal challenge"相呼應，故選B．
