According to the studies, what’s the percentage of eccentrics?
Dr. David Weeks is a psychologist at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital in Scotland. He has done several major studies into eccentricity and thinks that around one in 10,000 people are eccentric. They share some common traits. One link is that they are very happy people and their curiosity is the major aspect of that happiness. They get very obsessed with subjects and topics they are interested in. Their curiosity knows no limits and this is important because, as far as we know, curiosity is the only intellectual motivation.
Dr. Weeks claims that "eccentric" people have produced some of history’s major ideas. From time to time, they may seem to be absurd or even silly, but they have some very important ideas, like discovering a major antibiotic. He believes that there is a link between eccentricity and genius. A high proportion of geniuses behave in an unusual way and so appear eccentric to others. Geniuses and eccentrics are linked in other ways. They share a high IQ, for instance, and have very creative ideas.
Is them a bad side to being eccentric Dr. Weeks’ studies suggest that eccentrics can have romantic problems. Many of their attempted relationships do tend to break down. He says that, over a lifetime, they have more relationships than the average person. But they are always very friendly with their previous partners.
And are great eccentrics a dying breed? Dr. Weeks believes that eccentricity may increase as people all over the world have more leisure time. He says that in societies where there is more money and free time and where people have more power to do what they want, the number of eccentrics increases.

本题可以用排除法来选择。说"They show no interest in many subjects"与听力材料观点不一致,原文为"They get very obsessed with subjects and topics they are interested in",可以看出他们对很多话题都感兴趣,有好奇心。说"They are linked with genius in some ways"与听力内容相符,原文说"He believes that there is a link between eccentricity and genius.A high proportion of geniuses behave in an unusual way and so appear eccentric to others"。"They don’t have many relationships"与听力内容"He says that,over a lifetime,they have more relationships than the average person"不相符。"They are a dying breed"与文章最后的内容不一致,"Dr. Weeks believes that eccentricity may increase as people all over the world have more leisure time.He says that in societies where there is more money and free time and where people have more power to do what they want,the number of eccentrics increases"。
