They learn to read at age 2, play Bach at 4, breeze through calculus at 6, and speak foreign languages fluently by 8. Their classmates shudder with envy; their parents rejoice at winning the lottery. But to paraphrase T. S. Eliot, their careers tend to end not with a bang, but with a whimper.
Consider the nation’s most prestigious award for scientifically gifted high school students, the Westinghouse Science Talent Search, called the Super Bowl of Science by one American president. From its inception in 1942 until 1994, the search recognized more than 2, 000 outstanding teenagers as finalists. But just 1 percent ended up making the National Academy of Sciences, and just eight have won Nobel Prizes.
Child prodigies rarely become adult geniuses who change the world. We assume that they must lack the social and emotional skills to function in society. 【R1】______
What holds them back is that they don’t learn to be original. They strive to earn the approval of their parents and the admiration of their teachers. But as they perform in Carnegie Hall and become chess champions, something unexpected happens: Practice makes perfect, but it doesn’t make new.
The gifted learn to play magnificent Mozart melodies, but rarely compose their own original scores. They focus their energy on consuming existing scientific knowledge, not producing new insights. They conform to codified rules, rather than inventing their own. 【R2】______
In adulthood, many prodigies become experts in their fields and leaders in their organizations. Yet "only a fraction of gifted children eventually become revolutionary adult creators, " laments the psychologist Ellen Winner. "Those who do must make a painful transition to an adult who ultimately remakes a domain." Most prodigies never make that leap. They apply their extraordinary abilities by shining in their jobs without making waves. 【R3】______
So what does it take to raise a creative child? One study compared the families of children who were rated among the most creative 5 percent in their school system with those who were not unusually creative. 【R4】______.
Creativity may be hard to nurture, but it’ s easy to thwart. By limiting rules, parents encouraged their children to think for themselves. They tended to "place emphasis on moral values, rather than on specific rules, " the Harvard psychologist Teresa Amabile reports.
【R5】______When psychologists compared America’s most creative architects with a group of highly skilled but unoriginal peers, there was something unique about the parents of the creative architects: "Emphasis was placed on the development of one’ s own ethical code."
[A]Even then, though, parents didn’ t shove their values down their children’ s throats.
[B]The parents of ordinary children had an average of six rules, like specific schedules for homework and bedtime. Parents of highly creative children had an average of fewer than one rule.
[C]If you want your children to bring original ideas into the world, you need to let them pursue their passions, not yours.
[D]When you look at the evidence, though, this explanation doesn’t suffice: Less than a quarter of gifted children suffer from social and emotional problems. A vast majority are well adjusted—as winning at a cocktail party as in the spelling bee.
[E]They become doctors who heal their patients without fighting to fix the broken medical system or lawyers who defend clients on unfair charges but do not try to transform the laws themselves.
[F]Research suggests that the most creative children are the least likely to become the teacher’s pet, and in response, many learn to keep their original ideas to themselves. In the language of the critic William Deresiewicz, they become the excellent sheep.
[G]Top concert pianists didn’t have elite teachers from the time they could walk; their first lessons came from instructors who happened to live nearby and made learning fun.
【R2】
选项
答案
F
解析
文章第五段主要讲一些富有天赋的孩子通常遵循已经建立好的规则,而不是创造自己的。空格前的inventing与F项中的creative呼应,F项主要讲富有创造力的孩子的表现——保留自己最原本的想法,变成了杰出的温顺绵羊。这与第五段的内容相符。干扰项为G项Top concert pianists(顶尖的钢琴演奏家),但G项主要讲的是成为大家的人最初的老师资源,与该段内容无关。
