Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems; to read, write and compute at certain levels; and to resolve abstract equations quickly. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment. It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has
brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent. " Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day.
If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it’s worth, then you are an intelligent person. Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N.B.D. — Nervous Break Down.
"Intelligent" people do not have N.B.D. s because they are in charge of themselves. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.
You can begin to think of yourselves truly intelligent on the basis of how you choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human-beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings. But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N.B.D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don’t measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.
The author thinks that an intelligent person knows ______.
选项
A、how to put up with some very prevalent myths
B、how to find the best way to achieve success
C、how to avoid depression and make his life worthwhile
D、how to persuade others to compromise
答案
C
解析
本题是综合分析判断题。选项A与文章内容相悖,文章说要摒弃某些很流行的说法(putting rest some very prevalent myths),而不是要忍耐这些说法。选项B和选项D的内容在文章中均未提到,故只有选项C是正确答案。另外,也可以根据第2段第1句来推断:“If you are happy,if you live each moment for everything it’s worth,then you are an intelligent person.”(如果你感到愉快,如果你每时每刻为所有值得的事物活着,你就是一个聪明的人。)
