The old idea that child prodigies(神童) "burn themselves" or "overtax their brains" in the early years, therefore, are prey to failure and (at worst)mental illness is just a myth. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.
To find this out, 1, 500 gifted persons were followed up to their thirty-fifth year with these results.
On adult intelligence tests, they scored as high as they did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.
About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even flunked out (退学), but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the professions or in business, managers or semi-professional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
The group had published 90 books and 1, 500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents(专利权).
In a material way they didn’t do badly either. Average income was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed.
In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were
turning their early promises into practical reality
.
The main idea of the passage is______.
选项
A、that gifted children were most likely to become bright grown-ups
B、that bright children were unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy
C、how many gifted children turned successful when they grew up
D、that when the bright children grew up, they would become ordinary
答案
A
解析
主旨题。(本文的中心意思是什么?)文章的中心思想一般在首尾段,特别是语 义转折处,往往是作者真实的写作目的。此文第一段中的“As a matter of fact”就是一个语义转折 标志,引出作者观点:“the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very likely to grow into bright adults.”由此可以推断选项A项为正确答案(神童们很有可能长大后依旧十分聪 明);B项(聪明小孩不可能身心健康)与原文第二段第二句“They were,as a group,in good health, physically and mentally.”不相符合;选项C是有关于能长大成为成功人士的神童人数,这显然不是 文章所关注的,因此也不是文章主旨。选项D(当聪明小孩长大以后,他们会变得很普通)也与原 文不相符合。
