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. . It’ 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 yourself as 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.
According to the passage, what kind of people is rare?
选项
A、Those who don’t emphasize bookish excellence in their pursuit of happiness.
B、Those who are aware of difficulties in life but know how to avoid unhappiness.
C、Those who measure happiness by an absence of problems.
D、Those who are able to secure happiness though having to struggle against life.
答案
B
解析
文中最后一句“懂得困难或灾难在所难免,但不以是否遭遇困难或灾难为快乐的衡量标准,这样的人才是聪明人”,恰与B项“知道生活中有困难存在,但知道如何避免不快乐的人”吻合。D项“尽管要与生活斗争,但仍能保持快乐”,是一个很具迷惑性的选项,但原文指的多是认识层面的态度问题,而D项已落实到行动问题,而且原文没提到“聪明人”和困难斗争的问题。
