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.
In the last paragraph, the author tells us that ______.
选项
A、difficulties are but part of everyone’s life
B、depression and unhappiness are unavoidable in life
C、everybody should learn to avoid trying circumstances
D、good feelings can contribute to eventual academic excellence
答案
A
解析
本题是要点归纳题。根据第4段第2、3、4句的内容:Everyone who is involved with other human in any social context has similar difficulties.Disagreements,conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human.(在任何社会环境中与别人交往,每个人都有困难。意见不合、冲突和妥协是作为人的一部分存在的。)选项A与之相符,是正确答案。选项B干扰性较大,说沮丧与不愉快无法避免,这与原文不符。文章中说:“But some people are able to make it,to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences.”(但有些人能克服,尽管有这些事情发生,他们能避免陷入沮丧和不愉快中不能自拔。)这意味着生活中的沮丧和不愉快是可以避免的。
