The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are 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 had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives.
About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per cent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, 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.
In a material way they did not 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.
In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality.
Questions:
The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years is______.
选项
A、true in all senses
B、refuted by the author
C、medically proven
D、a belief of the author
答案
B
解析
第2题可以在第一段和第二段的内容中找到与正确答案相关的内容。这两部分指出,人们的旧观念认为:天才儿童在其早年时就将才智耗尽了,因此,长大以后他的人生会是失败的人生。最糟糕的,他可能还会得精神病。作者认为这种看法是无稽之谈。事实上,显而易见的是,聪明的孩子长大以后也很可能会成为有才华的成人。为了验证这点,人们跟踪调查了1 500个聪明的孩子,一直到他们长到35岁。然后作者通过具体的数字比例指出旧观念的错误。因此,作者对那种旧观念是进行了反驳。所以,此题的正确答案是B。
