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 survey of bright children was made to______.
选项
A、find out what had happened to talented children when they became adults
B、prove that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years
C、discover the percentage of those mentally ill among the gifted
D、prove that talented children never burn themselves out
答案
A
解析
第3题问人们调查那些聪明孩子的目的是为了什么。我们可以利用查阅式阅读法,在文章第一段和第二段中找到相关信息。在这项跟踪调查中,人们观察研究的1 500个聪明的儿童长大成人后多数人仍然很出色,很有成就。因此,本题的正确答案应是A,做这项调查主要是为了了解这些天才儿童长大成人后会有什么变化。
