The old idea that child prodigies "burn themselves" or "overtax their brains" in the early years, therefore, are prey to failure and (at worst) mental illness is just a myth.

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.

解析
turn the promises into reality“把期望变成现实”,对应选项B中的“realizing”,所以正确答案选B。选项A“谋生和信守诺言”,选项C“做他们许诺过的事情”,选项D“做实际工作并正视现实”都与题意不符。故选B。
