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. 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 part of what it means to be a 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
主旨题。文章最后一段指出,我们每个人的人生奋斗目标都非常相似,每个与任何社会环境中的其他人有关联的人都面临着相同的困难;争执、冲突与妥协是成为人生的一部分;金钱、衰老、疾病、死亡、自然灾害与事故等实际上是给所有人带来问题的所有事情。这说明,作者认为,在人生的奋斗中都会有艰辛、困苦,这些都只是一个人生活中的一部分。这与A项的意思相符。B明显不符合文章的意思;文中没有提到C、D。
