A great deal of nonsense is written about the character of a nation, chiefly because many observers, influenced by national pride and prejudices, feel irresistibly tempted to generalize about everything. In a nation of many millions of people, there are bound to be many different kinds: rich and poor, clever and stupid, good and bad, modest and conceited, patient and impatient, honest and dishonest. Moreover, a nation may develop a sort of collective character in its polities and literature which is not recognizable in individual people. Generalizations therefore tend to be unrealistic, and should be made, and accepted, with caution. One word of warning is necessary. The British people who take up appointments in Asia and Africa are not fully typical of their nation. For one thing, they are usually specialists in one field or another. The average British people is not a specialist, and although he can read and write he is not particularly cultured in the intellectual sense. "Highbrow" is a word very often used by the common people of Britain to describe and condemn any form of intellectual culture. Moreover, the great technical achievements of Europeans do not mean that a European is basically more intelligent than an African or Asian. The achievements are due to the handing down and sharing of knowledge and to organized training and research rather than m mental superiority; and of course the mere possession of, say, a motor-car or washing-machine and the ability m operate it, does not require any understanding of how it works.
What does the anther imply by writing the last sentence of the passage?
选项
A、Knowing how to operate a motor-car or washing-machine means a high mental intelligence.
B、The technical achievement of Europeans are because of their intelligence.
C、Only knowing how to operate some modem household appliances does not really mean that they are of real intelligence.
D、Europeans are more intelligent than Africans or Asians because they are of mental superiority.
答案
C
解析
此句中的“any understanding of how it(the machine)works”实指intelligence。
