Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grand-parents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations . I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’ s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle(谜), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack.
A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
Which of the following statement is true?
选项
A、The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.
B、The author’ s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
C、The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
D、The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.
答案
B
解析
由第一段倒数第二句“Unlike them,Ihad no ear for music and languages.”可推断出作者的兄弟姐妹们都很擅长音乐和语言。其他几项都同文意不相符。
