问题     The old idea that child prodigies (神童) "burn themselves" or "overtax their brains" in the early years, therefore, are prey to failure and ( at worst ) mental illness is just a myth. (77) As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is that they are very 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 did as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. Eighty-four percent of their group were married and seemed content with their life.
    About 70 percent had graduated from colleges, though only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, 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 semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
    The group has published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents (专利权)
    In a material way they didn’t do badly either. (78) Average in come was considerably higher among the gifted people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole, despite their comparative youth when last surveyed.
    In fact, far from being strange, maladjusted (难以适应) people locked in an ivory tower, most of the gifted were turning their early promises into practical reality.
选项 A、how many gifted children turned successful when they grew up.
B、That bright children were unlikely to be physically and mentally healthy.
C、That gifted children were most likely to become bright grown—ups.
D、That when the bright children grew up, they would become ordinary.
答案C
解析 本篇文章主要是为了说明在儿时智力出众的人在以后也有很大的可能成为杰出的成年人，在第一段的这句话中体现的最为明显：the outstanding thing that happens to bright children is  that they are very likely to grow into bright adults(经常发生在超常智力的小孩子身上的事情是它们以后很有可能会成为出众的成年人)所以，本题的答案应该是C
