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.. It’ s 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 a part of what it means to be 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.
According to the author, the conventional notion of intelligence measured in terms of one’ s ability to read, write and compute
选项
A、is a widely held but wrong concept.
B、will help eliminate intellectual prejudice.
C、is the root of all mental distress.
D、will contribute to one’ s self-fulfillment.
答案
A
解析
第一段第二句和第三句告诉我们“聪明”的传统定义,接着告诉我们这一定义所带来的不好的后果,传统定义所认为的“聪明人”很多都过着很不快乐的生活,据此判断A项为正确答案。B项与原文意思相反。C项与原文意思不符,在作者看来,聪明因素不在于传统意义上的读,写,计算等能力,但读写能力并不一定就是带来精神沮丧的根源,故C项不对。D项不符原文意思。
