The old idea that child prodigies "burn themselves" or "overtax their brains" in the early years, therefore, are prey to failure and (at worst) mental illness is just a myth. 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 flunked out (退学) , 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 semi-professional jobs. The women who had remained single had offices, business, or professional occupations.
The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in scientific, scholarly, and literary magazines and had collected more than 100 patents.
In a material way they didn’t do badly either. Average income 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
.
The adult intelligence tests showed that______.
选项
A、bright children do not become bright adults
B、between childhood and adulthood there is a considerable loss of intelligence
C、bright children were mostly also bright adults
D、as adults the gifted make much lower scores on intelligence tests
答案
C
解析
A选项“聪明的孩子长大后不一定聪明”;B选项“从小孩到大人,存在相当大的智商缺失”;D选项“在智商测试中,成年才子的智商比以前低得多”都与第三段第一句“On adult intelligence tests,they scored as high as they did as children."矛盾,只有C选项“聪明的孩子通常成人后照样聪明”与其相符,故选C。
