问题     The old idea that talented children "burn themselves
out" in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to
failure and at worst, mental illness are unfounded. As a         【S1】______
matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright
kids is that they are likely to grow into bright adults.

they had as children. They were, as a group, in good health,
physically and mentally. 84 percent of their group were
married and seemed content by their lives.                       【S3】______
    About 70 percent had graduated from college, thus            【S4】______
only 30 percent had graduated with honors. A few had eve
dropped down, but nearly half of these had returned to           【S5】______
graduate.
    Of the men, 80 percent were in one of the profession         【S6】______
or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The
women who had remained single had office, business or
professional occupations.
    The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles
in scientific, scholar, and literary magazines and bad           【S7】______
collected more than 100 patents.
    In a material way they did not do badly neither.             【S8】______
Average income was considerably higher among the gifted
people, especially the men, than for the country as a whole,
spite their comparative youth.                                   【S9】______
    In fact, far from strange, most of the gifted were turning   【S10】______
their early promise into practical reality. [br] 【S9】
