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.

答案
B
解析
turn the promises into reality“把期望变成现实”,对应选项B中的“realizing”,所以正确答案选B。选项A“谋生和信守诺言”,选项C“做他们许诺过的事情”,选项D“做实际工作并正视现实”都与题意不符。故选B。
