Parents often wonder what their little ones are absorbing from them. For example, my mother had a wonderful vocabulary. So it may be more than a family fable that when I was asked as a two-year-old whether I was wet, I allegedly responded, "No, I’m saturated.
I was reminded of preposterously precocious utterances during a brief talk that string theorist Brian Greene gave. He said he sometimes wondered about how much information small children pick up from standard dinner-table conversation in a given home. When he hugged his three-year-old daughter and told her he loved her more than anything in the universe, to which she replied, "The universe or the multiverse?" Closer to home, my seven-year-old grandnephew has often exhibited an interest in various science and math topics.
Of course, not all children are destined for a life in the sciences. Many, if not most, seem well suited, if you will, for the law. Take the case of another seven-year-old of my acquaintance who was given " five more minutes" by her parents to enjoy the beach. When they sounded the alarm to leave, she announced that it was simply unfeasible for that much time to have passed: "that wath like 10 thecondth," she explained. Of course, it is possible that she had been moving at relativistic speeds, in which case both she and her parents could have been correct.
After I turned this column in to Scientific American editor in chief Mariette DiChristina, she told a story about her then five-year-old daughter Mallory’s ability to calculate rapidly. Mallory wondered aloud how old Mariette would be when Mallory reached her mom’s age, 42 at the time. "Let’s see...," Mariette began. Then Mallory answered her own question, laughing at her mother’s silliness for even bothering to try to do the math, " Oh, Mom, you’ll be dead! "
The young people discussed so far are obviously charming and insightful. And yet for truly scary little, kid brain activity, it’s hard to beat the very young Carl Friedrich Gauss. As legend has it, the budding mathematician was in grade school when his instructor assigned him the mundane task of adding up all the numbers from 1 to 100. The teacher might have been hoping to catch some zzz’s in the corner while Gauss would be busy adding 1 to 2 to get 3 , then 3 to that sum to get 6, then 4 to that sum to get 10. But just a moment passed—perhaps merely 10 thecondth—before Gauss announced that the answer was 5,050. Which it sure is.
If you don’t know how he did it, just search the Web using the terms "Gauss" and "series. " Or give the problem to a little one. If you get a correct answer almost instantly, he or she might be one of the smartest kids in the multiverse. [br] The "five more minutes" story in Paragraph Three indicates
选项
A、children’s unique way of sense.
B、children’s interest in science.
C、children’s love of leisure time.
D、children’s understanding of relativism.
答案
A
解析
推断题。对第三段讲述的故事所说明的观点,应注意该段最后一句。根据该句的深层意义,这个事例表明儿童有自己对时间和生活节奏的独特感受方式,因此[A]为答案。该段第一句已经点明本段不是讲述儿童对科学的认知问题,易排除[B];[C]与本文主题无关,也应排除;而[D]则曲解了最后一句话中的“she had been moving at relativistic speeds”,故也排除。
