Violin prodigies, I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists, the reason for this phenomenon. "It is very clear," he told me. "They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage." As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.
Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field and is able to nurture talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. "In Japan, a most competitive society with stronger discipline than ours," says Isaac Stern, "children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well." The Korean and Chinese, as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.
That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biologies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J.S. Bath, for example, was the top of the several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music. [br] Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that _________.
选项
A、enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellence
B、treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full development
C、encourage people to complete with each other
D、promise talented children high positions
答案
B
解析
从文中对“nurturing societies”的举例解释中,考生可以分析出那是一种重视天赋且尽力发展天赋的社会。因此正确答案应该选B。
