The old idea that child prodigies(神童) "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(专利权).
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
. [br] Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
选项
A、Each of the gifted published at least one article.
B、Only half of the talented followed up graduated from all the colleges.
C、Most of the bright children became white collars.
D、Bright men got higher income than bright women.
答案
C
解析
细节推理题。(根据短文,下列哪项是正确的?)选项A(每位天才至少发表过 一篇文章)支持不充分,根据文章第五段“The group had published 90 books and 1,500 articles in sci entific,scholarly,and literary magazines…”但未说每位都发表过;选项B(受调查人当中只有一半取 得了大学毕业文凭)与原文第三段“About 70 percent had graduated from colleges”描述不符;选项D (聪明的男性比聪明的女性收入要高)在原文中并没提及;而选项C(大多数神童长大后成为了白 领阶层中的一员)可以根据第四段“Of the men,80 percent were in one of the professions or in busi ness,managers or semi-professional jobs.The women who had remained single had offices,business,or professional occupations.”推出,因为上述职业基本都属白领阶层,所以正确答案为C。
