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.

D、doing practical jobs and facing reality

解析
句子语义题。(划线部分“turning their early promises into practical reality”最可 能的意思是什么?)抓住关键短语“turn the promises into reality”(把期望变成现实)就可在选项B 中找到它的同义替代词“realize”,所以答案选B。选项A(挣得生活所需及恪守诺言)、C(做他们许 诺过的事情)及D(做实际工作并正视现实)都与题意相差甚远。
