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 young Gauss’s legend is cited as an example to testify children’s

推断题。引用童年高斯的传奇故事主要的用意在最后一段有较为明确的说明。作者提出,也许你把该道题目讲给身边的孩子,就可能发现一位像高斯一样的天才。这说明儿童的“潜质”是难以想象的,故[D]为答案。[B]和[C]均是对原文某些词汇的浅层理解,不符合作者的实际用意,故排除;[A]较有迷惑性,但分析上下文可知作者主要强调的是孩子们令大人想象不到的潜质,而不仅仅是其反应机敏,故[A]不是最佳答案。
