Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist; one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of born worlds. [br] Which of the following statement is true?
选项
A、The author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.
B、The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
C、The author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
D、The author spent a lot of time working on riddles.
答案
B
解析
文章并未提到天生的博物学家是否能做科学家,只是说自己缺少做科学家的潜质,所以选项A错误。定位到第一段可知,我的兄弟姐妹擅长音乐和语言,所以选项B正确。文中并未提到作者阅读石油工业的书籍,所以选项C错误。D选项未提及。故选B。
