The old idea that talented children "burn themselves out" in the early years, and, therefore, are subjected to failure and at worst, mental illness is unfounded. As a matter of fact, the outstanding thing that happens to bright kids is that they are 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 had as children. They were, as a group, in good health, physically and mentally. 84 per cent of their group were married and seemed content with their lives.
About 70 per cent had graduated from college, though only 30 per cent had graduated with honors. A few had even dropped out, but nearly half of these had returned to graduate.
Of the men, 80 per cent were in one of the professions or in business management or semiprofessional jobs. The women who had remained single had office, 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.
In a material way they did not 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.
In fact, far from being strange, most of the gifted were turning their early promise into practical reality.
Questions: [br] Intelligence tests showed that______.
选项
A、bright children were unlikely to be mentally healthy
B、between childhood and adulthood there was a considerable loss of intelligence
C、talented children were most likely to become gifted adults
D、when talented children grew into adults, they made low scores

解析
第4题问智力测验表明了什么。此题为具体细节题,我们可以利用查阅式阅读法,在文章的第二段中找到与此题相关的信息。文章指出,智力测验表明那些成年人的得分不比他们幼年时的得分少,是同样高的。而且这些人从总体上来看,在身体、婚姻和生活等方面都很不错。所以,本题的正确答案应是C:聪明的儿童长大后很可能会成为有才华的成人。
