专四阅读练习试题及答案
Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not
surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school
experience. In one study of 400 adul who had achieved distinction in all areas of
life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in
school or were unhappy in school. Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the
MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their
precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.
Anecdotal ( 名人轶事 ) reports support this. Pablo Picasso, Charles Darwin,
Mark Twain, Oliver Gold smith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school. So did
Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school. About
Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, "Never was so dull a boy." Often
these children realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers
often feel that these children are arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.
Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their,
gifts were not scholastic. Maybe we can account for Picasso in this way. But most
fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found
school unchallenging and consequently lost interest. Yeats described the lack of fit
between his mind and school: "Because I had found it difficult to attend to
anything less interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach.
" As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed
nonconformists. Nonconformity and stubbornness (and Yeatss level of arrogance
and self-absorption) are like ly to lead to Conflicts with teachers.
When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to
the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families
than their schools or teachers. A writing prodigy (神童) studied by David Feldman
and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than
his English teacher. High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gross
had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools. About
half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say
about school. They all did well in school and took honors classes when available,
and some skipped grades.
