Question

When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores in certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or anxious situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.

　　 For example, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it. He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he can’t make things work out right, he doesn’t feel ashamed that he fails; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook(人生觀) on life, special feeling about life, and knows how he fits into it.

　 If you look at children, you’ll see great difference between what we call “bright” children and “not bright” children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amounts of intelligence. For example, the bright child really wants to find out more about life --- he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.

【解析】

試題分析：本文主要講述了什么才是真正的聰明這一話題。

1.本文主要講述了什么才是真正的聰明這一話題，而其他選項過于片面。故選A。

2.根據文章最后一段最后兩句可知，聰明的孩子想真正了解生活，他努力接觸身邊的一切事物；而不聰明的孩子則脫離生活，讓自己的生活限制在一個封閉和自我夢境的世界里。他們對待生活的態(tài)度是截然不同的，由此可推知C項正確。故選C。

3.文章已經探討了聰明的含義以及什么樣的人是聰明的，故排除A項和C項；文章的中心思想并未涉及教育問題，故排除B項；故選D項(如何教導不聰明的人)很可能是作者接下來要討論的話題。故選B。
