When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get a good score on a certain kind of test, or even the ability to do well in school. These are at best only indications of something larger, deeper, and far more important. By intelligence we mean a style of life, a way of behaving in various situations. The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don’t know what to do.
The intelligent person, young or old, meeting a new situation or problem, opens himself up to it. He tries to take in with mind and senses everything he can about it. He thinks about it, instead of about himself or what it might cause to happen to him. He grapples (搏斗) with it boldly, imaginatively, resourcefully (机智地) , and if not confidently, at least hopefully; if he fails to master it, he looks without fear or shame at his mistakes and learns what he can from them. This is intelligence. Clearly its roots lie in a certain feeling about life, and one’s self with respect to life. Just as clearly, unintelligence is not what most psychologists seem to suppose, the same thing as intelligence only less of it. It is an entirely different style of behavior, arising out of an entirely different set of attitudes.
Years of watching and comparing bright children with the not-bright, or less bright, have shown that they are very different kinds of people. The bright child is curious about life and reality, eager to get in touch with it, embrace it, unite himself with it. There is no wall, no barrier, between himself and life. On the other hand, the dull child is far less curious, far less interested in what goes on and what is real, more inclined to live in a world of fantasy. The bright child likes to experiment, to try things out. He lives by
the maxim (格言) that there is more than one way to skin a cat
. If he can’t do something one way, he’ll try another. The dull child is usually afraid to try at all. It takes a great deal of urging to get him to try even once: if that try fails, he is through.
Nobody starts off stupid. Hardly an adult in a thousand, or ten thousand, could in any three years of his life learn as much, grow as much in his understanding of the world around him, as every infant learns and grows in his first three years. But what happens, as we grow older, to this extraordinary capacity for learning and intellectual growth? What happens is that it is destroyed, and more than by any other one thing, by the process that we misname (误称) education—a process that goes on in most homes and schools. [br] What’s the author’s opinion about education?
选项
A、It hinders the development of intelligence instead of promoting it.
B、It stimulates the process of the development of intelligence.
C、It makes us smarter in understanding things.
D、It offers more opportunities for intellectual growth.
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干中的education定位到第四段最后一句。关于教育对智力的影响,该句指出:“它遭到了破坏,它是被我们误称为“教育”的过程——一个在大多数家庭和学校里进行的过程——破坏的,这要比任何其他事物的破坏都严重得多。”由此可见,按照作者的说法,教育不仅没有促进智力的发展,反而阻碍了它的发展。A项与文意相符,故选A。
