Albert Einstein recalled his learning problems philosophically: My intellectual development was slow, as a result of which I began to wonder about space and time only when I had already grown up. Naturally, I could go deeper into the problem than a child.” And so 11 years after dismissal from school, young Albert Einstein published the theory of relativity that changed our understanding of the universe.

No one in this century has been more widely recognized as a genius than Einstein Yet his problems with early intellectual development and his unique talents cast great doubt on all our conventional ideas about genius, intelligence or “I Q.”. On the one hand, Einstein showed early disadvantages in abilities that our mental tests value; on the other hand, his special brains went far beyond most definitions of intelligence. Moreover, their growth appears unusually gradual, against the popular conception of intelligence as something inborn and fixed. His firm perseverance and his skills in playing games with ideas were apparently as important to his genius as any cutting edge of intelligence.

These powerful aspects of intelligence that conventional definitions overlook

are getting close attention in a new wave of research. This comes after years of earlier studies which exposed the narrowness of our usual measures of mental ability. Intelligence, it turns out, is multifaceted and marvelous; it includes personal characteristics, creativity skills and intellectual capabilities that show up on no test. What is most exciting is that some of these ill-defined abilities are possessed by many people. Just knowing about such neglected skills will help us discover and develop untapped (未开发的) potential—in ourselves and in our children.

41.This passage is about _______. A. conventional ideas concerning genius B. the wide value of Einstein as a genius

C. the early development of Einstein’s intelligence D. an exploration of the complexity of human intelligence

42.According to the passage, when Einstein was at school, he _______? A. fell behind other pupils

B. was fond of studying philosophical problems C. was proud of his own diligence

D. thought more deeply about the problems of space and time than his classmates 43.Which of the following led to Einstein*s success? A. His good skills in game-playing.- B. His diligence and powerful mind.

C. His unusual thinking about the conception of space and time. D. His determination in taking actions.

44.The underlined word “multifaceted”(Para. 3) probably means _______? A. complex B. limited C. particular D. common

45.According to the passage which of the following statements is TRUE? A. Conventional intelligence tests are not reliable.

B. For ordinary people intelligence is something inborn and fixed.

C. Einstein was apparently a genius in playing games as well as in scientific research.

D. Einstein’s early disadvantages in abilities contributed to his later mental development.

In my living room，there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.

Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eight-mile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.

From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothy’s classroom. I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner”(lunch)．In case you don’t know, poke greens are a weed-type plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.

Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the one-and-only steak house in the area to celebrate her victory,
