Approaches to Understanding Intelligences
It pays to be smart,but we are not all smart in the same way.You may be a talented musician,but you might not be a good reader.Each of us is different.
Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologists have two different views on intelligence.Some believe there is one general intelligence.Others believe there are many different intelligences.
Some psychologists say there is one type of intelligence that can be measured with IQ tests.These psychologists support their view with research that concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.They do well on tests using words,numbers,or pictures.They do well on individual or group tests,and written or oral tests.Those who do poorly on one test,do the same on all tests.
Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelligent people use less energy during problem solving.The brain waves of people with higher intelligence show a quicker reaction.Some researchers conclude that differences in intelligence result from differences in the speed and effectiveness of information processing by the brain.
Howard Gardner,a psychologist at the Harvard School of Education,has four children.He believes that all children are different and shouldn't be tested by one intelligence test.Although Gardner believes general intelligence exists,he doesn't think it tells much about the talents of a person outside of formal schooling.He thinks that the human mind has different intelligences.These intelligences allow us to solve the kinds of problems we are presented with in life.Each of us has different abilities within these intelligences.Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.
Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.For example,when one part of the brain is injured, other parts of the brain still work.People who cannot talk because of brain damage can still sing.So,there is not just one intelligence to lose.Gardner has identified 8 different kinds of intelligence:linguistic, mathematical, spatial, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal,body-kinesthetic （身体动觉的）, and naturalistic.
选项 What is the main idea of this passage?
A:The importance of intelligence?
B:The development of intelligence tests.
C:How to understand intelligence.
D:How to become intelligent.
答案C
解析本文主要讲述了心理学家们对如何理解智力的不同见解，提出了对智力理解的两种观点——一般智力和多种智力，以及Gardner对智力的观点和看法。
文章标题即为理解智力的方式。第二段也明确地表明心理学家对于智力、天赋以及个人能力的观点各抒己见。对此主要有两种不同观点，一些人认为只有一种普遍存在的智力，还有一些人认为存在许多不同种类的智力。故选C。
由文章第三段第二句话“…concludes that people who do well on one kind of test for mental ability do well on other tests.”可知，坚持一般智力观点的一些心理学家认为，做好一类智力测试的人同样能做好其他测试。故选A。
根据第五段第二句话“He believes that all children are different and shouldn' t he tested by one intelligence test.”可知，Gardner相信所有的孩子都是不同的，不应该用同一种测试来检测他们的智力，也就是说他认为孩子们的智力各不相同。故选D。
由文章第五段最后一句话“Gardner believes that the purpose of school should be to encourage development of all of our intelligences.”可知，Gardner认为学校的目标应该是鼓励孩子们全方位地开发智力。故选A。
由文章第六段第一句话“Gardner says that his theory is based on biology.”可知，Gardner 的理论有生物学的基础。故选B。
