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 youmight not be a good reader.Each of us is different.
Psychologists disagree about what is intelligence and what are talents or personal abilities.Psychologistshave 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.Thesepsychologists 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 alltests.
Studies of the brain show that there is a biological basis for general intelligence.The brains of intelli-gent 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 become intelligent.
D:How to understand intelligence.
答案D
解析本文主要论述的是心理学家们对智力所持有的不同看法，并通过实验观察来证明其观点，因此本文的主要内容就是如何来理解智力，故选D。
文章的第三段和第四段是关于general intelligence的论述。由第三段第二句“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.”可知，本题应选D。
由文章第五段第二句可知，Gardner认为所有的孩子都是不同的，不能用同一种智力测试来判断，故选D。
由文章第五段最后一句可知，Gardner认为学校的目的应该是提倡学生各方面智力的全面发展，故选B。
由文章最后一段第一句话可知，Gardner认为他的理论是以生物学为根据的，故选B。
