lesswelcoming.Within a couple of years,Id given it up.When I returned to London in 2004,1 found myself wandering down to Southbank,spending hours there.Ivetraveled back several times since,most

international symbol for genius.But we want togo beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself.Why is it that some people are so much moreintelligent or creative than the rest of us?And who are they?In the sciences and arts,those praised as geniuses were most often white men,of European origin.Perhaps thisis not a surprise.Its said that history is written by the victors,and those victors set the standards for admissionto the genius club.When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club-women,or people of adifferent color or belief-they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six,girls are less likely than boys to say thatmembers of their gender(f生 另 ij)are really,really smart.Even worse,the study found that girls act on thatbelief Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are really,really smart,Can ourplanet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up?It doesnt take a genius to know theanswer:absolutely not.Heres the good news.In a wired world with constant global communication,were all positioned to see flashesof genius wherever they appear.And the more we look,the more we will see that social factors(因 素)likegender,race,and class do not determine the appearance of genius.As a writer says,future geniuses come fromthose with intelligence,creativity,perseverance(毅力),and simple good fortune,who are able to change theworld.(1)What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?A.Theyre unfair.B.Theyre conservative.C.Theyre objective.D.Theyre strict.(2)What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A.They think themselves smart.B.They look up to great thinkers.C.They see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs(3)Why are more geniuses known to the public?A.lmproved global communication.B.Less discrimination against women.C.Acceptance of victors concepts.D.Changes in peoples social positions.(4)What is the best title for the text?A.Geniuses Think AlikeB.Genius Takes M any FormsC.Genius and IntelligenceD.Genius and
