Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Contrary to what many people believe, highly intelligent children are not necessarily bound to have an academic success. In fact, so-called gifted students may fail to do well because they are unusually smart. Ensuring that a gifted child reaches his or her potential requires an understanding of what can go wrong and how to satisfy the unusual learning requirements of extremely bright young people. One common problem gifted kids face is that they, and those around them, place too much importance on being smart. Such an emphasis can breed a belief that bright people do not have to work hard to do well. Although smart kids may not need to work hard in the lower grades when the work is easy, they may struggle and perform. poorly when the work gets harder because they do not make the effort to learn. In some cases, they may not know how to study, having never done it before. In others, they simply cannot accept the fact that some tasks require effort. If the scholastic achievement of highly intelligent children remains below average for an extended period, many teachers will fail to recognize their potential. As a result, such students may not get the encouragement they need, and may further be depressed to learn. They may fall far behind in their schoolwork and even develop behavior. problems. Boys may turn aggressive or become class clowns(小丑).Girls often develop performance anxiety and other symptoms such as stomachaches. One way to avoid such difficulties is to recognize that IQ is just one of the elements for success. Children do well or struggle in school for a host of reasons apart from IQ, according to psychologist Franz Monks of the University of Nijmegen in the Netherlands. These include motivation and persistence, social competence, and the support of family, educators and friends. Emphasizing the importance of persistence and hard work, for example, will help a child avoid the laziness trap. Gifted children also need intellectual challenges-to teach them how to work hard. 26.According to the first paragraph, the author believes that _.

For the past several decades， it seems there's been a general consensus on how to get ahead in America： Get a college education， find a reliable job， and buy your own home． But do Americans still believe in that path， and if they do， is it attainable？ The most recent National Journal poll asked respondents about the American dream， what it takes to achieve their goals， and whether or not they felt a significant amount of control over their ability to be successful． Overwhelmingly， the results show that today， the idea of the American dream-and what it takes to achieve it-looks quite different than it did in the late 20th century． By and large， people felt that their actions and hard work-not outside forces-were the deciding factor in how their lives turned out． But respondents had decidedly mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy． In the last seven years， Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success． Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal， a majority-52 percent-think that young people do not need a four-year college education in order to be successful． Miguel Maeda， 42， who has a master's degree and works in public health， was the first in his family to go to college， which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did． While some， like Maeda， emphasized the value of the degree rather than the education itself， others still see college as a way to gain new perspectives and life experiences． Sixty-year-old Will Fendley， who had a successful career in the military and never earned a college degree， thinks "personal drive" is far more important than just going to college． To Fendley， a sense of drive and purpose， as well as an effective high-school education， and basic life skills， like balancing a checkbook， are the necessary ingredients for a successful life in America．（1）It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America， one had to have ____ ．A． a sense of drive and purposeB． an ambition to get aheadC． a firm belief in their dreamD． an advanced academic degree（2）How do some people view college education these days？ ____ A． It promotes gender equality．B． It helps broaden their minds．C． It needs to be strengthened．D． It adds to cultural diversity．（3）What is one factor essential to success in America， according to Will Fendley？ ____ A． A desire to learn and to adapt．B． A willingness to commit oneself．C． A strong sense of responsibility．D． A clear aim and high motivation．
