Since the turn of the 20th century, the importance of “intelligence” (quantified as “IQ” ---- intelligence quotient) has been over-emphasized in almost every aspect of human endeavor. Indeed, IQ has been popularized with such an extent that parenting and educational methods are geared to maximizing children’s intellectual abilities. An entire industry, supported by reams of literature, has sprung up around sophisticated methods of IQ measurement, interpretation of IQ test results, and hence the mapping of children’s career futures. Few people have been spared the indignities of being subject to an IQ test at some point in their lives. The beginning of this IQ fetish can be traced back to the Age of Reason in 17th and 18th century Europe, when leading philosophers began to promote “rational” thought as the path to human perfect. This trend has since culminated in today’s post-industrial era, when we have come to worship at the altar of “intelligence” ---- the suppod panacea for the world’s ills. | 1. 口才表达能力训练>海参怎么发 to 2. subjected 3. perfection |
Thanks ∧ the meticulous and exhaustive obrvations of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980), we know much about the way a child’s capacity for rational thought matures and how cognitive development is linked to the functions of reason, logic, memory and language structures. Unfortunately, the importance of the cognitive faculties has been grossly over-emphasized, at the risk of wisdom about the dimension of feelings. Consider this: In January 2000, Time Magazine voted Albert Einstein the “Person of the Century”. While his achievement are certainly formidable, they have not touched anything esntial to human happiness. Why do we prize brains with the heart and soul? The fact that a high IQ has often been found to correlate with depression says little for its adapt advantages. What’s more, IQ is a poor predictor of success in relationships, and has nothing at all to do with general life satisfaction or physical and psychology health. One of the saddest and most common misconceptions of our times is that a high IQ leads ∧ emotional balance and psychological maturity. | 4. to 5. expen / cost 6. achievements 7. above 8. adaptive 9. psychological 小孩喉咙发炎 10. to |
