Despite the progress that has beenmade in gen etics and psychology, huma n in tellige nee has rema ined one of the most con troversial areas of modern scienee, until now, that is, for the discovery o
2、f a gene( 基因)linked to intelligence has made the experts think aga in.Robert Plomin of the Institute of Psychiatry in London and his colleagues in the US have been look ing in to gen etic make-up. From their research, they have discovered that a slightly differe nt gene is more com mon in those with
3、 a high IQ. Plomin an alyzed DNA from two groups of 51 children aged between 6 and 15. What he found was that the first group had an IQ of 136, putting them in the top 5% of the population, while the other group had an average IQ of 103. An analysis of their genes showed that 32% of childre n in the
4、 higher group had the gene in questi on, while only 16% in the second group did. However, there is a lot more research to be done, and Plomin himself is cautious at this early stage. He suggests that there are probably many genes that con tribute to in tellige nce, rather tha n just one.Several stud
5、ies have show n a strong link betwee n IQ and career success, although some psychologists rema in unconvinced about this. Professor Michael Rowe, who has writte n a book called Genius Expla in ed, is one of these. “ The people with the highest IQs are not usually the oneswho do best i n their career
6、s. ”Many psychologists now believe that when it comes to intelligence, IQ isn rything. Many t evealter native views have bee n put forward recen tly. One example is the idea of multiple in tellige nces, which was developed in the 1980s by Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner. This offers a much broad
7、er view than the IQ theory, including creativity and communication skills as releva nt factors(因素)in in tellige nce.Tony Buzan, brain expert and author of Master your Memory, is enthusiastic about this belief, arguing that true geni uses(天才)do in deed appear to comb ine high levels of each type of i
8、n tellige nce. He lists Alexa nder the Great, Pablo Picasso and Albert Ein stein as examples. At the same time, Buza n believes that every on e can develop their in tellige nce, only if they take the trouble to exercise their brain. Perhaps there s hope for us all!1.What is the topic of the passage?

If so, the answer may lie in a skill called -distancing self , the ability to take a step back and viewyours

Accord ing to a research, whe n people adopt self-dista ncing while discuss ing a difficult event, they make better sense of their reacti ons, experie nee less emoti onal sufferi ng, and display fewer sig ns of stress.But what might self- distancing look like in action?

15、broader questions: “ Whywas he so hurt in this situatio n? ” or “ How did her an ger affect him? ”Although this approach may sound too simple to be effective, studies in dicate that a cha nge inpoint of view can have a powerful effect on the way people think, feel, and behave.
