【解析】

試題分析：為什么有的人比其他人聰明？是什么讓一個人成為愛因斯坦那樣的天才？科學(xué)研究表明，僅靠生來具有的聰明的大腦是不夠的，足夠的頭腦訓(xùn)練和父母對孩子的評價也是不可或缺的。

1. 考查理解概括能力。本段接連提出三個問題，說明這些問題讓人們困惑很久但仍不清楚。由此判斷G項內(nèi)容These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.可概括本段，故選G。

2. 考查推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前一句“In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle”可知，大腦就像腿和胳膊上的肌肉一樣；根據(jù)后一句“Mental exercise is particularly important for young children”可知，頭腦訓(xùn)練對小孩子尤其重要，所以此處要填“大腦需要訓(xùn)練”，由此判斷E項內(nèi)容“It needs exercise.”符合，故選E。

3. 考查理解概括能力。本段是說，很多兒童心理學(xué)家認為，父母應(yīng)該更經(jīng)常地和孩子玩耍，給他們一些難題讓他們解決。這樣的話，孩子們長大后更可能聰明靈活。從另一方面來說 ，如果孩子被孤零零地扔在一旁無事可做，他們很可能會變得呆滯和笨拙。由此判斷D項內(nèi)容“The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent.”符合， 故選D。

4. 考查理解概括能力。根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容可知，如果父母總是說孩子是個笨蛋或白癡，他/她就很有可能做一些愚蠢的事情。所以，父母對孩子說話時要謹慎。故B項內(nèi)容“Parents should also be careful about what they say to young children”符合，故選B。

5. 考查推理判斷能力。根據(jù)前面的內(nèi)容可知，父母如果說孩子笨，他們就可能做愚蠢的事情，所以，對父母來說，更好的做法是用積極向上的話評價孩子，比如“這件事你做得很漂亮”、“你真是個聰明的孩子”，由此判斷F項內(nèi)容與“That was a very clever thing you did”匹配，故選F。
