13、NITWHATS BEINGGIFTEDGenius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. Thomas A. Edison, American inventorWe must have perseverance and above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained. Marie Curie, Polish

15、en? What are their special gifts?3 What are the characteristics of gifted children?Recently Jennys school was offering a lecture on “What Is Being Gifted” to students and parents. David Field, an expert in gifted education, was invited as a guest speaker. This is an excerpt from his lecture and his
16、discussion with the audience.David Field: Good afternoon, everyone. Were here today to talk about the concept of being gifted and what it means to high school students. People understand the word “giftedness” differently and have, over the years, attempted to define the term and its criteria. While
17、there is no reliable, single, agreed-upon definition in the study of gifted education, at minimum, it is apparent that some children have abilities that distinguish them from their peers. These children demonstrate advanced abilities and express interest in one or more areas of learning. When these
18、abilities are developed, there may be no limits to a childs potential. Would anyone like to share their experiences with gifted children?Mrs. Smith (Jennys mother): I have a friend whose youngest daughter, Maya, is a child gifted at the violin. At age 10, she won a full scholarship to the Curtis Ins
19、titute to study with the worlds finest teachers, who are all amazed by her superb talent. No amount of extra work or practice could have contributed to this childs gift. Professor, could you explain whether this genius is born or made? David Field: Thank you, Mrs. Smith. This is a common question wi
20、thout a definite answer. Only recently has science begun to do a thorough exploration of the cultural and biological roots of child geniuses. Studies show that raw intelligence, as measured through IQ tests, is inheritable, but the connection between brilliance and behaviour is far from absolute. Ge
21、niuses tend to master very specific skills. My favourite example is Tathagat Avatar Tulsi, an Indian physicist. At age six, he could take any 2 UNIT 1 WHATS BEING GIFTEDdate in history and instantly figure out which day of the week it was. The newspapers named him the “computer brain”. This type of
22、intelligence cannot be inherited.However, more and more experts agree that a childs upbringing has a big impact on his or her possible giftedness. According to an educator, “Geniuses are half born, half made.” Parents provide stimulating environments: a home full of books, for example. These parents
23、 read to children at an early age and take them to cultural events. They allow their kids a higher degree of independence.Mr. Harmer (Jeremys father):Professor, Im sorry to interrupt. It seems that the giftedness mainly concerns a select few. What does it mean to students who are not gifted? David F
24、ield: Great question, thank you! Each child is born with his or her own unique potential, capabilities and limitations. Therefore, we should discover, nurture, and help them develop their gifts. Its important to remember to treat giftedness as an “ordinary difference”, just as some children are tall
25、er or shorter than their classmates, or have varied interests and personalities. All children must be equally valued and appreciated for their unique natures and talents. Although gifted children are still children, their superior skill requires different tools and a broader understanding in order t
26、o ensure their positive development and satisfying educational outcomes. Lets hear from some students now.Jenny: Professor, do gifted children have specific characteristics?David Field: Gifted children are not all the same. Research suggests that even though some characteristics indicate giftedness,
27、 not all children will demonstrate all gifted behaviours, in all contexts, 3 UNIT 1 WHATS BEING GIFTEDAFTER YOU READ Reading Comprehension1 WhatisthemajorpurposeofDavidFieldslecture?HowdoesDavidFielddefine“giftedness”?2 HowdoesDavidFieldbeginhislecture?Andhowdoesheendthelecture?Whatarethebenefitsof

Post-reading Activities1 Suppose you are also attending David Fields lecture. Now it is your turn to ask David Field some questions. Write down three questio
30、ns about the issue of “being gifted” on a piece of paper and be at all times. Theres a range of types and degrees of giftedness. It affirms a childs potential for growth and achievement, and parents and teachers should provide them with the tools they need. However, giftedness is a developmental con
31、cept that doesnt guarantee superior success or otherwise. Danny: Professor, my name is Danny. Is being gifted good or bad?David Field: Hi, Danny. Giftedness is a delicate mixture of blessing and burden these children learn quickly and more easily, but if their gifts arent valued or they arent challe

Gifted kids may enjoy their capacity for creativity, insight, and understanding that both enrich their experience and astonish others, but there are certainly some challenges i

The main purpose of this lecture is to help students, teachers, and parents realize that gifted students need support in order to succeed, but also that all students have something to con

What do you think of these two different views? Discuss i

48、 readers with less-gifted ones. Step 1 Pre-task ResourcesRead the passage carefully and pay attention to the sentences in blue. According to some scientific research, children who have unusual ability in reading and working with text information are considered gifted readers. Their reading abilities
