Bad News for the Highly IntelligentThere are advantages to being smart. People who do well on IQ tests tend to be more successful in the classroom and the workplace. They also tend to live longer, healthier lives, and are less likely to experience negative life events.51 In a study, Ruth Karpinski and her colleagues carried out a study on the members of Mensa, a high IQ society. The study covered mood (情绪) disorders and anxiety disorders. Respondents were asked to report whether they had ever suffered from each disorder. The researchers compared the percentage of those who reported disorder to the national average and found that Mensa’s highly intelligent members were more likely to suffer from a range of serious disorders.To explain their findings, Karpinski and his team bring up the hyper brain and hyper body theory. This theory holds that, for all of its advantages, being highly intelligent is associated with psychological and physiologic al “overexcitabilities”, or OE. 52 This can include anything from an astonishing sound to conflict with another person. According to the theory, OEs are more common in highly intelligent people. A highly intelligent person may overanalyze a disapproving comment made by a boss, imagining negative outcomes that simply wouldn’t occur to someone less intelligent. 53The results of this study must be interpreted cautiously. Showing that a disorder is more common in a sample of people with high IQs than in the general population doesn’t prove that high intelligence is the cause of the disorder. 54 All the same, the findings set the stage for research that promises to cast new light on the link between intelligence and health. One possibility is that associations between intelligence and health outcomes reflect pleiotropy (基因多效性), which occurs when a gene (基因) influences seemingly unrelated characteristics. 55In a 2015 study, Rosalind Arden and her colleagues concluded that the association between IQ and living longer is mostly explained by genetic factors. From a practical standpoint, this research may lead to insights about how to improve people’s psychological and physical well-being.A. Now there’s some bad news for those smart people.B. There is already some evidence to suggest that this is the case.C. It is an unusually strong reaction to an environmental threat or abuse.D. Scientists did many researches to understand the reasons behind the advantages.E. That may cause the body’s stress respons e, which may make the person even more anxious.F. It’s also possible that people who join Mensa differ from other people in ways other than just IQ.G. They found that the differences between the respondents were seen for mood and anxiety disorders.51．A 52．C 53．E 54．F 55．B【东城二模】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It?s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it?s awkward and challenging, or we think it?sannoying and unnecessary.But the next time you find yourself among strangers,consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it?s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can?t forget that deep relationships wouldn?t even exist if it weren?t for casual conversation. Small talk isthe grease (润滑剂) for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director ofthe Shyness Research Institute at Indian University Southeast. ost every grea“t Alm love story and each big businessdeal begins with small talk, h”e explains. “Thekey to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them. ”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC,invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary.The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantlyhigher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It?s not thathe waiter is better than talking to your husband, ”say Dunn. “But interacperipheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-beingalso. ”Dunn believes that people who research out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing sucha sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Smalltalk is the basis of good manners, ”he says.30. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph?A.
