。1 All the world extended best wishes to Master Kenneth Brown of Philadelphia, who at the age of eight heard his Israeli Rhapsody played by the Philadelphia Orchestra and praised by musicians and critics. He has an excellent chance to become a successful and perhaps famous adult. 全世界的人给费城的Kenneth Brown大师送去最好的祝福，在他八岁的时候因为他的以色列狂想曲被众所周知，这个交响曲是被费城的交响乐团演奏的，受到了音乐家和评论家的称赞。他有一个极好的机会成为一个成功的也许是著名的成年人。2Through the ages child prodigies have been regarded by the “old wives” of tradition as unnaturally or diabolically gifted, apt to burn out young and land on the junk pile. The figures do not bear this out.

Cox and her colleagues at Stanford University found that almost all of them had been unusually perceptive children, even though this fact had not always been recognized. The beloved author Oliver Goldsmith, for example, was pronounced by his earliest teachers to be “dull, stupid, a heavy blockhead，little better than a fool whom everybody made fun of.” Actually, the teachers were too obtuse to understand the overly sensitive child; at home he was writing with surprising skill and astonishing his family. 在一个关于300多个天才男人和女人的研究中，Catherine M. Cox博士和她的斯坦福大学的同事发现：几乎所有的人都是非常有洞察力的孩子，尽管这一事实并不总是被认可。例如被人们爱戴的作家奥利弗哥德史密斯，被他最早期的老师称为做“无聊、愚蠢的一个大笨蛋，仅仅比每个人都
