作者可能会讲述核雕艺术的发展情况，故选C。（10分）Overthepast100years，animportantideahasbecomepopularineducation.Before，peoplethoughtintelligencewasinborn.Butnow，weknowthatintelligencecanchangewiththerighttraining.Inthe19thcentury，psychologistAlfredBinet，whomadethefirstintelligencetests，believedintelligencewasfixedandtriedtomeasureit.However，intheearly20thcentury，thinkerslikeJohnDeweysaideverychild'sintelligencecouldgrowwithagoodenvironment.Dweck'sfamousexperimentdivided10﹣to12﹣year﹣oldsintotwogroups.Onegroupwaspraisedforbeingsmart，whiletheotherforworkinghard.The"effort﹣praised"grouptriedharderonlatertasks，whilethe"smart﹣praised"groupavoidedchallengestoprotecttheirself﹣image.Thisshowedthatpraisingeffort，nottalent，helpsstudentsimprove.However，schoolsoftenhavedifficultyinusinggrowthmindset（思维模式）ideaseffectively.Manyfocustoomuchontestscoresandrankings，whichactuallyencouragea"fixedmindset."Someschoolsevencreatecontradictions（矛盾）bytalkingaboutgrowthmindsetwhilegivingfixedgradesbasedonperformance.Criticspointoutproblemswithgrowthmindsetresearch.StudiestryingtorepeatDweck'sexperimentsoftenfail.PsychologistTimothyBatesfoundthatstudentswithgrowthmindsetsdidn'tgetbettergrades.Statistician（统计学家）AndrewGelmanquestionedwhethertheresearchtrulypr
