If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s

later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the
7 组织或团体的成员
World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be
8 显著的 evenmorepronounced.
9 是…的原因
What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a)
10 星座 11 极好的
certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to
12 氧⽓ 13 耐⼒
have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents
14 怀胎,受孕 15 狂热 aremorelikelytoconceivechildreninspringtime,attheannualpeakofsoccer mania;
d)noneoftheabove.
Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University,
15 坚信
says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and
studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to
16 转向
conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly

30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random
series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit
18 记起,回忆起
span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about
200hoursoftraininghehadrisentoover80numbers.”
19 加上 This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not
21 与其说…不如说 genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more

Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a

莱布尼兹会上岸 整理
1⃣
如果查看⼀下2006 年世界杯赛所有⾜球运动员的出⽣证,你很可能会发现⼀件引⼈注意的奇事:出类拔
萃的⾜球运动员更可能出⽣在⼀年中的头⼏个⽉⽽⾮后⼏个⽉。如果再看看为世界杯和职业球队输送⼈才的
欧洲各国国家⻘年队(队员出⽣证),你会发现这⼀奇怪现象甚⾄更为显著。
2⃣
这⼀奇怪现象可能的成因是什么呢?以下是⼏种猜测:a)某些星座赐予球员⾼超的⾜球技能;b)冬季出⽣的
婴孩往往具有更⾼的⾎液携氧能⼒,这会增加踢⾜球时的耐⼒;c痴迷⾜球的⽗⺟更可能在春天,也即每年⾜球狂
热的巅峰时期受孕;d以上都不是。
3⃣
安德斯•艾利克森,佛罗⾥达州⽴⼤学⼀位58岁的⼼理学教授,称他坚信“以上都不对”。艾利克森在瑞典⻓
⼤,起初攻读核能⼯程学,直到他意识到如果转学⼼理学,会有更多机会从事⾃⼰的研究。他的⾸次实验,⼤
约在30年前,与记忆⼒相关:训练⼀个⼈听⼀组随机数字,随后进⾏复述。“在约20个⼩时训练之后,第⼀位
被试者的数宇记忆跨度从7个增加⾄20个,”艾利克森回忆道,“他不断地进步,约200个⼩时训练之后,他
能记住 80多个数字。”
4⃣
这次成功,加上后续的表明记忆⼒本身并⾮由基因决定的研究,使得艾利克森得出结论:记忆⾏为与其说
是⼀种直觉活动,不如说是⼀种认知活动。换句话说,不论两个⼈在记忆能⼒⽅⾯表现出什么先天
性差异,这些差异都被个⼈“编码”信息能⼒的强弱所掩盖。艾利克森断定,学习有⽬的地编码信息的最佳⽅法
是⼀个被称为“刻意练习”的过程。“刻意练习”需要的不仅仅是简单地重复任务,确切地讲,它需要制定明确
⽬标、获取即时反馈并且要技巧与结果并重。
5⃣
艾利克森和他的同事由此开始沉涵⼿研究众多领城的出⾊表现者。他们收集能够收集到的所有资料,不仅
包括⼯作表现统计数据和⽣平详细资料,还包括他们在⾃⼰实验室⾥对杰出⼈才所做实验的结果。他们的研究
结论相当令⼈震惊:我们通常称之为“天賦”的这⼀特质被过于⾼估了。或者,换句话说,不管是在记忆⼒还是
外科⼿术领域,是在芭蕾舞还是在计算机编程⽅⾯,表现出⾊的⼈⼏乎都是造就的,⽽不是天⽣的。Text2

1⃣
在过去⼏年中,,报纸周⽇副刊《⼤观》开设了⼀版名为“问问玛丽莲”的特⾊专栏。⼈们被邀请向玛丽
莲• 洪斯 •莎凡提问,她在10 岁时测得的智⼒⽔平相当于普通⼈23岁左右,也就是智商为228,这是有记录
以来的最⾼分数。1Q测试要求你完成⽂宇和视觉类推、想象纸张经折叠和剪切后的形状、推导数宇序列,
以及其他类似的任务。因此,莎凡能巧妙应对(智商为 100的)普通⼈提出的诸如“爱与喜爱有何区别”或
“运⽓和巧合的本质是什么”这类问题,这有点令⼈费解。想象物体(形状)和破解数值模式的能⼒如何
能使⼈解答那些曾难倒⼀些最优秀诗⼈和哲学家的问题,这⼀点难以理解。
2⃣
显然,智⼒不⽌包含⼀次测试的⼀个得分。那么什么才叫“聪明”呢?智⼒有多少可以被明确(测知)?我
们从神经学、遗传学、计算机科学和其他领域中⼜能对智⼒了解多少呢?
3⃣
尽管如今1Q测试已经不像以前那么频繁地被使⽤,但IQ分数似乎仍是定义⼈类智⼒的术语。IQ测试主
要有两种形式:斯坦福⼀⽐纳智⼒量表和⻙克斯勒智⼒量表(⼆者都有成⼈版和⼉童版)。这两种测试形
式费⽤⼀般为⼏百美元,通常只由⼼理学家提供,不过他们的改编版本在书店和互联⽹上隨处可⻅。像莎
凡那样的超⾼分数不可能再出现,因为现在分数计算是以同龄群体在统计学意义上的⼈⼝分布为基础的,
⽽不是简单地⽤智⼒年龄除以⽣理年龄再乘以100。其他标准化测试,⽐如学术评估测验(SAT)和研究⽣
⼊学考试(GRE),都充分体现了IQ测试的主要特点。
4⃣
罗伯特•J•斯特恩伯格指出,这类标准化测试也许不能评估在学业和⽣活中取得成功所必需的所有重要
因素。斯特恩伯格在他的《智⼒测试有多智能?》⼀⽂中指出传统测试能够对分析能⼒和语⾔能⼒做出最
佳评估,但不能评估创造能⼒和实践知识,⽽这两个因素对于解决问题和在⽣活中取得成功也⾄关重要。
此外,⼀旦受试群体或环境发⽣变化,IQ测试不⼀定能做出准确预测。研究发现,当(受试者)在压⼒⼩的情
况下进⾏测试时,IQ能预示领导能⼒(的⾼低);但是在压⼒⼤的情况下,IQ与领导能⼒负相关也就是说,根
据智商预测出的领导能⼒与实际情况相反。任何熬过“学术能⼒评估测试”的⼈都可以证明,应试技巧也
很重要,⽆论是知道何时应该猜测或是(知道)何题应该跳过。Text3

本赋闲在家的另⼀半获得的额外收⼊得以弥补。
3⃣
与此同时,家庭被要求在退休收⼊⽅⾯承担(⽐以前)⼤得多的⻛险。钢铁⼯⼈、航空公司雇员以及现在
汽⻋⾏业的员⼯正在加⼊数百万家庭,必须担忧利率、股市波动以及退休⾦不⾜以养⽼这⼀严酷现实。去年
的⼤半年之中,布什总统领导了将社会保障体系变成储蓄账户模式的改⾰运动,(在这种模式下,)退休⼈
员的⼤部分或全部的“有保障的收⼊”变成了“依赖投资收益的收⼊”。对于较年轻的家庭来说境况并没有
好出丝毫。医疗保健的绝对成本以及其中家庭承担的份额都已提⾼且新近流⾏的健康储蓄计划正从国会⼤
厅蔓延到沃尔玛员⼯那⾥,随之⽽来的是⽐过去⾼出许多的医疗保险免赔额,以及家庭未来的医疗保健所
⾯临的⼤量新增投资⻛险。甚⾄⼈⼝统计数据都对中产阶级家庭不利,因为(据统计)家庭中出现年⽼⼒衰的
⽗(⺟)以及随之⽽来的体⼒和经济援助需要的⼏率在仅仅⼀代⼈的时间⾥就猛涨到原来的⼋倍。
4⃣
可以理解,从中产阶级家庭的⻆度看,上述许多现象看起来远不像是履⾏更多经济责任的机会,⽽更像
是以骇⼈的增速将⾦融⻛险⼤规模转嫁到他们已经不堪重负的肩膀上。经济上的不良后果已经显现,,政治
影响也不会太远了。Text4

1⃣
不⾬则已,⾬则倾盆。正值⽼板、董事会们总算解决了最为辣⼿的财务和合规问题,并且改善了薄弱的
公司治理之际,⼀个新的问题⼜可能为他们惹来,尤其是在美国,那种不可避免地使管理层受重罚的负⾯
头条,这个问题就是:数据不安全。此前,信息保护⼀直是由古怪⽽⼜低级的信息技术员⼯来负责,并且被
看作只是诸如银⾏、电信、航空旅⾏这类拥有⼤量数据的⾏业才关注的问题,⽽现在却⾼居各⾏业⽼板的议
程表之⾸。
2⃣
今年⼏起重⼤的客户和员⼯数据泄露事件——发⽣于各类机构⾥,如时代华纳公司、美国国防项⽬承包
商科学应⽤国际公司、甚⾄加州⼤学伯克利分校——使得管理者们慌忙检查⾃身复杂精细的信息技术系统
和业务流程,以寻找潜在的漏洞。
3⃣
斯坦福⼤学商学院的海姆 •孟德尔森说:“数据正在变成⼀种资产,与任何其他资产⼀样,它也需要受到保
护。保护容户数据的能⼒是(保证)市场价值的关键,董事会应当为了股东的利益对市场价值负责。”的
确,正如有⼀般公认会计原则(GAAP) 的概念样,或许现在是该制定⼀般公认安全原则(GASP)的时候了,
纽约哥伦⽐亚⼤学商学院的伊莱•诺姆这样建议道。他指出:“为〔数据)安全、冗余以及恢复设⽴恰当的
投资标准是个管理问题,⽽不是技术问题。”
4⃣
难以理解的是,这竟然令所有的⽼板们都⼤吃⼀惊。⽆疑的是,即使最愚笨的管理⼈员也应该会清楚地
知道:信任,也即经济资产中最具价值的东⻄,很容易遭到破坏⽽修复起来代价⾼昂; 没有什么事情⽐企业
任由个⼈敏感信息落⼊别有⽤⼼的⼈⼿中更能破坏信任的了。
5⃣
(美国,⽽不是欧洲)⽋缺针对数据泄露的法律惩处,这种情况虽不⾄于证明当前事态合理,但却可能助⻓其
发展。加州最近通过了项法律,在此之前,美国的公司在数据丢失时⽆需通知任何⼈,甚⾄是受害者本⼈。
这种情况可能很快就会政变:⼤量有关数据安全的⽴法提案正在国会接受审议。与此同时,美国6
⽉17⽇披露的⼀起涉及⼤约4000 万信⽤卡账⼾的信息失窃案,⼜使得美国联邦贸易委员会头⼀天(16⽇)做
出的⼀项极为重⼤的决议——该决议警告美国商界,如果公司不能充分保障数据的安全,那么监管机构就
会采取措施——颜⾯尽失。公众号/⼩红书:莱布尼兹会上岸 获取更多考研资料
