Questions 16-20
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Many students believe that math is an inherited ability - either they have the math gene or
they don't. However, a recent research shows that inborn talent might not be as important
as we think. In the long run, the most successful students are often those who work the

3
hardest, not those with the highest IQs. These students believe that perseverance, not an
innate gift, is the key to achievement.
In her book Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, Carol Dweck argues that a positive
mindset is what makes some students push themselves when others give up. Students with
a "fixed mindset" believe that they were born with a certain set of talents. They see
challenges as a sign that they've reached the limit of their natural ability, and they stop
trying. On the contrary, students with a "growth mindset" believe that there are no limits on
their potential, and view challenges as a chance to learn and improve. They know that their
intelligence can be built through experience and effort, and are not held back by the idea of
inborn restrictions.
Geoff Colvin delivers a similar message in his book, Talent Is Overrated. He demonstrates
that success is almost always the result of what he calls "deliberate practice", concentrated
effort to improve one's skills through focused effort. Inborn talent might make a difference
when a subject is first tackled, but years later, it's the hard-working children who are the
most successful. Kim Callan - a math teacher - agrees: "It is rare for a hard-working
student to fail in my class."
Having the right mindset is critical to success. Children need to believe in their ability to
overcome challenges through concentrated effort. If you place your child in the right math
class and encourage him/her to work hard, there's no limit to what he/she will be able to
accomplish.
16. Which of the following best describes the main idea of this article?
A. How to help children control their states of mind
B. How to know whether a child's talent is inborn or acquired
C. Parents play a very important role in their children's learning
D. What kind of students can be successful in math
17. In the first paragraph, the words “these students” refer to
A. the most successful students B. the students with the highest IQs
C. the students with an inherited ability D. the students who love to learn math
18. In the first paragraph, the word “innate” is closest in meaning to
A. unusual B. inborn C. acquired D. special
19. What is probably true about this article?
A. Perseverance is the main reason for students' success in math.
B. Inherited ability is the most important reason for students' success in math.

4
C. Students with the highest IQs are more successful in math.
D. Success is almost always the result of students' talent.
20. When might inborn talent work?
A. When students have finished learning a subject
B. When students start to learn a subject
C. When it takes a long time to learn a subject
D. When a subject is hard to learn
