Unable to meet them, he quit.“My perfectionism prompted high expectations, and that caused real suffering，” Benjamin said. He is not alone in feeling that perfectionis
11、m can lead to anxiety. So many millennials (千禧一代) suffer from the ills of perfectionism that psychologists are issuing warnings and schools are emphasizing the need to accept failure.Northwestern has held meetings that offered tips on how students could deal with a perfectionism problem. Jessica, le
12、ading the events and researches, said every generation is a sponge for the messages it receives. “Millennials, more than any other generation in American society, are receiving clear messages around achieving，” she said. “Theres an absence of messaging that trying your hardest is still OK.”The Ameri
13、can Psychological Association also found that recent generations of college students have reported higher levels of perfectionism than earlier generations. This “desire to achieve along with being overly critical of oneself and others” affects young peoples mental health, according to research data
14、from over 40，000 college students.Researchers noted that social media adds comparative pressure, along with the drive to earn money and achieve career goals. Perfectionists often create unrealistic goals, which can lead to a higher risk of failure.In college, Benjamin found himself surrounded by so
15、many intelligent people that he felt he should have been achieving a higher level than he was. “It makes you feel kind of crazy，” he said.This type of thinking can lead to people putting in less effort, which, as they fall behind, can create more anxiety. “It makes people feel kind of isolated. And
16、that，” Benjamin added, “can cause students to drift away from their school.”21.

18、g other people.BWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Lets state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so
19、 much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they? In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. Its said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admiss
20、ion to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the clubwomen, or people of a different color or beliefthey were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of
21、 their gender(性别)are “really, really smart”. Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart”. Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesnt tak
22、e a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Heres the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, were all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine t
23、he appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”24. What does the author think of victors standards for joining the genius club?ATheyre unfair. BTheyre conservative
24、.CTheyre objective. DTheyre strict.25. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?AThey think themselves smart. BThey look up to great thinkers.CThey see gender differences earlier than boys.D.They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.26. Why are more geniuses known to the publ
