9、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 much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us

10、? 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 admission to the genius club.When contributions were made by geniu

16、unacknowledged and rejected by others.”可知，历史是由胜利者书写的，而这些胜利者也为“天才俱乐部”设定了标准。当“俱乐部”外的天才(即女性、不同肤色或信仰的人)做出贡献时，他们得不到认可，并会被其他人拒绝进入“天才俱乐部”。因此作者认为胜利者为“天才俱乐部”设定的准入标准是不公平的。故选A。5What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?AThey think themselves smart.BThey look up to great thinkers.CThey see gender
