How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it? Brains aren't the only answer. "Top grades don't always go to the brightest students," declares Herbert Walberg, professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who has conducted major studies of super-achieving students. "Knowing how to make the most of your innate(天赋的) abilities counts for more. Much more."

　　In fact, Walberg says, students with high I.Q.s sometimes don't do as well as classmates with lower I.Q.s. For them, learning comes too easily and they never find out how to get down.

　　Hard work isn't the whole story, either. "It's not how long you sit there with the books open," said one of the many A students we interviewed. "It's what you do while you're sitting." Indeed, some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower-scoring classmates.

　　The kids at the top of the class get there by mastering a few basic techniques that others can readily learn.

　　The “nerds” can probably be __________.

　　dull bookworms lacking sports and social skills

　　successful top students popular with their peers

　　students with certain learning difficulties

　　born leaders crazy about social activities

　　What can we conclude from the first paragraph?

　　Most TV programs and films are about straight-A students.
