2017届高考英语（北师大版）一轮复习综合训练（练习）：Module 3 Unit 7 The Sea

　　【例2】 (2009·上海卷D篇)The latest research suggests that the key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not I. Q，a generally bad predictor of success. Instead，it’s purposeful practice. Top performers spend more hours practicing their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop，you’d take a girl who possessed a slightly above average language ability. It wouldn’t have to be a big talent，just enough so that she might gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet，say，a novelist，who coincidentally shared some similar qualities. Maybe the writer was from the same town，had the same family background，or，shared the same birthday.

　　This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of a fascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when she was 12，giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fuelling a desperate need for success. Armed with this ambition，she would read novels and life stories of writers without end. This would give her a primary knowledge of her field. She’d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly understand its inner workings.

　　Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow，painstaking and errorfocused. By practicing in this way，she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious，newly learned skills into unconscious，automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly，by breaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating，she forces the brain to internalize a better pattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream of feedback，viewing her performance from the outside，correcting the smallest errors，pushing her to take on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into a room—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon in order to understand or solve future problems.
