Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #34696 Different Attainments
Instructions
In  many  areas  of  expertise  ranging  from  music  dance  art  and  literature  to  sports  chess  mathematics  science  and  foreign-language  acquisition,  there  is  abundant  evidence  that  young  people  differ  from  one  another  in  their  attainments  and  in  the  apparent  ease  with  which  they  achieve  them.    within  a  family,  there  may  be  marked  differences  for  example  a  child  who  struggles  at  a  musical  instrument  without    success  may  be  overtaken  by  a  younger  sibling.
It  is  widely  believed  that  the  likelihood  of    exceptionally  competent  in  certain  fields  depends  on  the  presence  or  absence  of  inborn  attributes  variously  labelled  'talents'  or  'gifts'  or  less  often  'natural  aptitudes'.  According  to  an  informal  British  survey  more  than  three-quarters  of  music  educators  who  decide    young  people  are  to  receive  instruction  believe  that  children  cannot  do  well  unless  they  have  special  innate  gifts  (Davis  1994).  The  judgement  that  someone  is  talented  is  believed  to    explain  (as  distinct  from  merely  describing)  that  person's  success  It  is  also  widely  believed  that  the  innate  talent  that  makes  it  possible  for  an  individual  to  excel  can  be  detected  in  early  childhood.
