单选题 According to the author, the conventional notion of intelligence measured in terms of one's ability to read, write and compute______.

A、 is a widely held but wrong concept
B、 will help eliminate intellectual prejudice
C、 is the root of all mental distress
D、 win contribute to one's self-fulfillment

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】事实细节题。文中第一段第二、三句告诉我们“聪明”的传统定义，接着告诉我们这一定义所带来的后果，传统定义所认为的很多“聪明人”过着很不快乐的生活。其中把这个概念称为prevalent myths之一，widely held即prevalent； myth就是wrong concept。所以选项A是正确答案。
