试题分析：本文外在的因素为影响孩子的发展。
小题1:上文提到是什么使人聪明，为什么有的人很笨，这是一个老的话题，没有确切的答案。故选C项。承上启下作用。
小题2:上文提到思想就象肌肉，需要锻炼，下方对于青少年来说精神的锻炼是很重要的。承接上文的内容，与下方想呼应。故选A项。
小题3:上句话提到 许多儿童心理学家认为父母应过多的与孩子玩，让他们思考问题，孩子就有可能变得聪明，明智。另一方面，如果孩子被单独扔下什么也不做，他们有可能变得愚钝，与上句形成鲜明的对比，提出正反两种情况。注意文章中on the other hand 的出现起重要的作用。根据上文得出E项。
小题4:根据下文，，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.父母说一些孩子不好的话，孩子可能变笨做蠢事。故父母应注意自己所对孩子所说的话。故选B项。
小题5:F 根据上句话So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，如果父母给孩子灌输积极的因素是比较好，如你做这件事真不错，你是个聪明的孩子，故选G项。
