Passage 18

(上海格致中学2010届高三第一学期期中考试)

Some personal characteristics play an important role in the development of one’s intelligence．But people fail to realize the importance of training these factors in young people．

The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits．After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51　　　 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．

52people all know that one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to　　　 53　　　 these factors．

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition(营养不良) or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56　　　 criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray(堕落)because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46．5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36．4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10．3 percent were sick of learning．

It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main　　　 59

to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 　60　 development among a few students．

If we don’t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation．Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors．

First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning，　　　 64their interests and toughening their willpower．
