Some personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of one’s intelligence. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8, 000 males, American psychologists found out that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but non-intelligence factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s feelings, will, 【1】, interests and habits.

Though people all know that one should have 【2】 objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t pay much attention to 【3】 these factors.

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either 【4】 factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these as reasons why students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or even 【5】 or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and give themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray 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 were afraid of learning because of examination and 36. 4 percent 【6】 persistence, initiative and conscientiousness.

It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main obstacle to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes a(n) 【7】 between physiological and psychological development among a few students.

If we don't start now to 【8】 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only obstruct the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the 【9】 of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward suggestions about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.

First, parents and teachers should 【10】 understand teenage psychology. On this basic, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, exciting their interests and toughening their willpower.
