There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people  36  to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you  37  is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you   38   others. Because while there will be times  39  outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely  40 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are  41 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision  42   anyway.
You were   43   with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and  44  the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone
against your own   45  .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of  46  a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the   47   necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to   48   on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being   49  to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior  50  knew more than I did, and so I  51  too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in  52  . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by  53  and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to  54   this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to   55  and to life.

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.

It was on a summer burning afternoon in Denver.The sky was blue and the wind was blowing slightly.A man from a big 36  with a new wagon (马车) and a beautiful pair of horses was 37 along a country road.He did not 38  much attention to 39  he was going.Pretty soon he realized that he was 40  , but he continued to drive, 41  to find his way or to meet someone who could tell him how to 42  to the town.

"Hello, yourself" the farmer replied, 46  plowing.
"Where does this  47  go ?"
"I haven't ever seen it go anywhere.It always 48  right where it is " , said the farmer, without stopping his work.
"How far is it  49  the next town?" said the stranger, speaking a little louder.
"Don't know, never  50  it " replied the farmer.
By this time the city man was getting 51  , "What do you know? You're the biggest 52  I ever saw"
The farmer 53  the plow and turned and looked for a long time at the city man.Then he said scornfully (轻蔑地) , "Maybe I don't know much.54  I am a fool.But 55  I'm not lost!"
