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’(非智力因素)include    36     feelings , will , motivation (动机), interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists (心理学)   37     that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence     38    , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .

    39    people 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     40    these factors .

Some parents are greatly worried    41     their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic (遗传的)factors , malnutrition ,(营养不良)or laziness , but they never take     42    consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons    43     students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or     44    criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and     45    themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray(迷途)because they are sick of learning .   46     investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were   47      of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative (主动)and consciousness (正直地、谨慎的)and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .

It is clear    48     the lack of cultivation (培养) of non-intelligence factors has been a main     49    to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and    50     development among a few students .

If we don’t start now to   51      the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the   52      of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward    53     about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .

First , parents and teachers should    54     understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue (调动)the objectives of learning ,     55   their interests and toughening their willpower .

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right-and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to  36  others how their positions, statements, and points of view are   37  , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow   38   it, or at least learn something. Wrong!

Think about it. Have you ever been   39   by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever   40   you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their   41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42   to be corrected. We all want our positions to be   43   and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest    44   of the human heart. And those who learn to   45   are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46   of correcting others are often resented and   47  .

A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise   48   others the joy of being right-      give them the glory.    49   correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to\:”, rather than jumping   50   and saying, “No, it’s more important to…:”, simply let it go and allow their statement to   51  . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52  . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s   54  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “  55  ”, most of the time?

___6___ the person must recognise that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must ___7___ that there is a problem with his bicycle.

     When I was thirteen, my family moved from Boston to Tucson, Arizona.  36  the move, my father  37  us in the living-room on a freezing January night. My sisters and I sat around the fire, not   38  that the universe would suddenly change its course. "In May, we're  39  to Arizona."

     The words, so small, didn't seem  40  enough to hold my new life. But the world changed and I awoke on a train moving across the country. I watched the  41_  change from green trees to flat dusty plains to high mountains as I saw strange new plants that  42  mysteries(奥秘) yet to come. Finally, we arrived and  43  into our new home.

     44  my older sisters were sad at the loss of friends, I   45   explored(探索) our new surroundings.

     One afternoon, I was out exploring  46  and saw a new kind of cactus(仙人掌). I crouched (蹲) down for a closer look. "You'd better not  47  that."

     I turned around to see an old woman

     "Are you new to this neighborhood?" I explained that I was,  48 , new to the entire state.

     "My name is Ina Thorne. Have you got used to life in the  49 ? It must be quite a _50  after living in Boston."

     "It's vastness," she offered. “That vastness  52  you stand on the mountains overlooking the desert -- you can  53  how little you are in comparison with the world.      54   , you feel that the possibilities are limitless.”

     That was it. That was the feeling I'd had ever since I'd first seen the mountains of my new home. Again, my  55  would change with just a few simple words.

     "Would you like to come to my home tomorrow? Someone should teach you which plant you should and shouldn't touch."

    The year I went to college was a very difficult transition(过渡期) for me. 21    is probably true with many people. I got quite homework and   22 thought about going home.

    Although the  23   time for many students is getting   24   from home, my mailbox was frequently   25   . One day when I went to the mailbox, there was a postcard   26  out at me. I sat down to read it,   27  a note from someone back home. 28 I became increasingly puzzled(困惑) as   29   postcards were like this; It was a full news report about a woman named Mabel and her newborn baby. I took the card back to my room and   30  about it.

   Several days later I   31  another postcard, this one   32  news about Maybelline, Mabel’s cousin. Soon after, another card arrived and then another,  33  full of news of different people. I befan to   34  look forward to the next one,   35  to see what this author would come up with   36 . I was never   37 .

   Finally, the cards   38  coming, right about the time I had begun to feel  39  about college life. They had been such a happy distraction(调剂) that I have  40  all the postcards and still bring them out to read whenever I need a lift.

Dear Molly,

      I have a problem. My parents are always talking to me about studying. They want me to study harder so I can go to a good school. I know studying is very important, but my parents put too much pressure on me. How can I explain to my parents that I need some free time?

                                                             ------ Overworked

Dear Molly,

       My best friend Tony is a nice young man, but he has a bad habit. He is always late. No matter where he is going to what he is doing, he is never on time. Once he turned up thirty minutes late for a meeting! What can I do to break him of this bad habit?

                                                         ------ Worried

Dear Molly,

       I have a new roommate named Louis. He is a good friend of mine, but he is driving me crazy because he is very untidy. He leaves his dirty clothes everywhere, and he never makes his bed. I am extremely neat. What can I do?

                                                                  ----Unhappy

Dear Molly,

      My cousin plays computer games a lot and he keeps on talking to me about various games. I don’t have any interest at all, but I find it difficult to stop him without hurting his feelings. Would you kindly give me some advice?

                                                                 --- Shy

Dear Molly,

      I’m feeling upset these days because the result of my last English exam was not as good as I had expected. My teacher comforted me, saying “Don’t worry. You can do better next time.” But I’m still feeling bad. I need your help.  

                                                         ----Disappointed
