Question

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 psychologists1  that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence2   , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．

3   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 4   these factors．

Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition（營(yíng)養(yǎng)不良）or laziness, but they never take 5    consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these, as reasons6  students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or7        criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and8  themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray（墮落）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 were9   of 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 10  to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 　11   development among a few students．

If we don’t start now to12  the 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 forward13   about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors．

First, parents and teachers should14   understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning，15   their interests and toughening their willpower．
