It’s only too natural that personal characteristics play a vital role in the development of one's intelligence. But people 36to realize the importance of cultivating (培养) these factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include one’s 37 , will, motivation, interests and habits. In their studies American psychologists 38the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence.
39people know one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents don’t 40cultivating these factors.
Some parents are 41when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take 42consideration these non-intelligence factors. Some teachers don’t inquire into such reasons as 43students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44scold or laugh at them. After all these, students lose self-confidence. Some 45themselves up as hopeless, feeling defeated. Others 46take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning. An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students showed that 46.5% of them were 47
of learning because of examinations; 36.4% lacked persistence and 10.3% were sick of learning.
It is clear that 48of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49__to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 50development among students.
If we don’t start now to 51the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only block the development of 52of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 53about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.
Parents and teachers should 54understand teenage psychology. On this basic, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning, 55their interests in their studies and toughening their willpower.
