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　 16　 feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits. After a 30-year-follow-up study of 8 000 males, American psychologists (心理学家)　 17　 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence　 18　 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence.

　 19　 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　 20　 these factors.

Some parents are greatly worried　 21　 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　 22　 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers don’t inquire into these as reasons　 23　 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or　 24　 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and　 25　 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray (迷途的) because they are sick of learning.　 26　 investigation of more than 1000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 percent of them were　 27　 of learning, because of examinations, 36. 4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10. 3 percent were sick of learning.

It is clear　 28　 the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main　 29　 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological (生理的)and　 30　 development among a few students.

If we don’t start now to　 31　 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the　 32　 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward　 33　 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors.

First, parents and teachers should　 34 　understand teenage psychology. On this basis, they can help them to pursue (调动) the objectives of learning,　 35　 their interests and toughening their will-power.
