In that moment, feeling Mother’s 12 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being so easy to 13 . She was still my mother, 14 she was something 15 : a person like me, capable of fear and 16 and failure.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 18 . “It’s a job I can do, though”she said simply.

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 1 feelings , will , motivation （动机）, interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists （心理学） 2 that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence 3 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
4 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 5 these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried 6 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 7 consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons 8 students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or 9 criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and 10 themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray（迷途）because they are sick of learning . 11 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 11.5 per cent of them were 12 of learning , because of examinations , 1.4 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 13 the lack of cultivation （培养） of non-intelligence factors has been a main 14 to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological （生理的）and 15 development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to 16 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the 17 of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward 18 about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should 19 understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue （调动）the objectives of learning , 20 their interests and toughening their willpower .

We’ve heard it before-we’ve heard it on the news, from teachers, from parents －children and teenagers today are growing up too fast. There are not too many people that will 1 with that statement. Teenagers are faced with serious problems and decisions at an early 2 . In fact most teenagers’ daily schedules（日程表）are as 3 as those of an adult’s.
I have been working since I was thirteen, and always in 4 in which I was working with adults （成年人）. I have had to learn to think and 5 like an adult to be taken seriously. So, I count myself as one who has grown up too fast. I just graduated from high school, and have recently spent some time reflecting（反思）on the 6 eighteen years－thinking about myself, what I have gained, and what 7 I have yet to achieve.
We are expected to work hard, get excellent 8 , be in a good relationship, and know what we want to do 9 . The list goes on and on. But the 10 is clear: We live in a society today that is 11 our childhood. We no longer have many years to be careless and fancy－free. We are expected to 12 the strict school rules and to excel （擅长）in everything we do.
I’ve known these things for a long time, and knew that they 13 me. But, I never really admitted it until last night, when I learned a 14 lesson, taught to me by my boss where I work. We had finished a job at a remote（遥远的）site. It was about 11:30 at night, and we had 15 to his house. We were talking about the 16 he had been making to his home. One of the things he said was “I 17 my basketball hoop（篮圈）. ”Then he threw a basketball to me.
I hadn’t 18 a basketball in five years.
We proceeded to shoot hoops for about 5 minutes. Both of us were terribly bad at it, but we spent the whole time 19 like children. Then I realized something: I am still a child. Oh, the law says I’m an adult. But, we are still really and truly children. We all need to have 20 once in a while.

Anthropology is a science which deals with man and his social habits. I think of anthropology here as “being interested, without 1, in the way other people choose to live and 2.”
—When you are curious about the way someone behaves or the way 3 feel about something, it’s 4 that you will he annoyed（恼火）.
When someone acts in a way that seems 5 to you, rather than react in your usual way, such as “I can't believe they would do that,” 6 say something to yourself like “I see, that must be the way they 7 things in their world. Very interesting.” In order for this 8 to help you, you have to be genuine (真诚的).
Recently I was at a shopping mall with my six-year old daughter 9 a group of punk rockers walked by with orange spiked hair and tattoos (纹身) covering much of their bodies. At the sight of them, my daughter immediately asked me, “Daddy, why are they 10 like that?” Years ago I would have felt very 11 with such young people. I would have given a judgmental explanation and passed along to her my 12. Pretending to be an anthropolgist, however, has 13 my perspective (看法) a great deal, so it’s made me 14 .I said to my daughter, “I’m not really sure, but it’s interesting how 15 we all are, isn’t it?” She said, “Yeah, 16 I like my own hair.”
When you are interested in other perspectives, it doesn’t mean you’re 17 them. I certainly wouldn’t choose a punk rock lifestyle or 18 it to anyone else. At the same time, however, it’s really not my 19 to judge it either. One of the most important rules of joyful living is that judging others takes a great deal of energy and 20 you away from where you want to be．
