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, interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists 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 dont 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 factors, malnutrition,（营养不良）or laziness, but they never take 42 account these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers dont inquire into these reasons 43 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44 criticize or laugh at them. _45_, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel 46 and give themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray（迷途）because they are sick of learning.

It even causes the 49 between physiological and psychological development among a few students.If we dont start now to 50 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 51 of teenagers, but also affect the _52_ of a whole generation. Some experts have 53 suggestions 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 the objectives of learning, 55 their interests and toughening their willpower.36. A. ones B. their C. his D. her37.

The countrys main airport is Colombo Bandaranaike, located 29km north of the capital city. Why now?The best time to visit Sri Lankas southern beaches is from November to April.

The ancient capital cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are worth seeing, and so are many outstanding ruins. Other must-sees are the rock fortress (要塞) of Sigiriya, towering over the jungle as far as the eye can see, and Dambullas cave temple, the countrys largest and best preserved. Both are UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Sites. Kandy is a picturesque town, which was the last stronghold of the Kandyan Kings.

You can explore the underwater world, and surfing and diving are available too. Away from the shore, wildlife is a big draw for Sri Lanka, and Yala National Park is one of the best places in the world to see wild animals including leopards (豹) and elephants.TasteSri Lanka is celebrated for its excellent food, with a particular emphasis on fresh fruit and vegetables on menus everywhere.

We learn from the passage that Sri Lanka_.A. is in the Pacific Ocean B. is famous for its excellent foodC. is the worlds largest producer of tea D. has flights only to LondonBChina news, Beijing, Feb. 9-Managers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk-but it seems that in terms of productivity, they could have it all wrong. A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking, say researchers from Germany. The researchers found in a series of linked studies - using a messy desk and a messy shop front- that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is ,visual and mental clutter（杂乱）forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious for their untidy desks. “Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to cause can boost work efficiency or enhance employees creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.Oddly, the effect seems to work most on conservatives-political liberals are less liable to be worried about mess in the first place, say the researchers. “Business and government managers often promote clean desk policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity.” Writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen, “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter ones mind and complicate ones judgments”“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested peoples response in various messy environments , including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking.“They categorized products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that depicts a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers.58. According to the text, a proper way to lead people towards clearer thinking is to _ . A. make a list of priorities B. simplify the tasks at hand C. follow famous people D. mess up their mind59. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example? A. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as celebrities. B. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad. C. To inform readers of one way to success-untidy desks. D. To attract readers and show the authors wide range of knowledge.60. The underlined word “detrimental” probably means _. A. disadvantageous B. useful C. beneficial D. accessible61. What is the main idea for this passage? A. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are. B. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees. C. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency. D. Clean desks can boost the employees productivity and creativity.C“This past year has been one of great celebrations for many. The enthusiasm which greeted the Diamond Jubilee (六十大庆）was, of course, especially memorable for me and my family.It was humbling that so many chose to mark the anniversary of a duty which passed to me 60 years ago. People of all ages took the trouble to take part in various ways and in many nations. But perhaps most striking of all was to witness the strength of fellowship and friendship among those who had gathered together on these occasions.On the barges and the bridges and the banks of River Thames there were people who had taken their places to cheer through the mist, undaunted (勇敢的) by the rain. That day there was a tremendous sense of common determination to celebrate, triumphing (胜利) over the elements.That same spirit was also in evidence from the moment the Olympic flame arrived on these shores. The flame itself drew hundreds and thousands of people on its journey around the British Isles, and was carried by every kind of deserving individual, many nominated for their own extraordinary service.As London hosted a splendid summer of sport, all those who saw the achievement and courage at the Olympic and Paralympic Games were further inspired by the skill, dedication, training and teamwork of our athletes. In pursuing their own sporting goals, they gave the rest of us the opportunity to share something of the excitement and drama.We were reminded, too, that the success of these great festivals depended to some degree upon the dedication and effort of an army of volunteers. Those public-spirited people came forward in the great tradition of all those who devote themselves to keeping others safe, supported and comforted.For many, Christmas is also a time for coming together. But for others, service will come first. Those serving in our armed forces, in our emergency services and in our hospitals, whose sense of duty takes them away from family and friends, will be missing those they love.At Christmas I am always struck by how the spirit of togetherness lies also at the heart of the Christmas story. A young mother and a dutiful father with their baby were joined by poor shepherds and visitors from afar. They came with their gifts to worship(崇拜）the Christ child. From that day on he has inspired people to commit themselves to the best interests of others.This is the time of year when we remember that God sent his only son to serve, not to be served. He restored love and service to the centre of our lives in the person of Jesus Christ.It is my prayer this Christmas Day that his example and teaching will continue to bring people together to give the best of themselves in the service of others.I wish you all a very happy Christmas.”62. Who most probably is the maker of this speech?A. Queen of Great Britain. B. King of Great Britain.C. Prime Minister of Great Britain. D. Mayor of London.63. What might be the main purpose of this speech?A. To make a summary of what has been done in the past year.B. To offer congratulations on the arrival of Christmas.C. To hold an anniversary celebration of an event.D. To express respect for and loyalty to God.64. Which of the following is not mentioned by the speaker?A. Enthusiasm and Friendship. B. Dedication and effort.C. Sacrifice and service D. Civilization and peace.65. Which of the following statements is true?A. The speaker was too busy to attend the 2012 London Olympics.B. Volunteers played a key role in the success of the Diamond Jubilee.C. The speaker showed great respect for those still at work at Christmas.D. The strength of Christmas story lies in the worship of Jesus Christ.DIt was time to break free. I needed to run away and the Bloomsburg Fair was the best place to go. I dont know if you can call it running away when it was only an hour away from my home. But once I entered the fair grounds, I crossed over into another world. The loudspeaker offered background music over the sounds of people of people talking, bargaining and food sellers yelling for your attention.I belonged here. I didnt know if I had it in my blood or not, but I always wanted to have a small food stand and travel in my off season from fair to fair selling goodies. Perhaps one day. It certainly wasnt a priority in my life, Perhaps it should be.After I was there a while, I needed to get away to a quiet spot. Most of the time, I could find that anywhere the farm animals were kept. They needed the quiet. So I went there to find peace with the cows, goats, horses, pigs and yes, the turkeys. Youd think being this close to Thanksgiving, theyd be a little scared, but they were not. It was in the dairy barn（仓库）where I found peace this time. I so admired the young folks who tended to farm animals. I thought they had a greater appreciation for life. They participated in it firsthand. I once watched a young farmer help bring a baby cow into the world. My favorite scene was to come across a young cowboy lying in the hay asleep among the cows that had settled down for a rest. There, with his heads in a small soft spot alongside his favorite cow, I had seen him in a much deserved sleep. Perhaps better at rest there than in his own bed. I had the pleasure of speaking with a young teenage farm girl that day. You look so comfortable, I said
