But people 36 to realize the importance of cultivating (培养) these factors. The so-called “non-intelligence factors” include ones 37 , will, motivation, interests and habits. In their studies American psychologists 38 the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself, but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will-power and self-confidence. 39 people know one should have definite objectives, a strong will and good learning habits, quite a number of teachers and parents dont 40 cultivating these factors.Some parents are 41 when their children fail to do well in their studies. They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition, or laziness, but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors.

How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Every time someone complains to me, I can choose to accept his complaints or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.”Several years later, I heard that Jerry was shot by three armed robbers. Luckily, Jerry was found relatively quickly and rushed to the hospital. Finally Jerry was released from the hospital with fragments of the bullets still in his body. About six months after the accident, I saw him. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place.“The first thing that went through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I choose to live.”“Werent you scared?”Jerry continued, “The doctors and nurses were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read, Hes a dead man. I knew I needed to take action.”“What did you do?” I asked.“Well, there was a big, strong nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. Yes, I replied. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, Bullets! Over their laughter, I told them, I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.”Jerry lived thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully.56. Which of the following words can be used to describe Jerry?A. Impolite. B. Concerned. C. Stubborn. D. Optimistic.57. What did Jerry first think of when the robbery happened?A. He might be shot by the armed robbers. B. He shouldnt have left the back door unlocked.C. How he could call the policemen. D. He might be robbed of many things.58. From the expressions of the doctors and nurses, Jerry realized that _.A. they didnt want to save his life B. he wasnt seriously woundedC. they thought he had little chance to live D. he was treated as a dead manBEverywhere you look, large quantities of information in the world are pouring. This data flood is already starting to transform business, government, science and everyday life. It has great potential for good as long as consumers, companies and governments make the right choices about when to restrict the flow of data, and when to encourage it.A few industries have led the way in their ability to gather and take advantage of the data. Credit-card companies monitor every purchase and can identify cheats with a high degree of accuracy. Stolen credit cards are more likely to be used to buy hard liquor than wine, for example, because it is easier to overlook. Insurance firms are also good at combining clues to spot doubtful claims: dishonest claims are more likely to be made on a Monday than a Tuesday, since policyholders (保险客户) who stage accidents tend to assemble friends as false witnesses over the weekend. By combining many such rules, it is possible to work out which cards are likeliest to have been stolen, and which claims are untrue. By analyzing “basket data”, supermarkets can make promotions to appeal to particular customers preferences. The oil industry uses supercomputers to help them before drilling wells.But the data flood also poses risks. There are many examples of databases being stolen: disks full of social-security data go missing, laptops loaded with tax records are left in taxis, credit-card numbers are stolen by online purchase. The result can be privacy made public, identity stolen and cheats permitted large space. Rather than owning and controlling their own personal data, they very often find that they have lost control of it.The best way to deal with the data flood is to make more data available in the right way, by requiring greater transparency in several areas. First, users should be given greater access to and control over the information held about them, including whom it is shared with. Google allows users to see what information it holds about them, and lets them delete their search histories or modify the targeting of advertising, for example. Second, organizations should be required to disclose details of security breaches, as is already the case in some parts of the world, to encourage bosses to take information security more seriously. Third, organizations should be subject to an annual security check, with the resulting grade made public (though details of any problems exposed would not be). This would encourage companies to keep their security measures up to date.59. What is the best title for this passage?A. Information Flood B. Benefits of Data Flood C. Harms of Data Flood D. How to Use Data in a Right Way60. From the passage we can infer that _.A. lots of data are lost because of hardware problemsB. online purchases are becoming more and more popularC. credit cards are not so secure to use and will go out of use very soonD. insurance firms have to investigate before they confirm their policyholders claims61. Which of the following is the writers opinion about how to deal with the data flood?A. Personal information should be used for public benefits.B. The users should be given the right to access public information.C. Companies should update their measures to guarantee their data safety.D. Organizations should keep their resulting grade of security checks unknown to the public.62. From the passage we can conclude that _.A. the data flood makes peoples life less convenient and more expensive B. companies and insurance firms are responsible for the data flood C. the information flood is more useful to organizations than to individuals D. the information flood has both positive and negative influence on modern life CEscape to the Sunny Isles of the CaribbeanSnowmageddon!
