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（动机），interests and habits. After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males, American psychologists（心理学） 37 that the main cause of disparities（不一致） 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（目的）, 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 （遗传的）factors, malnutrition, （营养不良）or laziness, but they never take 42 consideration these non-intelligence factors. At the same time, some teachers dont inquire into these, as reasons 43 students do poorly. They simply give them more courses and exercises, or 44 criticize or laugh at them. After all, these students lose self-confidence. Some of them just feel defeated and 45 themselves up as hopeless. Others may go astray（迷途）because they are sick of learning. 46 investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were 47 of learning, because of examinations, 36.4 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 48 the lack of cultivation（培养）of non-intelligence factors has been a main 49 to intelligence development in teenagers. It even causes an imbalance between physiological（生理的）and 50 development among a few students.If we dont start now to 51 the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the 52 of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation. Some experts have put forward 53 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（调动）the objectives of learning, 55 their interests and toughening their willpower.36. A. onesB. theirC. hisD. her37.

Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span (寿命).“ I think we are knocking at the door of immortality,” said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. “ I think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate (保守的估计).At a conference（会议）in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in gene research as well as nanotechnology make it likely that humans will live longer in the future. “There is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,” he said. “Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people can live up to 200 to even 500 years.”However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about this and say the human body is not designed to last about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less diseases, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. “ It remains to be seen if you pass 120; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life” said Leonard Poon, director of the Gerontology Center, the University of Georgia. “At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.56. By saying “we are knocking at the door immortality”, Michael Zey means _.A. they already know how to live foreverB. they are sure to find the truth about long livingC. they have got some ideas about how to live much longerD. they are able to make people live past the present life span57. Donald Lourias attitude toward long living is that _.A. people can live from 120 to 500 yearsB. it is still doubtful how long humans can live.C. The human body is designed to last about 120 years.D. It is possible for humans to live longer in the future.58. In Paragraph 4, the underlined word “this” refers to _.A. a great pushB. the idea of living a little longer beyond the present life span.C. The idea that nanotechnology will make people live from 200 to 300 years.D. The conservative estimate59.What would be the best title for the text ?A. Living Longer or Not B. Science, Technology and FutureC. No Limit for Human Life D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long LivingBSmile, when making an introduction.Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations. And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression. Its important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other. To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction.Always stand when making an introduction.When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up. By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person.Always maintain eye contact(接触) while making an introduction.Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action. When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image.Always introduce a person of lesser authority(权威) to one of greater authority. The most important thing to remember is to say the most important persons name first.For example, when introducing your supervisor(管理者，领导) to a job candidate(候选人), you would give your supervisors name first. “Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”In a situation where rank(等级) is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age. A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman.What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other persons name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself. By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same.However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name. This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us. The other person should be forgiving.60. The article gives you advice on _.A. how to make a self-introductionB. how to make a proper introductionC. how to leave a good impression on peopleD. how to greet people in social situations61. According to the passage, people will think you are _ if you dont make eye contact with them.A. not honest B. not confident C. shy D. unfriendly62. What should you do when you introduce a new worker to your boss?A. You should not give your boss name.B. You should give the new workers name first.C. You neednt give your boss name.D. You should give your boss name first.63. If you forget the other persons name, youd better _.A. ask him/her directlyB. apologize first and then ask him/herC. shake hands with the person and reintroduce yourselfD. consider his age firstCWe have two daughters: Kristen is seven years old and Kelly is four. Last Sunday evening,we invited some people home for dinner. I dressed them nicely for the party, and told them that their job was to join Mommy in answering the door when the bell rang. Mommy would introduce them to the guests, and then they would take the guests coats upstairs and put them on the bed in the second bedroom.The guests arrived. I introduced my two daughters to each of them. The adults were nice and kind and said how lucky we were to have such good kids.Each of the guests made a particular fuss over Kelly, the younger one, admiring her dress, her hair and her smile. They said she was a remarkable girl to be carrying coats upstairs at her age.I thought to myself that we adults usually make a big “to do” over the younger one because shes the one who seems more easily hurt. We do it with the best of intentions.But we seldom think of how it might affect the other child. I was a little worried that Kristen would feel she was being outshined. I was about to serve dinner when I realized that she had been missing for twenty minutes. I ran upstairs and found her in the bedroom, crying. I said, “What are you doing here, my dear?”She turned to me with a sad expression and said, “Mommy, why dont people like me the way they like my sister? Is it because Im not pretty? Is that why they dont say nice things about me as much?”I tried to explain to her, kissing and hugging her to make her feel better.Now whenever I visit a friends home, I make it a point to speak to the elder child first.64. The underlined expression “make a big to do over”(paragraph 4) means_.A. show much concern aboutB. have a special effect onC. list jobs to be done forD. do good things for65. We can conclude (得出结论) from the passage that_.A. parents should pay more attention to the elder childrenB. the younger children are usually more easily hurtC. people usually like the younger children moreD. adults should treat children equally66. The guests praised Kelly for carrying coats upstairs because of her_.A. beautiful hair B. pretty clothes C. lovely smile D. young age67. Kristen felt sad and cried because_.A. the guest gave her more coats to carryB. she didnt look as pretty as KellyC. the guests praised her sister more than herD. her mother didnt introduce her the guestsD When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars. A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should prove it. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont want an end to the relationship. The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong even if youve been wronged. Over the course of friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view(观点). And finally, accept that friendships changes as our needs and lifestyles(生活方式) change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the nature ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture(培养).68.Wh
