31、ories of successful people BWhen it comes to academic achievement, intelligence is an important factor-butit is certainly not the only, or even the most important factor.According to a new Australian study, personality is a better predictor of success in school than intelligence as measured by tradi

32、tional standardized tests. Specifically, students who were more hard-working and opener perform better academically than those who were merely intelligent.Australian researchers compared measurements of the Big Five personalitytraits （ 特 性 ） extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousnes

33、s and openness to experience to college students gradesand test scores. They asked students to complete personality self-assessment, and also asked others who knew the students well to complete assessments of them. They found that the students self -assessments were as effective as intelligence in p

34、redicting academic performance, and that the reports from those who knew them well were nearly times more accurate in predicting academic performance than intelligence.The researchers found that the factors of openness and conscientiousness had the largest influence on academic success, in agreement

35、 with previous research which has linked these two traits with various types of achievement Studies have shown openness to experience which has to do with intellectual curiosity, and how excited we get to acquire new information-to be thenumber-one predictor of creative achievement.Conscientiousness

36、, on the other hand, is the only one of the Big Five traits that is consistently predicting success.“ In practical terms, the amount of effort students are prepared to put in, and where that effort is focused are at least as important as whether thestudents arc smart. ” the study s lead author, Dr.

37、Arthur Poropat of Griffith University's School of Applied Psychology, said in a statement.“And astudent with the most helpful personality will score a full grade higher than an average student in this regard. ”The findings come as an important reminder that children who may not be considered “sm

38、art ” by traditional measures may still become highlysuccessful through their own efforts. And since personality may be more malleable （可塑的）than intellectual capability, helping struggling students develop beneficial personality traitsparticularly intellectualcuriosity and a strong sense of work res

39、ponsibility maybe a powerful means of improving academic performance. Fortunately, high-IQ students who struggle more with attitude and social skills can also learn to develop these qualities."Personality does change and someeducators indeed have trained aspects of students ' conscientiousn

40、ess and openness, leading them to greater learning capacity , “ Poropat said in the statement."By contrast, there is littleevidence that intelligence can be'taught ' , despite the popularity ofbrain- training apps. ”54. According to the passage, intelligence.A. is one of the Big Five pe

41、rsonality traitsB. has a great influence on success in schoolC. plays a decisive role in academic performanceD. is more accurate than personality in predicting success55. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Students didn ' t make self -assessments seriously.B. Intelligence accurately p

42、redicted academic performance.C. Students self-assessments are not related to their intelligence.D. Assessments done by others are more reliable than self-assessments.56. For a creative job, which of the following counts most?A.Intelligence. B. Responsibility. C. Openness. D. Conscientiousness.57. T

43、he author tries to imply thatA. high-IQ students have good personality traitsB. intelligence can be developed with brain-training appsC. personality-training may help unintelligent students achieve successD. openness and conscientiousness aren t very important to smart children CIt s not easy for di

44、sabled people to do what they want to do. But one dayin the not-too-distant future, advanced versions of devices could makelife easier for many such people. Take, for example, someonewho has lost the use of his/her hand. That s a problem more commonthan most people realize, says Kyu Jin Cho. He s a

45、mechanical engineer at Seoul National University in Korea. About 500,000 people end up in a wheelchair each year. Of those, around half also suffer injuries to their hands, Cho notes. And that number doesn tinclude the people who suffer injuries just to their hands.To deal with this, Cho and his tea

46、m have designed a glove madefrom a flexible, rubberlike material. It has three fingers that fit over the wearer s thumb, index finger and middle finger. Wires attached to those fingers can be moved by a small motor. The motor, controlled by a simple switch （开关 ） ， pulls on the wires to open and clos

47、e the hand. The result is a glove that can help people hold objects tightly.Clio s group calls Us invention the Exo -Glove Poly. Exo is from （he Greek for “outside ”， It refers textile fact that this glove is worn outside the user's body. Poly, the Greek for "many' refers to the fact th

48、at the glove s rubberlike material is a polymer.Other researchers have designed gloves that pick up nerve impulses （神经冲动） from a user' s arm muscles to help control a glove s movements. But those earlier devices were relatively complex. If produced, they would becostly, notes Cho. People who hav

49、e tested the Exo-Glove Poly like its simplicity, he says. Another benefit: It ' s waterproof. That meansusers can wash their hands or clean dishes while wearing it. The glove also can be removed and washed when it gets dirty.Often it takes years from when an engineer first has an idea to the tim

50、e a useful product becomes available for sale. That delay can be especially frustrating when the device is intended to help someonewhois disabled. But a new engineering competition might help speed innovations （新发明）from the lab to the people in need.It is called Cybathlon. This is a contest for cybe

51、r-systems. This event is intended to promote new and more muscle-assisting research across medicine, robotics, engineering and chemistry. Now, Cybathlon is held every four years. But if it is successful, maybe it could be held every two years* Expanding the number of events would be very useful, say

52、s Cho. People have many sorts of disabilities, he notes. The more events there are, the more people that the competitors could eventually help.58. What Kyu Jin Cho says in Paragraph 1 mainly shows that . A. disabled people can ' t do what they wantB. a lot of people are limited to a wheelchairC.

53、 h and injuries haven ' t drawn enough attentionD. many people need devices to help their hands move59. What do we know about the device designed by Cho and his team?A. It is controlled by a computer.B. It requires its user to have five fingers.C. It aims at helping people move around,D. It main

54、ly helps people move their fingers.60. Compared with other similar devices, the Exo-Glove Poly.A.is much more flexible B. is simpler to operateC.is much more complex D.is less convenient to use61. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The disabled are in need of assistanceB. New devices ar

55、e coming to assist the disabledC. Mechanical engineers are working on new devicesD. A new glove has been invented to help the disabled DMynotebooks and I are inseparable.Look inside,and you will find stories from a girt with a heart and a mind of her own.WhenI write,I create a world where I have com

56、plete countrol and can escape from the pressure of everyday life.My story ideas are so fluid that they can come at any time,so I alway keep a notebook with me to record them.I have been writing since the third grade when my teacher gave the class an assignment to write a short poem.My Poem was good

57、for me.It became my way to relax and to escape.I wrote every day and found myself more relaxed.In the fifth grade,my teacher“forced" us to keep a journal,but the requirement was not a problem for mesince I was always writing. I wrote to also wrote to rebel（ 反抗）whenever I was tired of having to

She was the result of an innocent idea to be free from the restraints of the world around me. she says the things that I can't say aloud-In her world, she easily faces and overcomes all difficulties. Kasumi is stubborn, fearless and brave. She also has a career and a
