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‖ include one‘s feelings, will, motivation, interests and habits．After a 30-year follow up study of 8,000 males, American psychologists50that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence51 , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn, will power and self-confidence．
52people 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 53 these factors．
Some parents are greatly worried when their children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors, malnutrition（营养不良） or laziness, but they never take54consideration these non-intelligence factors．At the same time, some teachers don‘t inquire into these, as reasons55students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises, or56 criticize or laugh at them．After all, these students lose self-confidence．Some of them just feel defeated and57themselves up as hopeless．Others may go astray（堕落）because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46．5 percent of them were58of learning, because of examinations, 36．4 percent lacked persistence, initiative and consciousness and 10．3 percent were sick of learning．
It is clear that the lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors has been a main 59 to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and 60 development among a few students．
If we don‘t start now to61the cultivation of non-intelligence factors, it will not only affect the development of the intelligence of teenagers, but also affect the quality of a whole generation．Some experts have put forward62about how to cultivate students‘ non-intelligence factors．
First, parents and teachers should63understand teenage psychology．On this basis, they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning， 64their interests and toughening their willpower．

Starting next year, Ford Motor Co. will allow parents to limit the speed at which their teenage children drive their cars.
The company will make a 36 feature on many 2010 models that can 37 teen drivers to 80mph(130kph), using a computer chip in the 38. Parents in the United States, where most teens can get their 39 at 16, also have the option of programming the car key to limit the audio system‘s volume, and to sound continuous alerts if the driver doesn‘t wear a 40. ―Our message to 41 is, hey, we are providing you some conditions to give your new drivers that may allow you to feel a little more comfortable in giving them the car more often,‖ said Jim Buczkowski, Ford‘s director of electronic and electrical systems engineering.
More than 5,000 US teens die each year in car 42. The rate of crashes, fatal and nonfatal, per mile driven for 16-year-old drivers is almost 10 times the 43 for drivers ages 30 to 59, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The new feature, called ―MtKey‖, will be standard on an unspecified number of Ford models when the 2010 cars and trucks come out late next summer. Ford arrived at the 80 mph limit even though freeway speed limits are lower in most states because it wanted to leave a margin 44 an unusual situation arises, Buczkowski said. In some states, freeway speed limits are above 70 mph.
The company already uses computer chips in its keys to prevent thefts. The car won‘t start 45 it recognizes the chip in the key.
