include
__1_
feelings
,will,motivation,interests
and
a 30-year follow-up
study of 8000 males,American psychologists _2__
that the main
cause of disparities in

intelligence factors including
the
desire to learn ,will-power and self-confidence.
_4__ people 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

DAY10
Have you ever wondered
what our future is like? Practically all people
_1_ a desire to predict their
future
_2_.Most
people
seem
inclined
to
_3_
this
task
using
causal
reasoning.
First
we
_4_
recognize
that future circumstances are _5_ caused or
conditioned by present ones. We learn that
getting an education will _6_ how much
money we earn later and that swimming beyond the
reef
may
bring
an
unhappy
_7_
with
a
shark.
Second,
people
also
learn
that
such
_8_
of
cause
and
effect are
probabilistic(
可能的
) in
nature. That is, the effects occur more often when
the causes
occur than when the causes
are _9_, but not always. Thus, students learn that
studying hard _10_
good grades in most
instances, but not every time. Science makes these
concepts of causality and
probability
more _11_ and provides techniques for dealing _12_
then more accurately than does
causal
human inquiry. In looking at ordinary human
inquiry, we need to _13_ between prediction
and understanding. Often, even if we
don't understand why, we are willing to act _14_
the basis of
a
demonstrated
predictive
ability.
Whatever
the
primitive
drives
_15_
motivate
human
beings,
satisfying them depends heavily on the
ability to_16_future circumstances. The attempt to
predict
is
often
played
in
a
_17_
of
knowledge
and
understanding.
If
you
can
understand
why
certain
regular
patterns
_18_,you
can
predict
better
than
if
you
simply
observe
those
patterns.
Thus,
human inquiry aims _19_ answering both
by observing and figuring out.

Most worthwhile
careers require some kind of specialized training.
Ideally, therefore, the choice of
an

most people make several
job choices during their working lives,

and
partly
to

to work in which they are

One common mistake is
choosing an occupation for

real or imagined prestige. Too

The horse
and carriage is a thing of past, but love and
marriage axe still with us and still closely
interrelated.
Most
American
marriages,

uniting
young
people,
are
the
result of mutual attraction and
affection
(2)
than practical
considerations.
In
the United
States, parents
do not
(3)
marriages
for
their
children. Teenagers
begin
(4)
in high school and usually find mates
through their own academic and social

.
Though young people feel
free to choose their friends from
(6)
groups, most choose a
mate
of similar

parental guidance. Parents cannot

but
they

(10)
,
marriages
between
members
of
different
groups
(interclass,
interfaith,
and
interracial marriages)
are
(11)
, probably because of the
greater mobility of today's youth and
the fact that they are
(12)
by fewer prejudices than
their parents. Many young people leave
their
hometowns
to
attend
college,
serve
in
the
armed
forces,
(13)
pursue
a
career
in
a
bigger city. Once away
from home and family, they are more

to date and many outside
their own social group.
In

American

interclass

are
neither

nor

Interfaith
marriages
are

On the other hand, interracial marriages are still
