[1]Global difference in intelligence is a sensitive topic, long filled with a large number of different opinions. But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the "Flynn effect". Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even non-agricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectious-disease rates.
[2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the "most costly organ in the human body". Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development________________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection.
[3]Using data on national "disease burdens" (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated. The countries with the lowest average IQ scores have the highest disease burdens without exception. On the contrary, nations with low disease burdens top the IQ list.
[4]If the study holds water, it could be revolutionary for our understanding of the still-confusing variation in national intelligence scores.

Ⅲ.Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
