25、a healthy way,” she adds.“Whats better than seeing great results in just 21 days?” Wayne NobesLike so many, Wayne gained those “happiness pounds” in the first year of marriage. Too many nights of eating out made him overweight. But when his wife became pregnant(怀孕的)，everything changed. On THE DIGEST

31、cessful peopleBWhen it comes to academic achievement, intelligence is an important factor-but it 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 traditional stand
32、ardized 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 personality traits (特性)extraversion, neuroticism, agreeableness, conscientiousness and openness
33、to experience to college students grades and test scores. They 8asked 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 predicting acad
34、emic 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 with previous
35、 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 the number-one predictor of creative achievement.Conscientiousness, on the othe
36、r 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 the students arc smart.”the studys lead author, Dr. Arthur Poropat o
37、f Griffith Universitys School of Applied Psychology, said in a statement. “And a student 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 “smart” by traditional
38、measures may still become highly successful through their own efforts. And since personality may be more malleable (可塑的）than intellectual capability, helping struggling students develop beneficial personality traits particularly intellectual curiosity and a strong sense of work responsibility may be
39、 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 some educators indeed have trained aspects of students conscientiousness and openness, leading t
40、hem to greater learning capacity，” Poropat said in the statement. “By contrast, there is little 9evidence that intelligence can be taught，despite the popularity of brain-training apps.”54. According to the passage, intelligence .A. is one of the Big Five personality traitsB. has a great influence on
41、 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 didnt make self-assessments seriously.B. Intelligence accurately predicted academic performance.C. Students self-asse
42、ssments 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. The author tries to imply that .A. high-IQ students
43、have good personality traitsB. intelligence can be developed with brain-training appsC. personality-training may help unintelligent students achieve successD. openness and conscientiousness arent very important to smart childrenCIts not easy for disabled people to do what they want to do. But one da
44、y in the not-too-distant future, advanced versions of devices could make life easier for many such people. Take, for example, someone who has lost the use of his/her hand. Thats a problem more common than most people realize, says Kyu Jin Cho. Hes a mechanical engineer at Seoul National University i
45、n 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 doesnt include the people who suffer injuries just to their hands.To deal with this, Cho and his team have designed a glove made from a flexible, rubb
46、erlike material. It has three fingers that fit over the wearers 10thumb, 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 close the hand. The result is a glove that can help peo
47、ple hold objects tightly.Clios 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 users body. Poly, the Greek for “many refers to the fact that the gloves rubberlike material is a polymer.Other researchers have
48、designed gloves that pick up nerve impulses (神经冲动）from a users arm muscles to help control a gloves movements. But those earlier devices were relatively complex. If produced, they would be costly, notes Cho. People who have tested the Exo-Glove Poly like its simplicity, he says. Another benefit: Its
49、 waterproof. That means users 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 time a useful product becomes available for sale. That delay can be especially frustrating when the device is intended to help someone who is disabled. But a new engineering competition might help spe
