We have been driving in fog all morning, but the fog is lifting now. The little seaside villages are   , one by one. "There is my grandmother's house," I say,      across the bay to a shabby old house.
I am in Nova Scotia on a pilgrimage (朝圣) with Lise, my granddaughter, seeking roots for her, retracing (追溯)      memory for me. Lise was one of the mobile children,      from house to house in childhood. She longs for a sense of      , and so we have come to Nova Scotia where my husband and I were born and where our ancestors      for 200 years.
We soon     by the house and I tell her what it was like here, the memories    back, swift as the tide (潮水).
Suddenly, I long to walk again in the     where I was once so gloriously a child. It still    a member of the family, but has not been lived in for a while. We cannot go into the house, but I can still walk      the rooms in memory. Here, my mother      in her bedroom window and wrote in her diary. I can still see the enthusiastic family      into and out of the house. I could never have enough of being      them. However, that was long after those childhood days. Lise       attentively as I talk and then says, " So this is where I      ; where I belong. "
She has      her roots. To know where I come from is one of the great longings of the human     To be rooted is "to have an origin". We need      origin. Looking backward, we discover what is unique in us; learn the        of "I". We must all go home again—in reality or memory.

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’（非智力因素）include    36     feelings , will , motivation （动机）, interests and habits . After a 30-year follow-up study of 8000 males , American psychologists （心理学）   37     that the main cause of disparities in intelligence is not intelligence     38    , but non-intelligence factors including the desire to learn , will power and self-confidence .
39    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     40    these factors .
Some parents are greatly worried    41     their children fail to do well in their studies . They blame either genetic （遗传的）factors , malnutrition ,（营养不良）or laziness , but they never take     42    consideration these non-intelligence factors . At the same time , some teachers don’t inquire into these , as reasons    43     students do poorly . They simply give them more courses and exercises , or     44    criticize or laugh at them . After all , these students lose self-confidence . Some of them just feel defeated and     45    themselves up as hopeless . Others may go astray（迷途）because they are sick of learning .   46     investigation of more than 1,000 middle school students in Shanghai showed that 46.5 per cent of them were   47      of learning , because of examinations , 36.4 per cent lacked persistence , initiative （主动）and consciousness （正直地、谨慎的）and 10.3 per cent were sick of learning .
It is clear    48     the lack of cultivation （培养） of non-intelligence factors has been a main     49    to intelligence development in teenagers . It even causes an imbalance between physiological （生理的）and    50     development among a few students .
If we don’t start now to   51      the cultivation of non-intelligence factors , it will not only affect the development of the   52      of teenagers , but also affect the quality of a whole generation . Some experts have put forward    53     about how to cultivate students’ non-intelligence factors .
First , parents and teachers should    54     understand teenage psychology . On this basis , they can help them to pursue （调动）the objectives of learning ,     55   their interests and toughening their willpower .

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（竞选）finance reform（改革）. The people who are 36 for reform usually want the 37 to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates（候选人）and their 38 can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 39 for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 40 money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 41 so many money raising events.
Another 42 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 43 by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 44 .
On the 45 side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 46 just because you call something “reform”. They argue that the right to freedom of speech is 47 if the government can limit anyone’s ability to get his or her message out to the people.
If one person or a group of people want to tell the 48 what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy 49 on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of 50 .
Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 51 or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 52 discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 53 .
What do you think about this 54 ? Listen to what the candidates for national office have to say. Which candidates 55 the most sense to you?

Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a     50    , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With    51     eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to    52     I love you”.
I said good-bye , and for the first time I    53     a flicker of hope that somehow things would be    54     . With people like Mr Rader in the world , there was hope , kindness and love , and that would always make a    55     .
