Hall says that she has gtten sme strange lks frm peple，but n irritating cmments. It may have smething t d with the fact that the dress is nt the fanciest, but she believes peple are just t reserved t say anything. Anyway, she desn’t really care, because she knws she has t hit the gal she has set and wearing the dress multiple times is the mst reasnable way she culd think f t make the mst f her wedding dress.

Wuld yu BET n the future f this man? He is 53 years ld. Mst f his adult life has been a lsing struggle against debt and misfrtune. A war injury has made his left hand stp functining, and he has ften been in prisn. Driven by heaven-knws-what mtives， he determines t write a bk.
The bk turns ut t be ne that has appealed t the wrld fr mre than 350 years. That frmer prisner was Cervantes, and the bk was Dn Quixte (《堂吉河德》）• And the stry pses an interesting questin: why d sme peple discver new vitality and creativity t the end f their days，while thers g t seed lng befre?
We’ve all knwn peple wh run ut f steam befre they reach life’s halfway mark. I，m nt talking abut thse wh fail t get t the tp. We can’t all get there. I’m talking abut peple wh have stpped learning n grwing because they have adpted the fixed attitudes and pinins that all t ften cme with passing years.
Mst f us, in fact, prgressively narrw the variety f ur lives. We succeed in ur field f specializatin and then becme trapped in it. Nthing surprises us. We lse ur sense f wnder. But，if we are willing t learn，the pprtunities are everywhere.
The things we learn in maturity seldm invlve infrmatin and skills. We learn t bear with the things we can’t change. We learn t avid self-pity. We learn that hwever much we try t please，sme peple are never ging t lve us—an idea that trubles at first but is eventually relaxing.
With high mtivatin and enthusiasm, we can keep n learning. Then we will knw hw imprtant it is t have meaning in ur life. Hwever, we can achieve meaning nly if we have made a cmmitment t smething larger than ur wn little egs (自我），whether t lved nes，t fellw humans, t wrk, r t sme mral cncept.
Many f us equate (视…等同于)“cmmitment” with such “caring” ccupatins as teaching and nursing. But ding any rdinary jb as well as ne can is in itself an admirable cmmitment. Peple wh wrk tward such excellence— whether they are driving a truck，r running a stre make the wrld better just by being the kind f peple they are. They’ve learned life’s mst valuable lessn.

“If I nly had a little humility, I’d be perfect, ” the media giant Ted Turner suppsedly said smetime in the 1990s. Why be mdest? Aristtle said: “All men by nature desire t knw. ” Intellectual humility is a particular instance f humility，since yu can be dwn-t-earth abut mst things but still ignre yur mental limitatins.
Intellectual humility means recgnising that we dn’t knw everything. Actually, it means we shuld acknwledge that we’re prbably biased in ur belief abut just hw much we understand and seek ut the surces f wisdm that we lack.
The Internet and digital media have created the impressin f limitless knwledge at ur fingertips. But, by making us lazy, they have pened up a space that ignrance can fill. The psychlgist Tania Lmbrz f the University f Califrnia explained hw technlgy enhances ur illusins (错觉） f wisdm. She argues that the way we access infrmatin is critical t ur understanding—and the mre easily we can recall an image, wrd r statement, the mre likely we’ll think we’ve successfully learned it, and s withdraw frm effrtful cgnitive prcessing. Lgical puzzles presented in an unfriendly fnt (字体），fr example, can encurage smene t make extra effrt t slve them. Yet this apprach runs cunter t the nice designs f the apps and sites that ppulate ur screens，where ur brain prcesses infrmatin in a “smth” way. What abut all the infrmatin that presents nline? Well，yur capacity t learn frm it depends n yur attitude. Intellectually humble peple dn’t hide r ignre their weaknesses. In fact, they see them as surces f persnal develpment, and use arguments as an pprtunity t refine their views. Peple wh are humble by nature tend t be mre pen-minded and quicker t reslve disputes, since they recgnise that their wn pinins might nt be valid.
At the ther end f the scale lies intellectual arrgance. Such arrgance almst always riginates frm the egcentric bias—the tendency t verestimate their wn virtue r imprtance，ignring the rle f chance r the influence f ther peple’s actins n their lives. This is what makes these peple credit success t themselves and failure t circumstance. Frm an evlutinary perspective, intellectual arrgance can als be seen as a way f achieving dminance thrugh frcing ne’s view n thers. Intellectually arrgant peple hardly invest mental resurces in discussin r wrking twards grup cnsensus，thus making it hard fr grups t wrk successfully.
The Thrive Center fr Human Develpment in Califrnia, which seeks t help yung peple turn int successful adults， is funding a series f majr studies abut intellectual humility. Their hypthesis is that humility, curisity and penness are key t a fulfilling life. “Withut humility, yu are unable t leam, ” Laszl Bck, Ggle’s Head f Peple Operatins, ntes.
12. What is the passage mainly abut ?
A. The harm arrgance des t us.
B. The key elements t a fulfilling life.
C. The significance f intellectual humility.
D. The way peple access infrmatin nline.
13. Why des technlgy enhance ur illusins f wisdm?
A. It enables peple t think critically.
B. It ffers t much unreliable infrmatin.
C. It allws easy access t abundant infrmatin.
D. It makes it hard fr peple t recall infrmatin.
14. What can we learn frm intellectually humble peple accrding t Paragraph 3?
A. They value thers，pinins mre than their wn.
B. They use nline infrmatin t imprve themselves.
C. They are unwilling t shw their strengths.
D. They prefer t slve difficult prblems.
15. What will the authr prbably agree?
A. Intellectual arrgance is the result f evlutin.
B. Intellectually arrgant peple ften lack team spirits.
C. Successful peple are ften unaware f their limitatins.
D. Circumstances dn’t favr intellectually arrgant peple.

Hw much is a child’s future success determined by brn intelligence? Mst guess arund 25 percent, even 50 percent. 16 S if IQ is nly a minr factr in success，what is it that separates the lw earners frm the high nes?
Science desn’t have a definitive answer, althugh luck certainly plays a rle. But anther key factr is persnality. Financial success was crrelated with cnscientiusness, a particular quality in yur persnality marked by diligence， perseverance and self-discipline.
Grades at schl and achievement-test results were markedly better predictrs f adult success than raw IQ scres. 17 After all, dn’t they all measure the same thing? Nt quite. Grades reflect nt just intelligence but als “nn-cgnitive skills” , such as perseverance，gd study habits and the ability t cllabrate. Persnality cunts.
18A research suggests childhd interventins (介入) can be helpful，and that cnscientiusness is mre malleable (可塑的）than IQ. Openness—a brad quality that includes curisity—is als cnnected t test scres and grades.
19Smene with an IQ f 70 isn’t ging t be able t d things that are easy fr a persn with an IQ f 190. But many peple fail t break int the jb market because they lack skills that aren’t measured n intelligence tests. They dn’t understand hw t behave with kindness in jb interviews. 20 Or n the jb，they make it bvius they’ll d n mre than the minimum, if that.
A. IQ still matters，f curse.
B. That might seem surprising.
C. They may shw up late r fail t dress prperly.
D. Hw much difference between peple’s incmes can be tied t IQ?
E. But the data suggests a much smaller influence： abut 1 r 2 percent.
F. The higher the better fr IQ，and perhaps fr cnscientiusness as well.
G. Success depends nt just n brn ability but n skills that can be taught.
