Ⅲ.阅读理解

In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people's eyes to the fact that EQ or

emotional quotient holds the key to one's happiness and well being, and helps us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.

IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued  (起诉) for malpractice (渎职), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A

woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get well along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.

We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ.

Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.

Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to

accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.

1.The author gives us two examples in the second paragraph to show that ________.

A.doctors in the United States are often involved in cases

B.working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQ

C.those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank work

D.those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life

【答案与解析】　D　推断题。根据第2段中的“EQ is much more important for happiness and success”可知情商对于人的快乐与成功比智商还要重要。再结合本段中的例子可知“情商低的人是不快乐的”。

2.Which of the following can't be used to describe the people with a high level of EQ?

A.They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.

B.They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.

C.They are impatient and show little care towards others.

D.They may be very successful in business.

【答案与解析】　C　细节题。根据文章第3段中的“We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ”可知“情商高的人更乐观，善于交流，给人快乐和乐于助人”，所以C项是错误的。

3.It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ________.

A.a person's brainpower might actually matter less than a person's character

B.a person's IQ might be more important than a person's EQ

C.IQ plays an important role as well as EQ

D.both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered

【答案与解析】　A　推断题。根据文章第1段和第2段可知成功与否和一个人的情商关系大于智商。

4.Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.

B.At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.

C.Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a high EQ might help us even more.

D.People's EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.

【答案与解析】　B　推断题。根据文章所述内容可知“高智商使你被雇佣，而高情商会使你得到晋升”。

With the blue sky over me and green water around me, I was extremely relaxing. Over two hours passed when I knew it. I came back home very lately, but I didn't feel tired at all, for I had really had a good time.

Nowadays the government and people of China are trying to build a country with a harmonious relationship. _______________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________________

【答案】

One possible version：

Nowadays the government and people of China are trying to build a country with a harmonious relationship. Generally speaking, the relationship between us students and our family members and classmates as well as teachers is good. However, there exist some problems. Some students

in our grade easily lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden. What's worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing.

In my opinion, we middle school students should make efforts to improve the situation. First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates. Second, when we are not feeling good or happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents. It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice. Third, after a day's hard work we can relax by exercising, such as playing basketball, table tennis and so on.

美文欣赏

The Most Beautiful Flower

生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少发现美的眼睛;生活中不是缺少快乐，而是缺少感受快乐的心。如果双目失明，我们是不是一定不快乐?如果健健康康，我们是不是一定会快乐?一个失明的小男孩告诉我们：快乐在于心。

One day I was sitting on a park bench all alone feeling disappointed by life and with good reasons to frown. I felt the world was so unfair to me.

If that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me. He was tired from playing and, as he stood before me, he tilted his head towards me and said with great

excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower with its petals all worn—either from not enough rain, or too little light. Wanting him to take his dead flower and go away, I forced a smile and then shifted away along the bench. Instead of leaving, he declared with surprise, “It surely smells nice and it's beautiful, too. Here, it's for you.”

The weed before me was dying or dead; it had no bright colors, but I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “That's just what I need.” But instead of him placing the flower in my hand, he just held it out waiting for me to take it. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that this happy boy could not see: he was blind.

I heard my voice quiver and my tears shone like the sun. Through the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the

problem was not with the world; the problem was me. For all of those times that I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine.

Notes：

1.tilt v.(使)倾斜

2.petal  n.花瓣

3.vow v.宣誓;发誓
