2. being optimistic towards any uncertainty ahead and having confidence to overcome difficulties facing him or her; 3. with rich inside world to feel others blue moods and know how to help them solve their problems; 4. skillful in communicating with people from all walks of life . when i observe colleagues and friends around, i do get my view. even, i could predict that those people who could perfectly combine their iqs and eqs will be the winners in the society! those talented graduates from famous colleges and universities couldnt achieve a lot if they dont know how to get along well with their colleagues! individualism is far away from success in the integrated world. team work needs cooperation consciousness which is an important element of eq. to be honest, i still have a long way to go to improve my eq to perfect myself! how about you?46 whats the second paragraph mainly about?a. the ways to measure childrens iq.b. the nations family planning policy. c. young couples happy marriage life.d. the reasons for childrens similar iq.47. which of the following is not a characteristic of a high eq?a. getting on well with other people.b. being able to overcome difficulties.c. graduating from a good university.d. taking positive attitudes towards whatever happens.48. the underlined part “people from all walks of life” in paragraph 4 probably refers to people _.a. who work in different areasb. from the same backgroundc. from different fieldsd. who walk differently49. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. team work is important in improving eqb. later life experience can lead to different eqc. the writer is a young philosopherd. the writer didnt succeed in combining his iq and eqbby the middle of the 19th century, newspapers were becoming the primary means of spreading and receiving information. the period between 1890 and 1920 is known as the “golden age” of print media.broadcast radio came onto the media scene in the 1920s. newspapers were forced to re-evaluate (重新评估) their role as societys primary information provider. like the new media technologies of today, the development of a low-cost, convenient media source produced results that radio would greatly affect the newspaper industry. no sooner had newspapers adapted to radio than they were forced to re-evaluate themselves because of a new and more powerful medium: television. between 1940 and 1990, newspaper sales in america dropped from one newspaper for every two adults to one for every three adults. some newspapers, like usa today, responded to the technological advancements by using color and the “short, quick and to the point” stories that are usually featured on television.the technological revolution of today is creating new challenges and opportunities for traditional media. never before has so much information been so accessible (可得到的) to so many. by the end of the 1990s, about 700 traditional media had websites; today there are thousands.the amount and speed of information on the internet is unparalleled, but it has not signalled the end of the newspapers existence （存在）. newspapers in print remain a popular and powerful medium for the reporting and analysis of events that shape our lives. it is reported that one billion people in the world read a newspaper every day!50. radio had a great influence on the newspaper industry because _.a. it was easier and cheaper to receive information by radio b. nobody supported the development of the newspaper industry c. newspapers were not a primary information provider any longerd. many people were too poor to buy newspapers in the early 20th century 51.usa today is mentioned as an example to tell us _.a. it was a famous newspaper then b. newspapers used some advantages of television c. television was “short, quick and to the point”d. television is a major means of media in the world52.the underlined word “unparalleled” in the last paragraph means “_”.a. expected b. considered c. matchless d. compared 53. we can infer from this passage that _.a. newspapers still play an important part in our lifeb.the “golden age” of print media refers to the 19th centuryc. radio took the place of newspapers completely in the 1920sd. newspapers can never catch up with the modern means of media cmillions of american kids come home to or leave an empty house every day. however, parents are increasingly using an existing technology home security （安全） systems to keep an eye on their “home-alone” children. in the early days of home security, the systems were basically designed just to keep the bad guys out. now, many parents are also using them to make their children safe when they are at home alone. below are some simple rules for adults to teach their children:every child should memorize his or her own full name and address, and home, work and cellphone numbers of each parent. also keep this information posted next to the phone at home. if your child is too young to memorize the information, he or she may be too young to be home alone for any time.teach your child to observe things around him or her when he or she returns to the house. if a door or window is slightly open, the child has any reason to suspect (怀疑) someone has been in the house that shouldnt be, have him or her call you, then wait at a safe house a neighbor offers.warn your child never to answer the doorbell or telephone when they are home alone. besides, set a rule that he or she must never play outside the house when no one else is at home.be sure he or she knows how to disarm (解除) and arm your home security system. program your control panel (控制板) to give you a message when your child enters or leaves the house, and arms or disarms the system. if your child forgets to rearm the system, you can call him or her with a personal reminder.to learn more about home security systems that can help parents protect their “home-alone” children, visit www.protecta.54.according to the passage, home security systems _.a. can help children all the timeb. are now used for protecting the childrenc. were first designed to keep kids safe at home d. are developed to spare parents more time for their work55. home-alone children are advised to _. a. fight bravely with bad guys b. memorize numbers they see c. call the police when they are home alone d. pay much attention when getting home alone56.which of the following is true according to the passage? a. parents are taking less care of their children.b. children are easy to forget numbers recently. c. children and adults should work together to use the system.d. people should know the dangers caused by their neighbors.di wonder if my make-up is ok. what will i say to him? carefully, i stepped out of my car as my date made his way over to me.“ive got you something,” he greeted me with a huge smile on his face. “something every girl secretly longs for (渴望).” standing in front of me, he slid something into my hand. i looked down to find candy but not just any candy a sugar daddy!i relaxed immediately. this was the funny man i had been talking to. little did he know, my secret longing was really to make a good impression on him.a good first impression is important. so, how do you, when youre meeting someone for the first time, make certain he or she doesnt get the wrong image of you?a study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the connection between two people when they meet for the first time. another study conducted by ucla found that “people evaluate one another by using the three vs: visual (appearance), vocal (voice) and verbal (what you say).”before you head out on your next date to meet someone new, lets concentrate on these areas:how others will see you. (visual) are you dressed well? do you look like this date is important to you? did you take some time with your appearance? watch your manners: people dont like bad manners.how others will hear you. (vocal) is your voice too soft? you might come across as insecure. if you speak softly, make an effort to speak clearly dont make your date have to work to hear you.what others will hear you say.
