hundreds of thousands of otherwise cautious and rational (理性的) people have been brainwashed by their impassioned speeches and become bankrupt as a result.social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. a study by the university of cambridge found that when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion, the audience was less likely to look over the message and remembered less of the content.researchers call this the “awestruck effect” (敬畏效应), but it may just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect, says the atlantic article. leaders who master emotions can rob us of our ability to reason. if they have self-serving motives, or their values are out of step with our own, emotional intelligence becomes a weapon of manipulation and the results can be destroyed.another recent study from kyoto university shows that people with high interpersonal eq influence others emotions based on their own goals.a research team led by university college london professor martin kilduff shed more light on this dark side of emotional intelligence. according to them, emotional intelligence helps people disguise (伪装) one set of emotions while expressing another for personal gain. emotionally intelligent people “intentionally shape their emotions to leave favorable impressions of themselves”, kilduffs team writes in the journal research in organizational behavior. it seems that to better understand the dark side of eq, we need to look no further than shakespeares macbeth or its modern adaption on tv: house of cards.54. which of the following statements about eq is not true according to the passage? a. many westerners have a good knowledge of eq. b. eq plays an important role in solving social problems. c. eq can help you read and understand emotions in yourself and others. d. if a person has a high level of eq, he will surely succeed in everything.55. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph but one means that the research team _.a. made clear the dark side of eq b. hid the positive side of eq c. understand the positive side of eqd. discovered the dark side of eq 56. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. macbeth was adapted from house of cards.b. house of cards helps us understand the dark side of eq better.c. the dark side of eq is shown neither in macbeth nor in house of cards.d. to understand the dark side of eq better, wed better not refer to house of cards and macbeth.57. what does the passage mainly talk about? a. the dark side of eq.b. the importance of eq to readers. c. the definition of eq.d. the positive and negative aspects of eq. cwhile residents of wealthy nations tend to have greater life satisfaction, new research shows that those living in poorer nations report having greater meaning in life.these findings, published in psychological science, a journal of the association for psychological science, suggest that meaning in life may be higher in poorer nations as a result of greater religiosity (笃信宗教). as countries become richer, religion becomes less central to peoples lives and they lose a sense of meaning in life.“thus far, the wealth of nations has been almost always associated with longevity, health, happiness or life satisfaction,” explains psychological scientist shigehiro oishi of the university of virginia. “given that meaning in life is an important aspect of overall well-being, we wanted to look more carefully at differential patterns, correlates (相关物), and predictors for meaning in life.”oishi and colleague ed diener of the university of illinois at urbana-champaign investigated life satisfaction, meaning, and well-being by examining data from the 2007 gallup world poll, a large-scale survey of over 140,000 participants from 132 countries. in addition to answering a basic life satisfaction question, participants were asked: “do you feel your life has an important purpose or meaning?” and “is religion an important part of your daily life?”the data revealed some unexpected trends:“among americans, those who are high in life satisfaction are also high in meaning in life,” says oishi. “but when we looked at the societal level of analysis, we found a completely different pattern of the association between meaning in life and life satisfaction.”when looking across many countries, oishi and diener found that people in wealthier nations were more educated, had fewer children, and expressed more individualistic attitudes compared to those in poorer countries all factors that were associated with higher life satisfaction but a significantly lower sense of meaning in life.”the data suggest that religiosity may play an important role: residents of wealthier nations, where religiosity is lower, reported less meaning in l
