module 5introduction & reading and vocabulary阅读理解a(2013泰安高二检测)when i was an official of a school in palo alto, california, polly tyner, the president of our board, wrote a letter that was printed in the palo alto times. pollys son, jim, had great difficulty in school. he was classified as the educationally handicapped and required a great deal of patience on the part of his parents and teachers. but jim was a happy kid with a great smile that lit up the room. his parents knew his difficulties, but they always tried to help him see his strengths so that he could walk with pride. shortly after jim finished high school, he was killed in a motorcycle accident. after his death, his mother submitted this letter to the newspaper. “today we buried our 20-year-old son. he was killed in a motorcycle accident on friday night. how i wish i had known that the last time i had talked to him would be the last time. if i had only known that, i would have said to him, jim, i love you and im always so proud of you. i would have taken the time to count the many blessings he had brought to the lives of the people who loved him. i would have taken the time to appreciate his beautiful smile, his laughter, and his genuine love to other people. “when i put all the good things on the scale and try to balance them with all the irritating(恼人的)things such as the radio that was always too loud, the haircut that wasnt to our liking, the dirty socks under the bed, etc. , i find that the irritations really dont amount to much. “i wont get another chance to tell my son all that i would have wanted him to hear, but, other parents, do have a chance. tell your young people what you would want them to hear as if it may be your last conversation. the last time i talked to jim was the morning of the day when he died. he called me to say, hi, mom! i just called to say i love you. you have to go to work now. bye. that day, he gave me something to treasure forever. ”if there is any purpose at all for jims death, maybe it is to make others appreciate life more and to tell people, especially family members, that they should take the time to let each other know just how much they care. you may never have another chance. do it today! 1. who was jim?

perhaps it is because of their eqs. people often make the mistake of thinking that eq is the opposite of iq. it is not. although it is hoped that people have both high eqs and iqs, there is little doubt that those with low eqs have a hard time surviving in life. for a long time, researchers discussed if a persons iq could be raised. the geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a persons eq, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication. recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. when some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. at the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students attitudes. they became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. people with high eqs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. please remember that having a high iq is helpful but having a high eq might even be more helpful. 6. according to professor salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not? a. how a person tests his / her brainpower. b. a persons character. c. how smart a person is. d. a persons iq. 7. the second paragraph tells us that. a. people who have a high iq always have a high eqb. eq is the opposite of iqc. people who have a low eq tend to have a hard lifed. people who have a high eq always have a high iq8. what did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children? a. students with disabilities were not open in trying new things. b. there was no change in the normal students. c. the disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things. d. the disabled students were more willing to help others. 9. which of the following is the writers attitude toward eq and iq? a. iq is more helpful to people than eq. b. iq can be raised by understanding and communication. c. eq can get people hired. d. a high eq is of great benefit in getting people promoted. 10. which of the following would be the best title of this passage? a. a persons brainpower. b. iq, eq and success. c. iq and a persons character. d. a persons iq and eq. ci am a long distance runner. when i was thirty-one, i was in a serious car accident. the doctor told me that they would try to get me to walk “normally” but i would never run againterrible news for someone who views running as the oxygen she breathes. the doctors were right. for the next nine and a half years, i was unable to run more than twenty-five feet. in 2006, i began self-training to take part in a 60-mile walk. three months into preparing, i realized that walking 45 hours a day was too long. if only i could jog part of itthat would cost me less time. i started jogging without my knees aching. slowly, i increased the distance. the doctors were proved wrongit only took nine and a half years to do so. while practicing, i suffered a lossa dear friend suddenly died. his work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential. he believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals. soon after his death, a crazy thought entered my mind: what if i could run the la marathon?
