He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy.Mister, he said, I want to buy one of your puppies.Well, said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money.The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. Ive got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?Sure, said the farmer.And with that he let out a whistle, Here, Dolly! he called.Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this One noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up.I want that one, the little boy said.The farmer knelt down at the boys side and said, Son, you dont want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would.With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself to a specially made shoe.

Though were all born with SQ, most of us dont even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you dont have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude(独处)and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed. Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the light of a bird and watch clouds float overhead. Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?But dont expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural form of e-mail. Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question, says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before. Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.49. The passage is mainly about .A. what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our lifeB. what your SQ is and in what way it can be improvedC. the relationship between your SQ and your lifeD. advantages and disadvantages of SQ50. The underlined phrase tune in to your spirit in the third paragraph probably means to .A. get your spirit relaxed B. keep up your spirit C. keep seated quietly D. change your spirit51. The author mentions the example of Reverend Joan Carter to show that . A. there are no immediate answers to your questions B. e-mails cant keep working out a problem C. the more questions you ask, the better answers youll get D. changing your way of thinking might help you solve a problem52. From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is .A. a peaceful mind B. deep thought C. spare time and hobbies D. good spiritsDI have a better understanding of world leaders fed up with endless conflicts(冲突) between nations or regions. When my three children were young, most days it was hard to keep my house from becoming a war zone. And that was before breakfast.It got worse as they grew older. Three years later, Zack, then 16, couldnt make it through a day without playing tricks on his sisters, Alex and Taryn , then 11 and 9.My husband and I tried to get an understanding of his adolescent moodiness(喜怒无常). We begged, reasoned, punished, and left heartfelt notes on his bed about how his behavior was hurting our family. His response was a shrug and “I say it because its true .”I even tried telling the girls to fight back. Bad idea. Now I had three kids at war. At wits end, I poured my heart out to my sister in an e-mail. She wrote back, “Dont e-mail me. E-mail him.”Our son was online every day, mailing and instant messaging his friends. So what if I was within shouting distance? Maybe he would actually hear me this way. Thered be no yelling or door slamming. Zack wouldnt feel under attack. And with a few simple keystrokes, he could respond. Or not. Zack didnt reply for days. When he finally did, his entire message was four measly(少得可怜的) words . I expected the worst, but then smiled when I read them “Youre right. Im sorry,” The kids still fought, of course, but Zack scaled back the abuse. Best of all, I now have an effective way to communicate with not one but three easily annoyed teens. I like that they dont tune me out as much. They like not having to listen to me nag(指责，唠叨). Or as Alex says , “Youre so much nicer online. ”All I know is that the house is quiet, but were talking, in fact, Taryn just instant-messaged me from upstairs. Its time to take her to softball practice. 53. The purpose of this passage is to tell us _ .A. the value of communication onlineB. how to solve family problemsC. the value of understanding between parents and childrenD. how to treat kids in a more sensible way54. By the first sentence of the passage, the author really means to be _ .A. serious B. sympathetic C. humorousD. inspiring55. How did Zack react when the author first tried to stop his bad behavior?A. He was annoyed and got worse B. He talked back to the authorC. He felt sorry and changed D. He felt sorry but didnt change56. Zack stopped fighting with his sisters because _ .A. his mother learnt how to e-mail himB. his mother had more friendly communications with him onlineC. his mother stopped yelling and naggingD. his sisters learned to instant message himEThe United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008, mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.World food prices have dropped since early 2008. Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years But FAO official Hafez Ghanem says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis（危机）in many poor countriesFor millions in developing countries, he says, getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.” The FAO says food shortage is a threat to peoples healthToday, two-thirds of the worlds undernourished people live in just a few countries.
