Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reach high school, something amazing has happened. A survey found that those who was four year old had enough self-control to hold out generally and grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible.Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesnt show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists concerns. But brain theory cant explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting peoples success, brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together, how ones ability handles stress, for instance, affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use. Among the ingredients (要素) for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%, the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.28.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A.make the readers amused B. prove the scientists wisdomC.introduce the topic of the textD. show us how to do an IQ test29. What does the experiment with the four-year-olds show?A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal successC. emotional intelligence wont show up until Teen years.D. candy can be used to measure a persons emotional intelligence30. The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means .A. positive B.negative C. impatientD.friendly31. What can we learn from the passage?A. EQ does not have any connection with IQB. The higher a persons IQ is, the higher his or her EQ isC. Brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about mostD. Scientists havent discovered the way EQ and IQ work togetherDEggs make for a delicious meal, and for thepast few years, wevebeen able to enjoy them guilt-free. Now, they are declared as bad egg” again.Researchers from Northwestern University collected data from six previous studies that tracked the health of 29,615 adults for about 18 years on average. After gathering results from the various studies, they concluded that 300 milligrams of cholesterol(胆固醇）per day slightly raised a persons risk of heart disease. One egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol.“These participants werent given periodic questionnaires, they were given one questionnaire, says Lauren Slayton, a nutritionist. “Thats like drawing conclusions about someones fashion sense by what they wore 20 years ago. ”No one followed up to see if the diet reports were accurate or to find out whether people changer! their diet.Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, told NPR： “So much data have already been published on this topic, which generally show that low-to-moderate egg consumption ( no more than one egg per day) is not associated with increased risk of heart attack. ” Plus, there are also many other risk factors dial contribute to heart disease.Before you quit your breakfast favorite，you should know that this research is far from the last word on eggs. In other words, dont feel like you have to drop eggs from your diet based on one study.

So here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger: Relax. Breathe deeply, from your stomach. 36 Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience. Change the way you think. When youre angry, your thinking can get exaggerated (夸大的). 37 For instance, instead of telling yourself, “Oh, its terrible! Everythings ruined,” tell yourself, “Its understandable that Im upset about it, but its not the end of the world.” 38 Statements like “This never works.” or “Youre always forgetting things.” will make you feel your anger is justified (情有可原的) and theres no way to solve the problem. They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution. Have a better communication. Angry people tend to jump to conclusions. If you are in a heated discussion, slow down. 39 And take your time before answering. Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head, think carefully about what you want to say. Use humor. Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think “things ought to go my way!” “Silly humor” can help you get a more balanced perspective. So, when you feel that anger coming the next time, picture yourself as a king or queen, walking around, admired by everybody, and getting your own way in every situation. The more detail you can get into your imaginary scenes, the more likely it is to put a smile on your face. 40A. Be careful with words like “never” or “always”.B. Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.C. Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.D. Avoid using these strategies when youre in a tense situation.E. Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “take it easy”.F. Try changing the topics so your talks wont turn into arguments.G. That will help you realize that the things youre angry about are really not very important.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分 45分）第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My daughter and I were swimming in our pool one summer day.
