Emotional intelligence is a persons ability to understand their own emotions and those of others, and to act appropriat

18、ely using these emotions. Research suggests that a persons emotional intelligence (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success than his or her intellectual intelligence (IQ), despite an assumption that people with high IQs will naturally accomplish more in life. The Marshmallow Test is mentioned in

19、Emotional Intelligence, by Goleman. How a child performs on this test at the age of 4 is a better predictor of his or her future success in life than his or her IQ. What researchers do is leave the child alone in a room with a marshmallow, telling them they can either eat the marshmallow immediately

20、, or, if they can wait till the researchers return, they can have 5 marshmallows. What this is testing is “impulse control” and the ability to “delay gratification”. Its an example of “frustration tolerance”. Much of what we want later on in life requires resisting the immediate impulse, and also be

21、ing able to “delay gratification”, i.e., when in college, you might have preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii, but, since you valued what a college education would do for you, you stuck with it. And it meant giving up some things you might have preferred doing at the time. Some of the children cant

22、 resist, and take the marshmallow immediately. Others stick it out, and what do they do? They count their fingers and toes. get up and look out the window. find a book in the room and read it. look up at the ceilingthey are very clever! Somewhere they developed this skill. could it have been their p

23、arents? My mom used to tell me “When youre angry, stop and count to ten”. She was teaching me to stop and think before I spoke or took action. This is a tried-and-true way to emotional intelligencestopping to think before you act or react. 共5题(1) Which of the following is not included in EQ? 本题2分D(A

24、)the ability to understand ones own emotions (B)the ability to understand other peoples emotions (C)the ability to act properly using those emotions (D)the ability to wait till the researchers return (2) The Marshmallow Test is to _B_. 本题2分(A)test ones IQ (B)test ones EQ (C)test ones patience (D)tes

25、t ones temper (3) You stuck with a college education although you preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii. This example is to explain _A_. 本题2分(A)both “impulse control” and the ability to “delay gratification” (B)“impulse control” (C)the ability to “delay gratification” (D)neither “impulse control” no

27、) Which of the following is true? 本题2分D(A)If a persons IQ is high, he will be successful. (B)If a persons EQ is high, he will be successful. (C)A person with high IQ is more likely to be successful. (D)A person with high EQ is more likely to be successful. 42. IQ is not the determining factor for su

28、ccess,” said Janell Kilgore, a staff counselor in the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program. IQ contributes about 20 percent to the factors that determine life success, which leaves 80 percent to other forces, including EQ, she noted. Goleman writes that “the vast majority of ones ultimate status in

29、society is determined by non-IQ factors, ranging from social class to luck”. Emotional intelligence is one of those factors that can be improved or enhanced. According to Kilgore, understanding and practicing five key concepts can improve your emotional intelligence. Knowing ones own emotions Recogn

30、ize and name emotions you feel; understand why you feel that way; and distinguish between feelings and actions. “As a parent, you can begin now with your children, teaching them about their emotions. But first you have to know your own. You have to be able to tell yourself what youre feeling,” Kilgo

31、re said. Recognizing emotions in others The ability to take another persons perspective, Kilgore said, is a skill that effective managers and supervisors possess. Emotionally intelligent individuals also are sensitive to other peoples feelings and listen well. Kilgore led workshop participants throu

32、gh an exercise designed to illustrate these ideas. She showed two emotionally charged clips from the movies Parenthood and E.T., asking individuals to write down emotions they saw exhibited by the characters body language. Participants also wrote down their own feelings during each scene. The groups

33、 list demonstrated the many emotions seen through the films characters, as well as the different ways people felt about the same scenes. Managing emotions Accept your feelings, but find a balance between over sensitivity or over expression and emotional suppression. Kilgore said her teenage daughter

34、s, when angry, have sometimes stomped up the stairs in their home. While some people may find this behavior unacceptable, Kilgore said she finds it healthy for them to express their emotions rather than suppressing them. Handling relationships Being perceptive, applying conflict management skills in

35、stead of ignoring conflict, and being considerate and cooperative are important in handling relationships with others. Kilgore also stresses that communication skills are essential to healthy relationships. 共5题(1) According to researchers, which of the following is true? 本题2分C(A)IQ determines life s

37、ly to cause disagreement or make people angry or upset (D)good because it is based on reasons (3) Why did Kilgore ask individuals to write down emotions they saw in the movie characters and their own feelings? 本题2分A(A)Because she researched human emotions. (B)Because she was interested in movies. (C

38、)Because she wanted to find out the differences between the characters and the audiences emotions. (D)Because she wanted to teach individuals the importance of recognizing others emotions. (4) The example of Kilgores daughters indicates _D_. 本题2分(A)Stomping up the stairs is good behavior (B)Stomping

39、 up the stairs is good for her daughters health (C)Suppressing emotions is good for her daughters health (D)Letting out emotions is good for her daughters health (5) The main idea of the passage is _C_. 本题2分(A)what EQ is (B)EQ is more important than IQ (C)how to improve your EQ (D)how to behave prop

40、erly 43. When we talk about intelligence, we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school. By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving, especially in a new or upsetting situation. If we want to test intelligence, we need to fi

41、nd out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do. For instance, when in a new situation, an intelligent person thinks about the situation, not about himself or what might happen to him. He tries to find out all he can, and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it.

42、He probably isnt sure how it will all work out, but at least he tries. And, if he cant make things work out right, he doesnt feel ashamed that he failed; he just tries to learn from his mistakes. An intelligent person, even if he is very young, has a special outlook on life, a special feeling about

43、life, and knows how he fits into it. If you look at children, youll see great difference between what we call bright children and not-bright children. They are actually two different kinds of people, not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence. For example, the bright child really w

44、ants to find out about life - he tries to get in touch with everything around him. But, the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world; he seems to have a wall between him and life in general. If the driving force of intelligence in the twentieth century business has been IQ,

45、then in accordance to growing evidence, in the twenty first century it will be EQ, and related and practical forms of practical and creative intelligence. 共5题(1) When we talk about intelligence, we mean _D_. 本题2分(A)the ability to get high score on some tests (B)the ability to do well in school (C)th

46、e ability to study well (D)the ability to deal with life (2) An intelligent person _C_. 本题2分(A)likes new situations (B)is sure what will happen to him (C)is not afraid of making mistakes (D)stops trying when he fails (3) Bright children and not-bright children _B_. 本题2分(A)are different mainly in the

47、ir degree of intelligence (B)are two types of people (C)think differently (D)behave differently (4) The last paragraph is to show _D_. 本题2分(A)the differences between IQ and EQ. (B)we need a driving force of intelligence in twenty first century (C)IQ is more important than EQ (D)EQ is drawing more at

48、tention from people (5) The topic of the passage may be _A_. 本题2分(A)What Is Intelligence (B)How Important Is Intelligence (C)The Difference between Bright Children and Not Bright Children (D)The Difference between IQ and EQ 44. Why are so many people so afraid of failure? Quite simply because no one

49、 tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every person has the right to fail. Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have

50、failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her childs hastily making table as “Perfect!” even though it couldnt stand on uneven legs. Another way is to shift blame. If John fails science, his teacher is unfair or stupid. The trouble with failure-prevention methods is that they leave a

51、 child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time and that its possible to enjoy a game even when you dont win. A child whos not invited to a birthday party, who doesnt make the honor roll or the baseball team, feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick comfort prize or say, “It doesnt matter” because it does. The young should be allowed to experience disappointment and be helped to master it. Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can mak
