Emotional intelligence as a theory was first brought to public attention by the book Emotional Intelligence, Why It can

14、 Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, but the theory itself is, in fact, attributed to two Americans, John D Mayer and Peter Salovey. What is emotional intelligence exactly? According to Goleman, Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements.B. The first is knowing one s own emotions: being

15、 able to recognize that one is in an emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced, even if it is not a particularly comfortable feeling to admit to, e.g. jealously or envy.C. Emotional awarenesscan then lead to managing oneemotions. This involves dealing with

16、 emotions, like jealousy, resentment, anger, etc, that one may have difficulty accepting by, perhaps, giving oneself comfort food, or doing nice things when one is feeling low. Many people do this instinctively by buying chocolate or treating themselves; others are able to wrapthemselves in positive

17、 thoughts or mother themselvese,of course,.Theremanyar people who are incapable of doing this, and so need to be taught.-2精选文库D. The third area is self-motivation. Our emotions can simultaneously empower and hinder us, so it is important to develop the ability to control them.E. Strategies can be le

18、arnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at a later date. For example, when dealing with the success or good fortune of others, it is better not to suppressany negative emotion that arises. One just has to recognize it is there. And then one just needsto be extra careful when making deci

19、sions and not allow one s emotions to cloud the iss letting them dictate how one functions with that person. The separation of logic and emotion isnot easy when dealing with people.F. As social beings, we need to be able to deal with other people, which brings us to the next item on Goleman s list,

20、namely: recognizing emotions in other people. This means, in effect, havingor developing “ socialradar ”ie, learning to read the weather systems around individual or groups of people. Obviously, leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships. If wecan recognize, understand and then deal

21、 with other people s emotions, we can function bboth socially and professionally. Not being tangible, emotions are difficult to analyze and quantify, compounded by the fact that each area in the list above, does not operate in isolation.Each of us has misread a friend s or a colleague s behavior to

22、us and other people. Theexample is the shy person, categorized by some people as arrogant and distant and by others as lively and friendly and very personable. How can two different groups make a definitive analysis of someone that is so strikingly contradictory? And yet this happens on a daily basi

23、s in all our relationships even to the point of misreading the behavior of those close to us! In the work scenario, this can cost money. And so it makes economic sense for business to be aware of it and develop strategies for employing people and dealing with their employees.G. All common sense you

24、might say. Goleman himself has even suggested that emotional intelligence is just a new way of describing competence; what some people might call savior faire or savoir vivre. Part of the problem here is that society or some parts of society have forgotten that these skills ever existed and have fou

25、nd the need to re-invent them.H. But the emergence of Emotional Intelligence as a theory suggests that the family situations and other social interactions where social skills were honed in the past are fast disappearing, so that people now sadly need to be re-skilled.31. Many people may dontdo nice

26、things when they are feeling low.32. Employers can be aware of recognizing emotions in the employees and develop strategies.33. Emotional Intelligence as a theory is attributed to Mayer and Salovey.34. Sometimes, we classify shy persons into arrogant and distant people by misreading them.35. Set asi

27、de emotions from logic is difficult when dealing with people.36. To develop the ability to control emotions is very important.37. Knowing ones emotions means one can recognize that he is in an emotional state and he knows which emotion it is.38. Many people need to be taught how to managing their em

28、otions.39. The fact that the idea of Emotional Intelligence has emerged suggests that social interactivititiesare becoming less frequent.40. Goleman links Emotional Intelligence to competence.Part Reading Comprehension ( Reading in Depth)Section ADirections : In this section, there is a passagewith

30、letter. You may not use any of the words inthe bank more than once.-3精选文库Before the 1850s, the United States had a number of small colleges, most of them41from colonial days. They were small, church connected institutions whose primary42wasto shape the moral character of their students.Throughout Eu

31、rope, institutions of higher learning had developed,43the ancientname of university. In Germany university was concerned44with creating and spreadingknowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800s, more than nine thousandyoung Americans, 45 with their training at home, went to Ge

32、rmany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of venerable collegesHarvard, Yale, Columbiaand46them into modern universities. The new presidents47all ties with thechurches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were48for their knowledge of asubject, not because they

33、were of the proper faith and had a strong aim for disciplining students.The new principle was that a university was to create knowledge as well as pass it49, andthis called for a faculty composed of teacher-scholars.Drilling and learning by50werereplaced by the German method of lecturing, in which t

Each passage is followed by some questions or unf

35、inished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.It is very hard to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of everyday perceptions, the bas

36、is for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It not only includes “remembering”things like arithmetic or hi

37、storical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed(嗅出 ) something suspicious in the grain pile.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines.Comp

38、uters, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to comparethe memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memoryof a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words” string of alphabetic or numericalcharactersready for insta

39、nt use. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning ofabout 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of informationthat the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenagercan recognize on sight.The use of

40、words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a persons memory is in terms of words and combinations of words. But while language greatly expands the number and the kind of things a person can remember, it also requires a huge memory capacity. It ma

41、y well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, setting them apart from other animals.-4精选文库51. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about memory?A) It is based on the decisions we made in the past.B) It connects our past experiences with the present.C) It helps us perceive th

42、ings happening around us every day.D) It is rooted in our past habits and skills.52.

43、orD) it keeps information for later use53. We can infer from the passage the authors view about computers and human beings in terms ofintelligence is.A) computers can understand as many as 100,000 wordsB) computers have better memory than a child doesC) human beings are far smarter than computersD)

44、computers are as intelligent as a teenager is54.

46、ow anthropogenic (人为的 ) development is causing global warming. According to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourselves how much of this media hype (大肆宣传 ) is based on real evidence. It seems, as so often is the case, that it depends on which experts you listen to, or whic

47、h statistics you study.Yes, it is true that there is a mass of evidence to indicate that the world is getting warmer, with one of the world s leading weather predictors stating that air temperatures have shown an increase of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth centu

48、ry. And while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over, the international press would have us believe that the consequences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are seeing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always bee

49、n part of the cycle of global weather. An analysis of the views of major meteorologists( 气象学家 ) in the United States showed that less than 20% of them believed that any change in temperature over the last hundred years was our own fault the rest attributed it to natural cyclical change.There is, of

50、course, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the seas and oceans, gases such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make usin

51、g them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hansen, in 1988, was predicting that the likely effects of global warming would be a rising of world temperature which-5精选文库would have disastrous consequences for mankind:“a strong cause and effect relationship between the current climate and human altera

52、tion of the atmosphere”. He has now gone on record as stating that using artificial models of climate as a way of predicting change is all but impossible. In fact, he now believes that, rather than getting hotter, our planet is getting greener as a result of the carbon dioxide increase, with the pro

53、spect of increasing vegetation in areas which in recent history have been frozen wasteland.56. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A) The author believes that man is causing global warming.B) The author is sure what the causes of global warming are.C) The author believes that global war

54、ming is natural process.D) The author does not say what he believes the causes of global warming are.57. As to the causes of global warming, the author holds that.A) you should not speak to any expertsB) often the facts depend on which expert you listen toC) the facts always depend on whom you are t

55、alking toD) occasionally the facts depend on whom you are talking to58. What is the opinion of more than 80% of the top meteorologists in the United States?A) Global warming is not the result of natural cyclical changes, but man-made.B) Global warming is not man-made, but the result of natural cycli

56、cal changes.C) Global warming should make us lose sleep.D) The consequences of global warming will be devastating.59. According to the author, our understanding of weather.A) is variableB) is not very developed yetC) leads to reliable predictionsD) cannot be denied60.
