13、that insurance companies or employers might take advantage and discriminate against those who have been identified as being at high risk.【原文】Mary Gearin: Welcome to the lab. Like it or not, we're all in the Petri dish now as more scientists than ever look for the cause of our habits lying hidden

14、 in our genes.Dr. Whitfield: The advances in DNA technology mean that techniques can be applied to this type of research which weren't possible before and which give the prospect of what you might call an explosion in outcomes in actual findings that we can use.Mary Gearin: It's a detective

15、story with an unknown number of villains. We haven't established how many of our 40,000 genes may leave us more likely to be addicted, but some scientists do believe they've confirmed a layperson's principle that we're about half nature, half nurture.Dr. Whitfield: The conclusion at

16、the moment is that genetics accounts for about half the variation in liability to a number of kinds of addiction and that environmental influences, or just the random things that happen to us as we go through life, account for the other half.Mary Gearin: Of course, genes won't determine who will

17、 or won't become an addict, only those who are more prone to becoming one. Listen to a reformed smoker and a leading researcher in the field, Wayne Hall.Wayne Hall: I think we really do have a task in front of us to educate people that “ genetic ” doesn t mean fixed, imlem, utnacbhangeable, fate

18、d. It still leaves plenty of room for human decision, choice and capacity to influence and change behaviour.Mary Gearin: Wayne Hall is pushing for regulations to deal with the ethical implications that have inevitably surfaced.Wayne Hall: If we were able to identify people in advance as being at hig

19、h risk becausethey possesseda set of genes, then that might have adverse effects on them in terms of the way others in their social environment treat them. It might have effects if insurance companies take account of that information or employers and so on.Mary Gearin: But would addicts take any mor

20、e responsibility for their own actions Our distinctly unscientific sample of smokers told us: not really. If a test came out, would you have yourself tested to see if you had that geneJulie: Honestly, probably not.Mary Gearin: Would you want your kids to take that test to perhaps ware them off smoki

21、ng if they had that gene as wellJohn Mackay: Only if they become problem smokers I'd probably suggest it, yeah. Otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.Task 3【答案】A. 1)2)3)4)5)B.V2 .，3 .，5 .V7 .V9 .V 0.V 2.V 3.C.1) elementary school teacher, frustrations, peers, taught, learnt2) high EQ, adults,

22、children【原文】Claire Nolan: Hi. This is Claire Nolan.Bill Rodney: Any I mBill Rodney. Today we llbe discussing EQ not IQ. EQ:emotional intelligence. We've been hearing a lot about EQ lately, and in fact you might have seen Daniel Goleman's best-selling book about it in the bookstore. Your emot

23、ional intelligence quotient seems to include both intra- and interpersonal relationships in other words, how well you handle your own emotions, and how well you respond to others.Claire Nolan: Yes, but Bill, that's not exactly a new idea, is it I mean I know a lot of old proverbs about thinking

24、before you act, and that kind of thing.Bill Rodney: That's true, but the term itself is a new one, and it shows that peoplehave realized, the way you control your feelings is just as important as your education maybe even more important. But what's really interesting and the focus of today&#

25、39;s session is: Can you learn EQ We'll be talking to three people today all educators, in their own way to get their perspective on it. Our first guest is Betty Cortina. Betty, you're an elementary school teacher. Do you really think that some kids have higher EQ's than othersBetty Cort

26、ina: Oh sure! Even at five or six years old, some of the kids tend to be much more patient and easy-going than others. And then others are prone to shout and make a big fuss. I mean, I don't want to make it sound as if it's bad to be spirited, or anything, but if you can't control your e

27、motions, even at that age, you can have a lot of problems.Bill Rodney: Like whatBetty Cortina: Well, if you can't deal with setbacks, you don't make progress; and ifyou're always impatient, your peers don't like you.Bill Rodney: Can you give us an exampleBetty Corrina: Sure. One exam

28、ple is how kids deal with frustration. Imagine a childwho is having trouble doing a math problem. She gets frustrated with the problem, throws her pencil down, yells angrily, "This is a stupid problem! I hate it!" Another child, with a higher EQ, might be able to handle the situation bette

29、r. She might try different ways to approach the problem, or ask for help, and so on. And she will be more successful because she won't let her negative feelings get in the way of her task.Bill Rodney: I guess I can understand that, but my question is: Can you learn to have a higher EQ Let s see,

30、 our next guest is Jim McDonald. Do you want to respond to that questionJim McDonald: Yes. Well, as you know, I run management training programs for a bank here in the city, and I agree this EQ idea is definitely important. Let fsace it: When the going gets tough, it msuch better for an employee to

31、have a positive, enthusiastic attitude than to dwell on failures. But what I find is that some people just take life in stride and other people don't. I mean, of course you can point them in the right direction that's what I try to do in my seminars but some people never learn to improve the

32、ir EQ.Betty Cortina: No, I disagree. Kids can be taught to have patience and not to give up when things go wrong. They learn to respond well to their emotions. They learn how to sit still and listen, and how to respect others. And I don't believe we are born with a high emotional intelligence qu

33、otient. I think we have to learn those skills.Jim McDonald: Okay, so maybe you can teach children, but frankly, I don't see how adults can ever change. I mean, I work with a lot of managers, and the good ones are sharp, perceptive people who respond well to change. I don't think the others c

34、an learn that.Bill Rodney: Why notJim McDonald: Well, part of the problem is that people with a low EQ have a difficult time seeing how their behavior affects other people. They see no reason to change. Their behavior has negative effec tsfor themselves and for others but they don't see it that

35、way. They tend to blame other people for the problems they are having. People like this just don t work well with other people. I d say they have a lower EQ andthey ll probably never adjust their behavior.Task 4【答案】A.1) Marriage counsel/Psychologist.2) Yes.3) With help, he learned to see that his wi

36、fe s success was also his success instead ofhis failure.B.1) T 2) F 3) T【原文】Bill Rodney: Our third guest, Ian Davis, is a marriage counselor. Ian, from the perspective of a marriage counselor, can adults change their EQ'sIan Davis: Yes. I am a psychologist and I work with couples, married couple

37、s, who are having problems. From what I can see, some people, adults, I mean, can change their EQ's.Bill Rodney: How soIan Davis: Well, I think that the key to keeping a relationship together is learning toempathize with your partner.Bill Rodney: Did you say "empathize"lan Davis: Yes,

38、it's crucial. Couples who have successful relationships try hard to understand each other's feelings. First, you have to put yourself in your partner's shoes. That makes it easier for you to make allowances for your partner's weaknesses.You have to learn to control your reactions eve

39、n when you feel angry or resentful.Bill Rodney: So you're saying people can learn those things Don't you think that, asJim said, some people have it and some don'tIan Davis: No, I disagree strongly with what he said. I do see people change. If I didn't think people could change, I

40、9;d be in a different line of work!Bill Rodney: I'm not quite sure I understand what you're saying. Tell us about someone you've seen acquire a higher eQ.Ian Davis: Well, let me tell you about a case I saw recently. I had some clients, a husband and wife, a few months ago, and the wife h

41、ad gotten a promotion at work. Now the husband was happy for her, of course, but he also felt a bit jealous. He felt like a failure because he hadn promotion at his job.Bill Rodney: So what happened to themIan Davis: Well, the husband had to learn to swallow his pride and put aside his negative feel

42、ing. I told him to concentrate on the good thing that had happened to his wife instead of thinking about himself. With practice, he was able to see that her success was also his success, not his failure. I really think he raised his own EQ by doing that.Bill Rodney: Thank you, Ian. And I' ll rem

43、ember to keep EQ in mind. Maybe I can geta little better it!

47、lley Travers, calling from New York City.Thanks for taking my call. I just want to say how important I think it really is for a doctor to listen to a patient.Bill: Tell me about it! So, Shelley, what happened to youShelley Travers: Well, I was getting these really bad, shooting pains in my back. I c

48、ouldn't sleep at night or anything. So I went to my doctor, and he examined me and had me do all these tests and things. And I even had to go into the hospital for some X-rays. But after all thatI mean, I took off a lot of time from workthey told me there was nothing wrong with me. I was thinkin

49、g about trying alternative medicine and going to a chiropractor when a co-worker. I'm a secretary.Bill: What was that, Shelley I didn't catch all of what you said. You mean, you were in serious pain., the doctor's tests didn't show anything you were going to go to a chiropractor.Shel

50、ley Travers: Well, yes, that's right. Awful, right But a co-worker said, "You know, your desk chair is too hard. If you sat on a soft cushion that might make your back feel better." Anyway, she was totally right. So then I felt really mad, because, I mean, I had taken all that time fro

51、m work to see the doctor, but all I really needed was a cushion!Bill: So, your doctor hadn't really listened and asked the right questions, right, ShelleyShelley Travers: Yeah, that's right. He never asked me what kind of work I did, or how long I spent at the computer every day. If he had a

52、sked some questions, he probably wouldn't have sent me for all those tests!Bill: Sure sounds like your doctor wasn't much help. But, I'm glad the cushion worked. Thanks, Shelley. Bye, now. Hi, Bill here. You're on Body Talk.Linda Jenkins: Hi there, Bill. My name is Linda Jenkins, and

53、 I ' ncalling fromAtlanta, Georgia. I want to tell you what happened to meIt ' s kindof embarrassing though Bill: Ah, go ahead. Linda, Don't be embarrassed. We're listeningLinda Jenkins: Well. ah. Okay. I had this big wart on my foot. It got so bad that I could hardly.Bill: Sorry to

54、interrupt you, Linda. What did you sayLinda Jenkins: A wart, you know, a hard lump. Kids get them on their hands all the time, but I got one on the bottom of my left foot. So, my doctor said I'd probably need an operation to remove it. Burn it off, or something. He really scared me!Bill: So, you

55、 were scared, but did you take his adviceLinda Jenkins: No, actually, I didn't. But I was just desperate, because, you know, I could hardly walk. So, I decided to try acupuncture.Bill: Wait a minute. I didn't catch that. What did you sayLinda Jenkins: I tried acupuncture I went to an acupunc

56、turist. And you know, she really listened to me and got me to change my diet and get more rest. She said the wart was probably a reaction to stress. I had been working late a lot. Eventually, the wart cleared up. I really think that doctors have to be more careful before they recommend operations. S

57、ometimes there's a much simpler treatment. I mean, if doctors put themselves in their patients' shoes, they might not be so quick to start cutting!Bill: You know, Linda, you're absolutely right! I couldn't agree with you more! Thanks for sharing your story with us. Good-bye, and good

58、 luck! Hello, you're on Body Talk.Ray Ishwood: Hello, Bill. Ray Ishwood, calling from Eugene, Oregon.Bill: How are you doing, RayRay Ishwood: Fine, Bill. Ah, well., here's my story. For several years, I've had arthritis in my hands and wrists. This winter it was so cold and rainy the pai

59、n got really bad. My doctor gave me a series of injections, really painful, to my hands. He said that in a few weeks I would feel better.Bill: Well, did you Did those painful shots helpRay Ishwood: Well. I don't really know. I mean, I'm feeling a lot better now, but I think it's because of the warmer weather. I tend to get worse when it's cold and rainy outside. So, I don't think that the shots were that much help. And they were very painful. I just don't want to continue with them if they don't really make much of a difference.Bill: You're probably right, Ray
