11、when using it? To test it, researchers presented multiple dilemmas to a sample set of 1,010 people. The participants were assigned a device at random.One case of the questions participants were asked is the classic “trolley(有轨电车) problem”: A runaway trolley is headed towards five people tied up on a

12、-set of train tracks. You can do nothing, resulting in the deaths of five people, or push a man off a bridge, which will stop the trolley. The practical response is to kill one man to save five lives, which 33. 5 percent of smartphone users chose, compared to 22.3 percent of PC users.“What we round

13、in our study is that when people used a smartphone to view classic moral problems, they were more likely to make more unemotional, reasonable decisions when presented with a highly emotional dilemma, “Dr Albert Barque-Duran, the lead author of the study, told City, University of London. “This could

14、be due to the increased time pressure often present with smartphones and also the increased psychological distance which can occur when we use such devices compared to PCs.”As for why the researchers started this study, Dr Barque-Duran noted, “Due to the fact that our social lives, work and even sho

When Martin Luther King. Jr. presented his dream, he chose language that would stir the hearts of his audience. Deliv

20、ering this electrifying(震撼性的) message required emotional intelligencethe ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions.Emotional intelligence has been highly recommended by leaders, policymakers, and educators as the solution to a wide range of social problems. If we can teach our children t

21、o manage emotions, the argument goes, well have less bullying and more cooperation. If we can cultivate emotional intelligence among leaders and doctors, well have more caring workplaces and more compassionate healthcare.Emotional intelligence is important, but the uncontrolled enthusiasm has obscur

22、ed (掩盖)a dark side. New evidence shows that when people sharpen their emotional skills, they become better at manipulating (把持) others. When youre good at controlling your own emotions, you can hide your true feelings. When you know what others are feeling, you can motivate them to act against their

23、 own best interests.Social scientists have begun to document this dark side of emotional intelligence. In a research led by University of professor Jochen Menges, when a leader gave an inspiring speech filled with emotion. the audience was less likely to scrutinize (细察) the message and remembered of

24、 the content. Ironically(讽刺的是) audience members were so moved by the speech that they claimed to recall more of it.The authors call this the awestruck effect, but it might just as easily be described as the dumbstruck effect. One observer reflected that Hitlers persuasive impact came from his abilit

If their values are out of step with our own. the results c

26、an be destructive. New evidence suggests that when people have self-serving motives (动机), emotional intelligence becomes a weapon for manipulating others. In a study led by the University of Toronto psychologist Stephane Cote, university employees filled out a survey about their Machiavellian(不择手段的)

27、 tendencies, and took a test measuring their knowledge about effective strategies for managing emotions. Then, Cotes team assessed how often the employees deliberately undermined (逐渐削弱) their colleagues. The employees involved in the most harmful behaviors were Machiavellians with high emotional int

30、orridors where power and influence are traded.”Of course, people arent always using emotional intelligence for nefarious ends. More often than not, emotional skills are simply instrumental tools for goal accomplishment. A research team discovered that founder Anita Roddick used emotional intelligenc

31、e to inspire her employees fundraise for charity. As Roddick explained, Whenever particular project we always tried to break their hearts we wanted to persuade our staff to support a particular project we always tried to break their hearts.”There is growing recognition that emotional intelligence-li

32、ke any skill-can be used for good or evil. So if were going to teach emotional intelligence in schools and develop it at work, we need to consider the values that go along with it and where its actually useful.1、Why does the author mention Martin Luther King, Jr?ATo honor the great leader for his co

Good examples where soil is naturally found with no plants growing in are beneath freshly removed trees, or where the ground has been burnt by a la

38、nd fire. In these situations bare soil isnt bare for long; within days seedlings (芽) begin to appear and cover the ground. In a few months time, the scar is hardly noticeable.Unlike these natural examples, ploughed (耕犁) fields and freshly dug gardens are obvious examples created by man. But, left to

39、 nature, even these bare soils soon turn green with a large number of tiny seedlings. In fields, gardens and on grasslands, roadside and sports fields, along streets and on paths and pavements, we are constantly battling to stop weeds from growing. All we are doing is stop the recovering powers of n

40、ature.Whenever soil is exposed, weeds act like a kind of medicine to reduce the potentially harmful rays of the sun, so the sooner plant growth covers the soil over again, the better.Weeds also help to improve the fertility (肥沃) of the soil. Their roots get the soil together, improving its structure

41、 and creating a more stable environment in which soil life can grow fast. Those weeds with a deep root draw up plant nutrients from deeper in the ground, making them available to plants growing near the soil surface. Above ground, the stems (茎) of weeds help trap fallen leaves which break down into

42、the soil, adding to the fertility of the soil.As the soil becomes more fertile, different kinds of plants start to replace the “pioneering” weeds. Bushes move in to take the place by gradually shading them out, followed in turn by trees, which eventually push up through the bushes, finally shading t

43、hem out too. Fallen leaves from the bushes and trees carry on the job of building soil fertility that was begun by those very first weeds that grew on the bare soil. Then, when one of these mature trees is removed in a storm, leaving a wound of bare soil in the earth, the whole process starts again.

44、1、When will soil be left bare?AA land fire has just happened. BA young tree is planted in.CNo one ploughs the land. DNo crops are planted in.2、Which of the following prevents the bare soil from recovering?ASeedlings appearing in gardens.BReducing harmful rays of the sun.CRemoving weeds from pavement
