Another Intelligence
A.Emotional intelligence as a theory was first brought to public attention by the book Emotional
Intelligence, Why It can Matter More Than IQ by Daniel Goleman, but the theory itlf 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 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 awareness can then lead to managing one’s emotions. This involves dealing with
emotions, like jealousy, rentment, anger, etc, that one may have difficulty accepting by, perhaps, giving onelf comfort food, or doing nice things when one is feeling low. Many people do this instinctively by buying chocolate or treating themlves; others are able to wrap themlves in positive thoughts or ‘mother themlves’. There are, o f cour, many people who
are incapable of doing this, and so need to be taught.
D.The third area is lf-motivation. Our emotions can simultaneously empower and hinder us, so
it is important to develop the ability to control them.
E.Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are t 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 suppress any negative emotion that aris. One just has to recognize it is there. And then one just needs to be extr
a careful when making decisions and not allow one’s emotions to cloud the issue, by letting them dictate how one functions with that person. The paration of logic and emotion is not 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, namely: recognizing emotions in other people. This means, in effect, having or developing “social radar”, 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 we can recognize, understand and then deal with other people’s emotions, we can function better both 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 us and other people. The classic example 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 basis in all our relationships — even to the point of misreading the behavior of tho clo to us! In the work scenari
o, this can cost money. And so it makes economic n for business to be aware of it and develop strategies for employing people and dealing with their employees.
G.All common n you might say. Goleman himlf 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 the skills ever existed and have found the need to re-invent them.
H.But the emergence of Emotional Intelligence as a theory suggests that the family situations and
mounts and storageother 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 don’t do nice 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 aside emotions from logic is difficult when dealing with people.
36. To develop the ability to control emotions is very important.
37. Knowing one’s 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 emotions.
39. The fact that the idea of Emotional Intelligence has emerged suggests that social interactivitities
are becoming less frequent.
40. Goleman links Emotional Intelligence to competence.
Part ⅢReading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)
Section A
Directions: In this ction, there is a passage with ten blanks numbered from 41 to 50. You are requir
ed to lect one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Plea fill in each blank with a letter. You may not u any of the words in
the bank more than once.
Before the 1850’s, the United States had a number of small colleges, most of them 41 from colonial days. They were small, church connected institutions who primary 42 was to shape the moral character of their students.
ThroughoutEurope, institutions of higher learning had developed, 43 the ancient name of university. In Germany university was concerned 44 with creating and spreading knowledge, not morals. Between mid-century and the end of the 1800’s, more than nine thousand young Americans, 45 with their training at home, went to Germany for advanced study. Some of them returned to become presidents of venerable colleges—Harvard, Yale, Columbia—and 46 them into modern universities. The new presidents 47 all ties with the churches and brought in a new kind of faculty. Professors were 48 for their knowledge of a subject, not becau they 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 wel
l as pass it 49 , and this called for a faculty compod of teacher-scholars. Drilling and learning by 50 were replaced by the German method of lecturing, in which the professor’s own rearch was prented in class.
A) rote F) transmit K) hired
B) bearing G) primarily L) transformed
C) comes H) to M) employing
D) concern I) dating N) dissatisfied
E) broke J) ideas O) on
Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this ction. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 51 to 55 are bad on the following passage.
It is very hard to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of everyday perceptions, the basis 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 prent by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later u. It not only includes “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain becau 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. Computers, for example, contain devices for storingdata for later u. It is interesting to compare the memory storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”–string of alphabetic or numerical characters—ready for instant u. An average U.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information that the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.
The u of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s 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 may well be this capacity that distinguishes humans, tting them apart
from other animals.
51. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about memory?
A) It is bad on the decisions we made in the past.
B) It connects our past experiences with the prent.
C) It helps us perceive things happening around us every day.

A) it enables one to remember events that happened in the past.ellen show
B) it warns people not to do things repeatedly
C) it involves a change in one’s behavior
D) it keeps information for later u
53. We can infer from the passage the author’s view about computers and human beings in terms of
intelligence is .
男士美白A) computers can understand as many as 100,000 words
B) computers have better memory than a child does
C) human beings are far smarter than computers
D) computers are as intelligent as a teenager is
54. What is the major characteristic of man’s memory capacity according to the writer?
A) It may change what has been stored in it.
B) It may keep all the information in the past.
C) It can remember all the combined words.
D) It can be expanded by language.
55. What ts humans apart from other animals?
A) A far greater memory capacity.
B) The ability to perceive danger.
C) The ability to draw on past experience.
D) The ability to recognize faces and places on sight.
Passage Two
Questions 56 to 60 are bad on the following passage.
Day after day we hear about how anthropogenic (人为的) development is causing global warming. A
ccording to an increasingly vocal minority, however, we should be asking ourlves how much of this media hype (大肆宣传) is bad on real evidence. It ems, as so often is the ca, that it depends on which experts you listen to, or which statistics you study.
responsible是什么意思
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 increa of just under half a degree Celsius since the beginning of the twentieth century. And while this may not sound like anything worth losing sleep over, the international press would have us believe that the conquences could be devastating. Other experts, however, are of the opinion that what we are eing is just part of a natural upward and downward swing that has always been 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 cour, no denying that we are still at a very early stage in understanding weather. The effects of such variables as rainfall, cloud formation, the as and oceans, gas such as methane and ozone, or even solar energy are still not really understood, and therefore the predictions that we make using them cannot always be relied on. Dr. James Hann, in 1988, was
