Spiritual Intelligence Quotient
Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商), or SQ, helps
us understand ourselves, and live a fuller, happier life.
While we're all born with SQ, most of us don't even realize that
we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn
how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead
you to a new level of understanding.
Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins
with solitude(独处) and silence. To tune into yourS,you
have to turn down the volume(强度) in your busy,noisy and complicated
life and force yourself to do nothing at all. In the car, instead of reading
or doing something else, use the time to think. At work,shut the door to
your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very,
very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirits free.
Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with your
dog,take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of
birds;watch clouds floating overhead.
Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as
"What am I feeling? What are my choices?"or"Where am I heading?
" But don't expect an answer to arrive through'some supernatural forms
or e-mails. "Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my
question,"says Reverend Joan Carter, "I never considered a problem
from a different perspective (角度) before. "
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on our gut feeling (直
觉)to realize danger,spiritual intelligence pushes us towards some
action that will lead to a greater good.

It's official: Text messages mania (狂热) has hit China. Mobile phones are becoming increasingly popular, and so sending text messages is fast becoming the hot new craze among teenagers.
Twelve Kitties greeted Liu Jiao and wished her a happy new year on the eve of the Chinese lunar calendar's Year of the Horse, making her very excited. According to Xinhua, about 100 million text and picture messages were sent and received by Beijing mobile phone owners during the Spring Festival.
Liu Jiao is a student at the High School Affiliated to Beijing University of Chemical Technology. A third of the students in her class own mobile phones. She received more than 20 text messages from her friends during the holidays. Most of these messages were general greetings like “Happy New Year”, or humorous sentences, like “Love you as mice love rice”. One of the good wishes she received was made up of the brand names for eight soft drinks, including Coca-Cola and Wahaha. These brand names, when translated into Chinese, are themselves good wishes for happiness or success.
Besides the convenience of sending text messages, the relatively low cost attracts many teenagers. A common message usually costs only 0.1 to 0. 2 yuan.
Tan Yingqing, a Senior Two student, said it would have cost her too much to call all of her friends in Beijing because she spent the Spring Festival in her hometown, Shanghai. So she sent mobile phone text messages to them instead.
According to China Mobile, there has been a lot of promotion (宣传，推广) for messaging through phones since 1997. And the rise in popularity shows that it has worked.
As the new term starts, Liu turns off her mobile phone. It is not allowed in class because mobile phones could disturb other students. Also, she would rather not be influenced by calls or messages during breaks. However, she often rushes to check her messages as soon as the school day finishes.

四、阅读理解
There’s a box of chocolates in the fridge. It’s been there for more than a week since I was given it as a present. I do love chocolates, but they make me fat if I eat too many! Can I control myself? If I eat one, will I have to eat all of them?
My son Harry is obsessed with playing Wii(/wi:/, 任天堂的一款游戏机) games. Sometimes, it’s difficult to get him to concentrate on his homework because he wants to play some more.
Last week I had to wake up a student in my class. I asked him why he was so tried and he said he had stayed up late to play his favourite Internet game, Farmville. He said he just couldn’t stop playing it! Now his academic work is suffering because he can’t control his urge to play games.
What my son, my student, and I myself need is simply self-control.
In the late 1960’s, American psychologist Walter Mischel launched an experiment about self-control. He left a group of four-year-olds in a room and told them that if they could wait 20 minutes, they could have two marshmallows, a kind of sweet. If they couldn’t wait, he would only give them one.
In videos of the experiment, you can see children squirming, kicking, hiding their eyes—desperately trying to control themselves. Some did wait patiently, while others couldn’t wait a single minute.
Years later, the self-controlled children turned out to get higher SAT scores and got into better colleges. The children who couldn’t wait were more likely to become bullies.
So, the chocolates are still in the fridge. My son Harry is doing his homework with a promise that he can play on the Wii later, and my student says he will try harder to control himself. We all have our own temptations. But if we can control them, we will achieve more.
56. Which of the following is different from the other three?
A. The writer. B. Harry.
C. The writer’s student. D. Walter Mischel.
57. We can know from paragraph 5 to paragraph 7 that____________.
A. all the children got two marshmallows
B. all the children waited patiently
C. self-control can help children succeed later
D. the children who lack self-control get higher SAT scores
58. Which of the following statement is true?
A. The writer is addicted to Wii.
B. The writer’s son is addicted to Farmville.
C. The writer’s student is addicted to chocolates.
D. The writer’s student is addicted to Farmville.
59. What does the underlined word mean in paragraph 5?
A. Something we can eat. B. A kind of toy.
C. A kind of mushroom. D. A kind of prize.
