13.A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the candy they see.Some last a few minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school,something amazing has happened.A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely,easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible (固守己见的).
Actually,the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists'concerns.But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would defeat a less resistant (有抵抗力的) person.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman,writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes to predicting people's success,brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character".
EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress,for instance,affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.Among the ingredients (要素) for success,researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously,some few fear EQ invites misuse.
63.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?A
A.To introduce the topic of the text.
B.To prove the scientist's wisdom.
C.To amuse both the children and readers.
D.To show us how to do an IQ test.
64.The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that.C
A.the age of 4is a proper time for scientific experiment
B.emotional intelligence won't show up until adolescence
C.the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
D.candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence
65.The underlined word"upbeat"in Paragraph 4probably means.B
A.kind           
B.positive
C.floating         
D.negative
66.Which of the following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?D
A.There is no link between EQ and IQ.
B.The higher a person's IQ is,the higher his or her EQ is.
C.Some people can be blessed with lots of both,but some with little of either.
D.Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

18.Ever tried taking smart drugs(药) to perform better in exams?They certainly work.Before last summer's exam,a few of my classmates,only out of curiosity,took a large amount of Modafinil,a drug normally used for narcolepsy(嗜眠发作症).Guess what?While I was feeling sleepy,bored by homework,my classmates were more focused.
Modafinil is a smart drug that gives a user a feeling of staying awake for hours.It also sharpens the mind,improves memory and helps problem-solving.
But it does more than just keeping you awake.It disturbs your mental(神经的) system,making you do what you are doing with all efforts.You just don't want to do anything else but do homework all the time non-stop.
A recent study discovers that healthy people use smart drugs,like Modafinil,to get down to and complete tasks they have been putting off,because these tasks seem more enjoyable when taking these drugs.This might sound like what a stressed(有压力的) student wants.However,the pills have some side-effects.
"At present no evidence shows that these drugs are safe in healthy people,"as a medical expert puts it,"Ordering online,though easy,is a dangerous way to get drugs.You never know what you're actually buying."
In my experience,Modafinil changes people's behaviour too.Over those weeks my friends became different people-in turn strange,cold.Even eating became"a waste of time"and so did conversation.
A survey found that of those who had tried smart drugs before,92% would do so again.My friends say they'd happily do so without considering the practice a form of cheating.
I admit I was curious-but not enough to try it.Seeing the strange behaviour of other users,I feel a little bit upset and frightened.Modafinil may promise to change your grades,but it might also change the way you act.Don't say you haven't been warned!
66.According to the author,his classmates took Modafinil for the purpose ofB.
A.escaping from reality               
B.getting better exam results
C.staying awake                   
D.leading an active life
67.Taking the smart drug can lead toD.
A.cheating in the exam                
B.dropping out of school
C.behaving better than before                       
D.getting the habit of taking it
68.What does the author think of his classmates'taking the smart drugs?A
A.Worrying.
B.Inspiring.
C.Acceptable.
D.Reasonable.
69.Which statement about Modafinil is wrong?D
A.Modafinil sharpens the mind and helps problem-solving.
B.Modafinil more than just keeps you awake.
C.Modafinil has some side effects.
D.Modafinil is safe in healthy people.
70.The passage is probably written toD.
A.Teachers         B.Doctors     C.Scientists      D.Students.

2.Nowadays it is a trend in China to buy things looking nice,especially when people decide to buy something as a gift for their friends.Doing so has automatically triggered a rapid development in packaging industry,but also caused a huge waste in our national resources.
A good example is to buy a bag of Chinese tea.The tea itself may cost more than 500CNY but it includes nearly 200CNY,for the package.Does it mean high quality when you buy goods in an attractive case?The answer is"perhaps"."Perhaps"here means 50% of a chance to buy something really good and the other 50% of the chance is to buy something crap or fake.One of my friends bought a bottle of Maotai for l800CNY,"and he was absolutely embarrassed to find there to be water in it in front of his invited guests.It is crazy.
Things have become so expensive and so well packed that many companies produce fake products,playing the same trick.We should criticize the manufacturers that produce crap and fake goods,but should those companies that charge their customers a large amount of money just for the package be praised?No.As customers,we need to think about the question:why do we have to chase the superficial things when we buy things?Why do we have to buy friends expensive gifts?Are a notebook computer,an iPhone and electronics really something we have to buy as gifts to someone?Can we not change our ways to show our love to our beloved ones just with an item suitable instead of telling them how much it is worth?If we make statistics in our population,it is easy to find out that 99% of the people would express their hatred for bribery and corrupted officials.However,how many of us have ever asked ourselves a question like"What have I done in the past year that has promoted corruptions in our country?"

62.Through the second example in Paragraph 2,the author wants to indicate thatB.
A.buying things looking nice is a good choice
B.things with good package don't necessarily mean good quality
C.some companies charge customers too much money for the package
D.his f'riends are angry to the fake Maotai.
63.Which of the following word is similar to the underlined word"crap"?A
A.rubbishy   B.valuable    C expensive   D rotten
64.Which may be the best choice when we buy something for our beloved ones?B
A.An electronic product.
B.Something best suitable to show our love.
C.An expensive and good-looking gift.
C.A bag of Chinese tea.
65.Which of the following statements is the author probably in favor of?A
A.A great number of people have done many things related to corruption.
B.To choose presents,we should pay much attention to superficial things.
C.There is a minority of people hating bribery.
D.Many companies play different tricks to promote the sales of their fake products.

3.WHEN there are some strangers in front of us,which of them will we trust?
According to a new study in the online PloS One (《公共科学图书馆•综合》),people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces.Your appearance can do a lot for you,especially if you are in the financial industry.The more trustworthy you look,the more likely people will buy what you're selling.
Researchers from Britain's University of Warwick Business School,University College London,and Dartmouth College,US,did a number of experiments.
The research team used computer software to make 40faces,from the least to the most trustworthy-looking.
The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn't as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy,even when the face is at rest.However,a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted.
Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them.Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces,and asked the participants again whom they trusted.
The results showed that even if they got different information,the participants didn't change their choices.They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.
Chris Olivola,one of the study's authors,said in the University of Warwick's press release:"It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts (本能) about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them.The temptation (诱惑) to judge strangers by their faces is hard to resist."

36.Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?A
A.What kind of face do you trust?
B.Who did the experiments?
C.Why do you trust him or her?
D.Why did they do the experiments?
37.According to the study,which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted?B
A.A sad face.         B.A smiling face.
C.A crying face.      D.An angry face.
38.Which of the following about the experiment is TRUE?C
A.The trustworthy faces were given good information.
B.Researchers took photos of the 40people's faces in college.
C.Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.
D.Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.
39.What did the researchers learn from their experiment?C
A.People can't refuse temptations.
B.People always do things with their instincts.
C.People often judge strangers by their faces.
D.People don't trust strangers with sad faces.
