     Equipped only with a pair of binoculars (双筒望远镜) and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers
for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch (红腹灰雀), Britain's birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport. But new figures show bird-watching is fast becoming a popular pastime, with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends.
     Devoted birdwatchers, those prepared to travel thousands of miles for sighting of a rare Siberian bird, are
fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated by watching a few finches (雀科鸣鸟)
on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden.
     "Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual
interest," Stephen Moss said in his newly published book.-A bird in the Bush: a Social History of Birdwatching
- which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman's love of shooting rare birds to the less
offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today.
     Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend. Last summer, BBC 2's Britain Goes
Wild was a surprise success. It pulled in three million views and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as
45,000 people promised to put up a box. Birdwatchers networking system first came to the attention of the
nation in 1989, when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden-winged songbird
from North America-to be seen in Britain. He put a message out on the network service Birdline, and the next
day 3,000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent.,
where it had settled. Today, birdwatchers can log on to www.birdline.co.uk or have news of the latest sighting
texted to their phones.
      "Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars, bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of
birdwatchers." Said David Croack, the editor of Bird Watching magazine"The number of people involved is so
big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment."

1. The word "satiated" in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by "______".

A. affected
B. shared
C. satisfied
D. narrowed

2. What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora Chrysoptera was put on the network?

A. Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent.
B. Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird.
C. Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details.
D. Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird.

3. Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage?

A. Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching.
B. The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching.
C. Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers.
D. The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment.

4. The passage mainly tells us about _______ in UK.

A. the history of birdwatching.
B. a growing passion for birdwatching
C. the impact of media on birdwatching
D. birdwatching as a popular expensive sport

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year

-olds a piece of
candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat 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 remarkable 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 chi

ldren who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early on were
more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated(沮丧)and inflexible(固守己见的).
Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emot

ional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ
test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of th

e 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 sink a less resistant soul.
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.

1. The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that _____.

A. the age of 4 is 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

2. Which of the follo

wing is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?

A. The higher a person's EQ is, the higher his or her IQ is.
B. The higher a person's IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

阅读理解。

     The concept of Emotional Intelligence（EQ or EI）was first given by Peter Salovey and John
Mayer, but it became widely popular after the publication of Daniel Goleman’s best seller " Emotional
Intelligence” in 1995. The meaning of emotional intelligence is " Knowing how you and others feel and
what to do about it."
     The control center of our emotions is a small part of our brain called the amygdala（类扁桃体）,
which scans incoming signals from our sensory organs（eyes, ears…）and acts as the emotional alarm
center of our body. When it detects a condition that we hate, that we fear, or that could hurt us, it sends
an immediate signal to the other parts of our brain that controls our actions.
     The amygdala’s widespread web of neural（神经系统的）connections allows it, during an
emotional emergency, to take control of much of the rest of the brain including the mind. This explains
why we sometimes do things “without thinking” like closing our eyes just before a flying insect hits our
face or losing control during the course of a heated argument.
     Emotions are important for good decision-making and to keep friendly relationships with others
around us. We admire people with determination who have the ability to control their emotions when they
face pressure, arguments or aggression（attack）. We also enjoy being with people who can express
co-operation and forgiveness. We need these emotions to be happy in our professional life as much as
we need them in our private life.
     The majority of problems at work are caused by unmet emotional needs. The emotional-intelligent
manager knows how to make out and manage the emotional needs of both the customers and his team.
He or she, wants to help others feel respected, supported, helped, trusted, important, special, useful,
needed and valued.
     When our emotional needs are satisfied, we feel better, and when we feel better, we are more
productive, patient, creative, open-minded, and caring.
     Emotional intelligence requires that we develop our abilities in four main areas:
     1）self-awareness being aware of our emotions as they happen;
     2）managing emotions keeping a healthy balance of emotion and thinking;
     3）recognizing emotions in others it’s a great communicating skill;
     4）handling relationships managing emotions in others increases our popularity, our leadership
ability and our communication effectiveness.

1. When did EQ become popular?

A. After Peter Salovey and John Mayer defined the term.
B. After computers became widely spread in our life.
C. After Daniel Goleman published his book on EQ.
D. After an expert said it was quite important.

2. Which of the following controls our emotion?

A. Amygdala in our brains. 　　　
B. Our sensory organs.
C. Our mind.　　　　　　　　　　
D. Our head.

3. What is the reason for most of the problems we meet at work?

A. Our emotional needs cannot be satisfied.
B. We cannot get along well with others.
C. We do not have the nerves of steel.
D. We are extremely tired.

4. According to the passage, "managing emotions" suggests that ______.

A. we should always control our emotions
B. we should not always control our emotions
C. we should not care so much about our emotions
D. we should neither control nor free our emotions too much

     While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are, EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well
you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ
that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
    Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person's brainpower, as
measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person's character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be
correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end
up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the
opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that
those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
     For a long time, researchers discussed if a person's IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the
social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person's EQ,
particularly in terms of "people skills", such as understanding and communication.
     Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal
students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help
people in difficulty. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students' attitudes. They
became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs
often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their
thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.

1. According to Professor Salovery, what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?

A. How a person tests his/her brainpower.
B. A person's character.
C. How smart a person is.
D. A person's IQ.

2. The second paragraph tells us that ____.

A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ
B. EQ is the opposite of IQ
C. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ

3. What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?

A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B. There was no change in the normal students.
C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.

4. Which of the following is the writer's attitude toward EQ and IQ?

A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C. EQ can get people hired.
D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.

5. Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A. A person's brainpower.
B. IQ, EQ and success.
C. IQ and a person's character.
D. A person's IQ and EQ.
