Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had    31    them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After   32   the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves    33   they started the 950-mile journey back.

The journey was unexpectedly    34    and the joy and excitement about the Pole had gone out of them. The sun hardly    35   . The snow storms always made it impossible to sight the stones they had     36   to mark their way home. To make things    37   . Evans, whom they had all thought of    38    the strongest of the five, fell badly into a deep hole in the ice. Having     39   along for several days, he suddenly fell down and died.

The four who were     40   pushed on at the best speed they could    41   . Captain Oates had been suffering for some time from his    42    fact; at night his feet swelled（肿胀） so large that he could    43    put his boots on the next morning, and he walked bravely although he was in great    44    . He knew his slowness was making it less likely that     45   could save themselves. He asked them to leave him behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and helped him     46   a few more miles, until it was time to put up the   47     for another night.

The following morning,     48   the other three were still in their sleeping-bags, he said. “I am just going outside and may be    49    some time.” He was never seen again. He had walked out    50    into the snow storm, hoping that his death would help his companions.

A well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient (精神智商)，or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

Though 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 this new level of understanding.

Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude (独处) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume (强度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, 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 spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flower in bloom; follow the light of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as "What am I feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?"

But don't expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural form of e-mail. "Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question," says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. “But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.”

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.
