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 children who gave in to temptation(誘惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(頑固的).

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 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 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 causes 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 following is TRUE of EQ and IQ according to the text?

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.

3.The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. kind B. floating

C. excited D. optimistic

4.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?

A. To amuse both the children and readers.

B. To prove the scientist’s wisdom.

C. To introduce the topic of the text.

D. To show us how to do an IQ test.

5.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

A. Information about famous people with high EQ.

B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

C. Some reasons why EQ is relatively new field.

D. Strong demands for basic emotional education.

I loved working with my dad, but I hated a summer job he gave me. He owned a small in Bank Street. In his shop, the most recently person got the worst job, and the boss’ son was also .

I didn’t want to spend hours the frost on the ceiling of the walk-in freezer, and it was the Saturday afternoon’s job that I hated most. We received fresh every day. Chicken sat in wooden boxes and was with crushed ice. During the week, the ice and the blood of the chicken slowly leaked into the container the chicken, creating its bloody smell.

There was only one to get rid of the blood and wash the container: hold my and carefully slide the container from under the chicken, as I tried not to the contents over my clothes, and then into the drain(下水道).

Soon, students who have cut lawns, painted houses, worked in offices, maybe even worked in the butcher’s will to school. Some will have great memories others will come back with ones.

Looking back, I think my father could have me from my weekly hell. However, my dad, who’d dropped out of school to help support his family after his father died, was a teacher for me . He knew treating me from his other employees would be an unfair thing. Most importantly, he taught me to those who do the hard and tasks in life.

For the next six summers, I returned not as the boss’ son, but as one of other guys, and I cleaned the dirty container every Saturday afternoon.
