  A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offer?ing 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 de?pendable. The children who gave in to temptation early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(頑固的）.

Actually ， the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotion?al 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 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 ele?ments 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.

[文章大意]本文是一篇科普文，文章通過(guò)一個(gè)對(duì)四歲孩子的a我控制能力的測(cè)試實(shí)驗(yàn)告訴我們有時(shí)候情商比智商更重要。文章同時(shí)還解釋了一些相關(guān)的理論研究。

1. D推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句"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."可知，那些在四歲時(shí)就學(xué)會(huì)自我控制的孩子長(zhǎng)大后更容易成功，即自我控制能力在個(gè)人成功方面更為重要。故選D項(xiàng)。

2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第六段的"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.，，可知，研究人員一直在研究情商和智商是如何一起起作用的。故選A項(xiàng)。

3.A 詞義猜S!(題。根據(jù)"But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain up?beat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul." 可知，此處語(yǔ)境表達(dá)的意思是：大腦的理論無(wú)法解釋在面臨麻煩時(shí)有些人為什么仍然能保持樂(lè)觀，但是面對(duì)同樣的困難另一些人則會(huì)崩潰。故選A項(xiàng)。

4. C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一句"…some few fear EQ invites misuse."可知，一些人擔(dān)心情商被誤用，據(jù)此推斷下文可能要講述有關(guān)情商的一些負(fù)面的事情。故選C項(xiàng)。
