__3__
it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been
__4__
by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I'm wrong and you're right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever
___5__
you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their
__6__
? Of course not. The truth is, all of us
__7__
to be corrected. We all want our positions to be
__8__

listened to and heard is one of the greatest
__9__
of the human heart. And those who learn to
__10__
are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the

of correcting others are often resented
(怨恨) and
__12__.
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise
__13__
others the joy of being right—give them the glory.
__14__
correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it's important to...”, rather than jumping
__15__
and saying, “No, it's more important to...”, simply let it go and allow their statement to
__16__
. The people in your life will become less defensive and more
__17__. They will appreciate you more than you could ever have

Ⅲ.閱讀理解
In 1990 Peter Salovey Ph. D and John Mayer Ph. D coined the term Emotional Intelligence. Their research has opened many people's eyes to the fact that EQ or
emotional quotient holds the key to one's happiness and well being, and helps us to realize that our emotional makeup can be so much more important than our mental, or what we refer to as IQ—intelligent quotient.
IQ is essential for learning and mental development and EQ is much more important for happiness and success. Some time ago a study done in the United States proved that doctors who were impatient and did not exhibit much care towards their patients were more likely to be sued
(起訴) for malpractice (瀆職), whereas doctors who were caring and attentive to their patients were less likely to be sued even if they made a critical mistake. A
woman wrote to newspaper recently telling about her brother. He was apparently a genius but did not get well along with people, quit every job he started, and eventually became a taxi driver. These are just a few examples of people with high IQ but low EQ.
We have all known people who did not complete college, but who have become very successful in business. We call them street smart. We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ.
Many people wish to improve their EQ for the purpose of becoming happier, more successful, and at the same time more balanced, individuals. The remarkable thing about EQ is that it can always, at any age, be improved, unlike IQ, which remains more or less fixed in adult life.
Now psychologists start workshops focusing on showing people how to increase their EQ. This enables them to
accomplish their dreams and desires, rid themselves of negative patterns and shows them that once they master their inner world, their outer world becomes much better.
1.The author gives us two examples in the second paragraph to show that ________.
A.doctors in the United States are often involved in cases
B.working as a taxi driver in the United States requires high EQ
C.those with high IQ are often engaged in the low-rank work
D.those with low EQ have a harder time surviving in life
【答案與解析】 D 推斷題。根據(jù)第2段中的“EQ is much more important for happiness and success”可知情商對于人的快樂與成功比智商還要重要。再結(jié)合本段中的例子可知“情商低的人是不快樂的”。
2.Which of the following can't be used to describe the people with a high level of EQ?
A.They are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive.
B.They are optimistic and untroubled by difficulties.
C.They are impatient and show little care towards others.
D.They may be very successful in business.
【答案與解析】 C 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第3段中的“We also know people who, on the whole, are positive, communicative, pleasant and supportive—these people enjoy a high level of EQ”可知“情商高的人更樂觀,善于交流,給人快樂和樂于助人”,所以C項(xiàng)是錯誤的。
3.It can be inferred that predicting future successes, ________.
A.a(chǎn) person's brainpower might actually matter less than a person's character
B.a(chǎn) person's IQ might be more important than a person's EQ
C.IQ plays an important role as well as EQ
D.both IQ and EQ are the key points that should be considered
【答案與解析】 A 推斷題。根據(jù)文章第1段和第2段可知成功與否和一個人的情商關(guān)系大于智商。
4.Which of following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.People with high IQ are likely to gain knowledge quickly.
B.At work EQ gets you hired easily and IQ gets you promoted.
C.Having a high IQ will help us in some ways but having a high EQ might help us even more.
D.People's EQ could be raised much more than their IQ.
【答案與解析】 B 推斷題。根據(jù)文章所述內(nèi)容可知“高智商使你被雇傭,而高情商會使你得到晉升”。
Ⅳ.短文改錯
It was fine yesterday and the sun was shining in sky. I went boating by myself. I didn't take some friends with me because I wanted to be lonely. I hired a boat and rowed slowly in the center of the lake. A fresh breeze was blowing, fishes were swimming and birds were singing.When I reached to the center, I took up the paddles and lied down in the boat. With the blue sky over me and green water around me, I was extremely relaxing. Over two hours passed when I knew it. I came back home very lately, but I didn't feel tired at all, for I had really had a good time.
【答案】 1.第1句sky前加the 2.第3句someany 3.第3句lonelyalone 4.第4句into 5.第5句fishesfish 6.第6句去掉to 7.第6句liedlay 8.第7句relaxingrelaxed 9.第8句whenbefore 10.第9句latelylate
Ⅴ.書面表達(dá)
