Section C (8 marks)

Directions： Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.

If there were a literary award bigger than the Nobel Prize， Alice Munro would probably win that， too. Munro,82， was awarded literature’s highest honor， respected by the Nobel committee as a thorough but forgiving chronicler(事件的記錄者) of the human spirit.

Among her best-known is The Bear Came Over the Mountain， about a woman who agrees with her husband that she should be put in a nursing home. The narrative begins in a relatively tender， traditional mood. But we soon learn that the husband has been unfaithful and doesn’t always regret it. The wife， meanwhile， has fallen for a man at the nursing home. Munro won a National Book Critics Circle prize in 1998 for The Love of a Good Woman and she is also a three-time winner of the Governor General’s prize， Canada’s highest literary honor.

She received a scholarship to study at the University of Western Ontario， majoring in journalism， and was still an undergraduate when she sold a story to CBC radio in Canada. She dropped out to marry a fellow student， James Munro， had three children and became a full-time housewife. By her early 30s， she was so frightened and depressed that she could barely write a full sentence.

Her good fortune was to open a bookstore， in 1963. Inspired by everything from the conversation of adults to simply filling out invoices(發(fā)票)， she saw her narrative talents resurface. Her first collection， Dance of the Happy Shades， came out in 1968 and won the Governor General’s prize.

Her books having been sold more than 1 million copies in the U.S. alone， she has long been an international ambassador for the short story. Critics and peers have praised her in every way a writer can be praised： the precision of her language； the perfection of detail； the surprise and logic of her storytelling； the graceful shifts of moods. So， she is the kind of writer about whom it is often said－no matter how well known she becomes—that she ought to be better known.

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.

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).
