Outside our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a seemingly ancient woman waited beside the door with her hand outstretched(伸出的). Every day I put my hand in hers as our eyes ____. She never ____ to return my smile, my grasp, and my greeting.
On the last day of our ___, I found myself ____ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. We had been advised to walk __ through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. Let them ____ us. But tonight I was by myself and felt ____ to face the stream of vehicles. ____ I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, ____ that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos.
Then we moved on ____ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. I had not given her a single coin. We had ____ something vastly more important—a warming of hearts in friendship.
Traveling in poorer nations, I have __ a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most ___ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to ____ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in ____. A few may hurriedly drop a few coins, and then make a quick getaway in hopes that another 20 ragged beggars won’t immediately appear on the ____.
For many reasons, giving money is not the best ____ to an outstretched hand. The greatest gift is time and respect. To look beggars in the eye and smile, thus acknowledging their existence, is a small thing. Putting your hand into another’s outstretched hand and grasping it ____ for a moment is also a small thing. But these are important. Everyone needs ____, to be seen as worthy of being ____, to feel appreciated and loved. And I believe that everyone is worthy and worth knowing.

A euphemism (from the Greek words eu--well and pheme--speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking about difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people, for example, would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying：We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly, or cuddly rather than fat.
Euphemisms are an important part of every language, but it seems that English has an ever-growing number of them. The non-native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears, he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom, or comfort station) is, but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned, for example, that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant. If, however, he says to his boss," Congratulations! I hear your wife is in the family way," he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.
Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School, for example, the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school). Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straight-forward, and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.
1.According to the passage, people use euphemisms in order to .
A. make themselves understood
B. attract attention
C. to sound straightforward
D. avoid embarrassment
2.A person who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact .
A. tall and handsome B. ugly and fat
C. ugly but tall D. pretty and slim
3.When an English lady says she has to see a man about a dog, she might want to .
A. go to the toilet
B. see an ugly friend
C. have her old dog killed
D. see a pregnant woman
4.The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to .
A. stress that euphemisms are an important part of every language
B. inform readers that English has an ever-growing number of euphemisms
C. warn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemisms
D. suggest non-native speakers use euphemisms as often as possible
5.At Frankfurt International School, the students who receive lessons in Study Center .
A. work hard at their lessons
B. do well in school
C. have poor grades in the subjects
D. prefer to learn more

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 early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible.
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 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 elements 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.
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. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence
D. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success
2.Which of the following is True of EQ and IQ according to the text?
A. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.
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. There is no link between EQ and IQ.
3.The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.
A. optimistic B. floating
C. excited D. kind
4.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?
A. Information about famous people with high EQ.
B. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.
C. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.
D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.
