13．A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it．Some children reach eagerly for the candy 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 amazing 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 （诱惑） early were more likely to be lonely，easily upset in time of difficulties and inflexible （固守己见的）．
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 defeat a less resistant （有抵抗力的） person．
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 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 invites misuse．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了自我控制能力是个人成功地作用，从儿时开始个人的自我控制能力就有了不同，它显示了一个人的情商．
解答 63．A．推理判断题．根据文章第一段"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"可知作者在课文开头提到实验是为了引出课文的主题；故选A．
64．C．细节理解题．根据文章第二段"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"可知四岁儿童的实验表明自我控制能力是个人成功地作用；故选C．
65．B．词义推断题．根据文章第四段"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"脑理论不能解释我们所知道，有些人在面对烦恼会保持乐观比别人沉沦的要少的原因；可知词义为乐观积极；故选B．
66．D．细节理解题．根据文章倒数第二段"EQ is not the opposite of IQ．What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together"可知情商不是智商的对立面．研究者们一直试图了解他们是如何一起工作；故选D．
点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力，做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确的选择．在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实，要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断．
