11.The subtitle of my 1995 book Emotional Intelligence(EI) reads,"Why It Can Matter More Than IQ."That subtitle,unfortunately,has led to misunderstandings of what I actually say.Some people even make the absurd claim that"EI accounts for 80 percent of success."
I was reminded this again when looking through comments on an Australian study that fails to find much of a connection between teenagers'level of emotional intelligence and their academic achievements.For me,there's no surprise here.But for those misguided people who think I claim EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement,it would be a"Gotcha!"moment.
My argument is actually that emotional and social skills give people advantages in areas where such abilities make the most difference,like love and leadership.EI does better than IQ in"soft"areas,where intelligence matters relatively little for success.That said,another such area where EI matters more than IQ is in performance at work,when comparing people with roughly the same educational backgrounds like MBAs or accountants.
IQ is a much stronger predictor than EI of which jobs or professions people can enter.However,having enough intelligence to hold a given job does not by itself predict whether one will be a star performer or rise to management or leadership positions in one's field.In part this is because everyone at the top level of a given profession has already been examined for intelligence.At those top levels a high IQ becomes a basic ability,one needed just to get into and stay in the game.
The one place I expect we will be seeing more data showing a relationship between skills in the emotional and social area and school performance will be in studies of children who have gone through social/emotional learning (SEL) programs.These courses give students the self-management skills they need to learn better.And so to the degree that advantage promotes learning,they should do better on academic achievement scores.A study from the University of Illinois finds around a 10 percent increase in achievement test scores among these students.Probably,the SEL programs would also have meant higher scores on the particular assessment of EI used in the Australian study,and so if they had tested such children,there may well have been a positive connection.
So learning seems to be another area where EI may matter-whether more than IQ is a question based on experience.

67.The author writes the passage toC.
A.state his new opinion on IQ and EI
B.explain the importance of IQ and EI
C.clear up some misreading of his book
D.argue for his study into school learning
68.According to the author,EI matters more than IQ forA.
A.family relations; being promoted at work
B.being a leader;receiving an MBA degree
C.winning a quiz;becoming a star performer
D.becoming an accountant;getting an interview
69.The author might agree thatD.
A.intelligence matters greatly for success
B.the subtitle of his book is easily misunderstood
C.EI matters more than IQ for academic achievement
D.IQ determines one's basic ability to enter a certain field
70.We can learn from Paragraph 5 thatD.
A.the two same studies have opposite findings
B.the SEL programs improve students'scores rapidly
C.students'school performance is decided by their EI
D.the SEL programs attempt to promote learning with EI.

10.Imagine looking at a view of mountaintops and wondering about the name of each peak.Suddenly,above each mountaintop,a name appears on the sky.The words are not written in smoke by skywriting planes.The words are actually not in the sky at all.They come from tiny computers in contact lenses(隐形眼镜).
Computers have become smaller and smaller over the decades.The first computers filled houses.Transistors(晶体管) and then chips allowed computers to become small enough to fit on a desktop,then a laptop,and finally a phone.When experimenting with further reductions in size,developers often have to deal with the limits of human eyesight,which control how small the computers can be and still present visible information.
One new solution employs microprojectors(微型投影机) to create a readable display(显示) for tiny computers.These machines project computer information onto any surface.Though an impressive breakthrough,there are potential problems.Such public displays can lead to privacy concerns; most people do not want their information displayed on a wall for everyone to see.Besides,these projectors are extremely expensive,and their screens give users headaches.
Babak Parviz,a researcher at the University of Washington,created another solution:inventing a screen visible only to a person wearing a contact lens.Parviz created a computer in a contact lens that uses the wearer's field of vision as the display.To create the display,Parviz took ordinary soft contact lenses with a wirelessly controlled system.At some point,Parviz says,it will be possible to connect the lens to a remote personal computer device such as a cellphone or a laptop.By looking in a certain direction,the wearer sends the computer visual information about what he or she sees.The device then uses this information to point out the names of peaks.
These contact lenses are inserted and removed in much the same way as ordinary contact lenses.In addition,the computers in the lenses won't block the wearer's sight at all.Although now the computers are not on lenses treating eyesight problems,Parviz hopes that someday the technology will progress to that level.

63.The contact lenses in the text canD.
A.treat eyesight problems
B.offer beautiful views of nature
C.project information on wall surface
D.show information about what wearers see
64.According to Paragraph 3,the microprojectorsA.
A.put people's privacy at risk
B.save computer information
C.cause serious illnesses
D.support users'needs
65.According to the passage,these contact lenses contribute toB.
A.saving users'expenses
B.reducing computers'size
C.limiting the field of vision
D.guarding remote computers
66.What might be the best title for the passage?A
A.Tiny Computers,Amazing Sights
B.Smaller Lenses,Closer Views
C.Progress towards Clearness
D.Road to the Small World.

Do you drink water that's been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?

Tap water that has been left to sit out slowly begins to acquire an off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms(微生物). But that's not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can thank carbon dioxide. After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its pH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely safe to drink.

However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there is more of a chance of bacteria making themselves known; a risk that increases if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But assuming you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.

As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottle, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. "A chemical called bisphenol-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun," he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from heart disease to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn't meant to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.

A. BPAB. the glassC. the microorganismD. carbon dioxide

2.According to Paragragh 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours ________.

3.What should we do with plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car?

A. Throw them away.B. Refill them with fresh water.

C. Use them after they cool down.D. Clean them and use them again.

4.Which of the following is true about BPA?

A. It is safe for people to use.

B. It is a kind of new material.

C. It can cause great harm to people.

D. It is the main material to make plastic.

9.Hearing the Sweetest Songs
My parents said I lost my hearing as a baby,but I knew I hadn't lost anything.None of my parts had dropped off.Nothing had changed:I could hear music that was close enough to me.I could also hear my mom when she was in the same room.I could even hear my cat purr if I put my good ear on top of him.
I wasn't aware of any hearing loss until I began to wear a hearing aid when I started living alone.I noticed it ruined my peace of mind:pencils tapping,phones ringing,and refrigerators humming.Then,I began to discover many things I couldn't do.I couldn't tell where sounds came from,nor could I tell fire alarms from burglar alarms.I once missed a job interview because I misheard the address on the phone.For the first time,I had to admit that I had lost something.
Unlike a wheelchair,my disability doesn't announce itself.When I got jobs,I chose to keep it as a secret.One day a business friend said,"Nicolette,sometimes in meetings you answer the wrong questions.People don't know you can't hear,so they think you're strange,stupid-or just plain rude.It would be better to just tell them."But I knew if I told,people might see only my disability,and they might forget that I was also a writer,a painter,and a good gardener.I felt disabled and helpless.
This bothered me till I met my husband.One morning at the shore I was listening to the sounds of the sea when my husband said,"Hear the bird?""What bird?"I listened hard until I heard a tiny sound.If he hadn't mentioned it I would never have noticed it.As I listened,slowly I began to hear-or perhaps imagine-a distant song.Did I really hear it?Or just heard in my heart what he shared with me?I realized that songs imagined were as sweet as songs heard and songs shared were sweeter still.
This sharing is what both the disabled and non-disabled want.Every one of us,if we live long enough,will become disabled in some way.Let's share.Now,just let me see your lips when you speak.And ask what you want to know.These are conversations we all should have,and it's not that hard to begin.

60.When the author wore the hearing aid,sheC.
A.felt better prepared for the job interviews
B.was able to enjoy different sounds
C.experienced a sense of loss
D.was teased by others
61.She didn't tell her disability to others becauseA.
A.people might focus on her hearing loss
B.she could get the work done as abled
C.people might be curious about it
D.she wanted to do more jobs
62.Why did Nicolette write the passage?B
A.To draw people's attention to the hearing problem.
B.To tell people not to treat the disabled differently.
C.To remember the challenges she faced.
D.To show how much she missed before.
