　　The next day, we visited the Ladies’ Street(女人街). There were a lot of clothes shops. The clothes were cheap and beautiful. Alice bought some clothes for her parents and friends. Then we went to the Seafood(海鲜) Street. We bought some seafood. We also had seafood in a restaurant. Both of us enjoyed the meal. Then we went to a concert(音乐会) in the evening. The music was fantastic!

　　On the third day, the weather was very hot, so we decided to visit Hong Kong Wetland Park . We saw many kinds of plants and animals in it.they were very interesting.

Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.

　　While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it.  Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加强) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:

　　Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （独处） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.

　　Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.

　　Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.

　　Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.

　　Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直觉) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （渐渐推动） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.

2.The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.

   A. People will lead to a greater good.        

 B. People will think about a problem in a different way. 

C. People will expect answers through e-mails.

D. People will keep away from their busy life.   

4. What is the best title for the passage?

　 “ Soon, honey, ”Mummy replied distractedly (心不在焉的) because she was following a difficult recipe(cookbook) for dinner.

　　I ran back to the door for I knew that Daddy was coming and that I wasn’t standing there for nothing, I began to read the words from my favorite books.

The next thing I knew was that the door opened and there stood Daddy. I stood up and         my arms . I hugged him tightly and whispered, “I love you”.

　　As I sit at the computer finishing this story, I know Daddy will be home soon. I still        when he’s late. I still go to greet him when he arrives. And I still tell him I love him.
