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．

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．

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.
