This is a tense time for students in America，with the exam season in full swing and the stress and anxiety being felt across the country．At some universities，students are reviewing their lessons，knowing that in a few weeks the stress will be over once they put pen to paper in that exam hall．For others，however，that stress and anxiety may well last a while longer as lecturers continue to refuse to set exams．No one knows when things will get back to normal．
The reason behind this trouble is the ongoing argument in higher education between lecturers and employers over pay．The Association of University Teachers(AUT)are currently taking industrial action because of the fact that lecturers have been underpaid for years．Vice-presidents of the universities，who enjoy six-figure salaries，are not making any noises to suggest that this will change in the near future．
The National Union of Students(NUS)absolutely believes that our lecturers should be better paid，and that the promises made to them during the top-up fees debate about extra income must be kept．
It’s shameful that 1ecturers have had to take industrial action to achieve better pay and conditions while vice-presidents’own salaries have risen 25％over the past three years．But the students who are suffering as a result of the argument must be put first．We do not agree with the attitude taken by the AUT，which is refusing to set exams．We admit that the decision to take this course of action was democratically(民主地)reached．However，it is having the biggest effect on our members at this moment in time and we will continue to let the AUT know the results of this．
We call on both sides to sort this mess out．Hopefully then our members can get the horrible exam season Out of the way and start planning，and enjoying，their upcoming summer holiday．
60．The phrase“taking industrial action”in the second paragraph refers to
A．doing some extra work about industry
B．running a factory to earn more money
C．refusing to set papers as a strike
D．asking some workers to support them
61．What is the students’opinion about the argument?
A．They think it’s wrong that the lecturers ask for the better pay．
B．They think what the vice-presidents have done is reasonable and understandable．
C．They totally agree with what the lecturers have done and support them．
D．They hope that the lecturers can set exams as soon as possible．
62．The author wrote this article on behalf of________．
A．the vice-presidents B．the lecturers
C．the students D．the AUT
63．We can infer that this article was written most probably in__________．
A．January B. March C．June D．September

of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence, and how they can be developed.
1.Self-awareness. The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional
intelligence. People with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives.
Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls "gut feelings". Gut
feelings can occur without a person being consciously aware of them. For example, when people who fear snakes are shown a picture of a snake, sensors on their skin will detect sweat, a sign of anxiety, even
though the people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows up even when a picture is presented so
rapidly that the subject has no conscious awareness of seeing it.
Through deliberate effort we can become more aware of our gut feelings. Take someone who is
annoyed by a rude encounter for hours after it occurred. He may be unaware of his irritability(易怒)and
surprised when someone calls attention to it. But if he evaluates his feelings, he can change them. Emotional self-awareness is the building block of the next fundamental of emotional intelligence: being able to shake
off a bad mood.
2.Mood Management. Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is
balance.
We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say in how
long that emotion will last. Psychologist Dianne Tice asked more than 400 men and women about their
strategies for escaping foul moods. Her research, along with that of other psychologists, provides valuable
information on how to change a bad mood.
Of all the moods that people want to escape, rage seems to be the hardest to deal with. When
someone in another car cuts you off on a highway, your instant response may be, That jerk! He could
have hit me! I can let him get away with that! The more you stew, the angrier you get. Such is the
stuff of hypertension and reckless driving.
What should you do to relieve rage? One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact,
researchers have found that's one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is 'reframing", which means consciously seeing a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off, you might tell yourself: Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found, to put anger to rest.
Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to refuse anger, especially if you can't think
clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drive----- a finding that
inspired her to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do, don't waste the time pursuing your train of angry thoughts. You aim should be to distract yourself.
The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and anxiety as well as anger. Add to
them such relaxation techniques as deep breathing and meditation(冥想) and you have powerful weapons against bad moods.
