Science Daily (May 1S, 2012) - People who rate themselves as having high emotional    intelligence (El) tend to overestimate (高估) their ability to detect deception(欺骗) in others.      This is the finding of a paper published in the journal Legal and Criminological Psychology on 18 May 2012.

      Professor Stephen Porter. director of the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological     Science and Law at University of British Columbia Canada along with colleagues Dr. Leanne Brinke and Alysha Baker used a standard questionnaire to measure the EI of 116 participants.

      These participants were then asked to view 20 videos from around the world of people     pleading （祈求） for the safe return of a missing family member. In half the videos the person     making the plea was responsible for the missing person's disappearance or murder.

      The participants were asked to judge whether the pleas were honest or deceptive say how much confidence they had in their judgments, report the clues (线索) they had used to make those judgments and rate their emotional response to each plea.

      Professor Porter found that higher EI was associated with overconfidence in assessing the sincerity of the pleas and sympathetic feelings towards people in the videos who turned out to be responsible for the disappearance.

      Although EI, in general, was not associated with being better or worse at telling the difference between truths and lies. people with a higher ability to notice and express emotion (a component of EI) were not so good at spotting when people were telling lies.

      Professor Porter says: "Taken together, these findings suggest findings features of emotional     intelligence and the decision-making processes they lead to may nave the paradoxical (适得其反的) effect of weakening people's ability to detect deception."

     "These findings are important because El is a well-accepted concept and is used in a variety of fields, including the workplace"

I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car．I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work．

Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum．From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money．There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered．This was one of those “don't want to be bothered times”．

“ I hope he doesn't ask me for any money,” I thought．

He didn't．He came and sat on the edge of the pavement in front of the bus stop but he didn't

look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus．After a few minutes he spoke．

“That's a very pretty car,” he said．

He was in rags but he had an air of dignity around him．His badly-grown blond beard kept more than his face warm．

I said, “thanks,” and continued wiping off my car．He sat there quietly as I worked．The expected plea（乞求） for money never came．As the silence between us widened, something inside said, “ask him if he needs any help．” I was sure that he would say “yes” but I held true to the inner voice．

“Do you need any help?” I asked．

He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget．We often look for wisdom in great men and women．We expect it from those of higher learning and achievements．I expected nothing but an outstretched dirty hand．He spoke the three words that shook me．

“Don't we all?” he said．

1.Why did the writer parked his car before the mall?

A. Because he wanted to pick up his wife．

B. Because he wanted to show off his car．

C. Because he wanted to wipe off his car．

D. Because he wanted to do some shopping．

A. dustman             B. driver                                 C. beggar            D. robber

A. A good husband                                B. Didn't he need help? 

C. Don't we all?                                   D. One should be generous
