The concept of Emotional Intelligence(EQ or EI)was first given by Peter Salovey and John Mayer.but it became widely popular after the publication of Daniel Coleman’s best seller“Emotional Intelligence”in 1995.The meaning of emotional intelligence is“Knowing how you and others feel and what to do about it.”

    The control center of our emotions is a small part of oily brain called the amygdala,,which scans incoming signals from our sensory organs(eyes,ears…)and acts as the emotional alarm center of our bed.When it detects a condition that we hate,that we fear,or that could hurt us,it sends an immediate signal to the other parts of our brain that controls our actions.

    The amygdala's widespread web of neural(神经系统的)connections allows it,during an emotional emergency.to take control of much of the rest of the brain including the mind.This explains why we sometimes do things “without thinking’’ like closing our eyes just before a flying insect hits our face or losing control during the course of a heated argument.

    Emotions are important for good decision-making and to keep friendly relationships with others around us.We admire people with determination when have the ability to control their emotions when they face pressure,arguments or aggression(attack).We also enjoy being with people who can express co-operation and forgiveness.We need these emotions to be happy in our professional life as much as we need them in our private life.

    The majority of problems at work are caused by unmet emotional needs.The emotional-intelligent manager knows bow to make out and manage the emotional needs of both the customers and his team.He or she.wants to help others feel respected,supported,helped,trusted,important,special,useful,needed and valued.

    When our emotional needs are satisfled, we feel better,and when we feel better,we are more productive,patient,creative,open-minded,and caring.

    Emotional intelligence requires that we develop our abilities in four main areas:

    1) self-awareness

      being aware of our emotions as they happen;

    2) managing emotions

      keeping a healthy balance of emotion and thinking;

    3) recognizing emotions in others

      it’s a great communicating skill;

    4) handling relationships

      managing emotions in others increases our popularity.our leadership ability and our

      communication effectiveness.

    B.After computers became widely spread in our life.

    C.After Daniel Coleman published his book on EQ.

    D.After an expert said it was quite important.

73.Which of the following controls our emotion?

    A.Amygdala in our brains.

    B.Our sensory organs.

    C.Our mind.

    D.Our head.

74.What is the reason for most of the problems we meet at werk?

    A.Our emotional needs cannot be satisfied.

    B.We cannot get along well with others.

    C.We do not have the nerves of steel.

    D.We are extremely tired.

75.According to the passage,“managing emotions”suggests that

  Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house.A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health.This new theory argues that healing(the process of becoming healthy and strong again)is at our fingertips:we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.

    Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven.They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki,Yoga,Tai Chi.These waste our time,something that is quite precious in our material world.There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones.We must admit that these methods are very effective in the examples that they provide.However,there are some“everyday complaints”such as back pains,headaches,which are treated currently with medicine.When you have a headache,you take an Aspirin;when you cannot sleep,you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these.When you use these pills for a long period,you become dependent on them;you cannot sleep without them.We pay huge amounts of money and but never get better.How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself,you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical.Also,there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.

    They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs.They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine.How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take.  Actually,instead of drugs which arc expensive and have many side effects,you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life,find an emotional balance,leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.

    Some people may still hold that in our material world,everything depends on time.How would it be possible to find time to do Reiki?In fact,Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time.It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.

A Beautiful Mind

    A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive,but then Ran Howard isn’t among most directors.Despite an impressive list of credits,

A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date.combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining?

    The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honours with his acting John Nash.the Nobel Prize.winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia(精神分裂症).A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero,not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness.

    In 1947.Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton.“To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,”the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing.His shyness and straight forward approach brought him few friends.

    After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea.Nash’s career took off and his reputation as secured.He balanced research work with teaching,which is where he met the bright and  beautiful student Alicia(Jennifer Connelly).Things in his life were going well when his talent for

code breaking brought him to the attention of the military who employed him during the early stage of the cold war with Russia.However。the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop.

    Crowe’s performance is perfect.He and Conneny ignite(make something exciting)the film’s Dassionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Mieia,whose courage,strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.
