　　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．

In the early 1990s the word “Internet” was strange to most people. But today, Internet has become a useful tool for people all over the world. Maybe Internet has been the greatest invention in the field of communication in the history of mankind. Communicating with others on the Internet is much faster. We can chat with a person who is sitting in the other part of the world. We can e-mail our friends and they can read the e-mails within a minute.
Giving all kinds of information is probably the biggest advantage of the Internet. We can use search engines to find the information we need. Just type in a keyword or keywords and the search engine will give us a list of suitable websites to look at.

We can enjoy a lot on the Internet by downloading games, visiting chat rooms or surfing(浏览)websites. There are some games for free. We can meet new and interesting people in the chat now. We can also listen to music and see films.
Now, there is a lot of service on the Internet such as online banking, job finding and ticket buying. We can also do shopping and find nearly all kinds of goods. Sometimes we can find something that is quite good but very cheap.
【小题1】How many main advantages of the Internet are talked about in the last passage?
