Emotional intelligence is a person's ability to understand their own emotions and those of others, and to act appropriately using these emotions. Research suggests that a person’s emotional intelligence (EQ) might be a greater predictor of success than his or her intellectual intelligence(IQ), despite an assumption that people with high IQs will naturally accomplish more in life.
The Marshmallow Test is mentioned in Emotional Intelligence, by Goleman. How a child performs on this test at the age of 4 is a better predictor of his or her future success in life than his or her IQ.
What researchers do is leave the child alone in a room with a marshmallow, telling them they can either eat the marshmallow immediately, or, if they can wait till the researchers return, they can have 5 marshmallows.
What this is testing is ―impulse control and the ability to ―delay gratification . It’s an example of ―frustration tolerance . Much of what we want later on in life requires resisting the immediate impulse, and also being able to ―delay gratification , i.e., when in college, you might have preferred to be off surfing in Hawaii, but, since you valued what a college education would do for you, you stuck with it. And it meant giving up some things you might have preferred doing at the time.
Some of the children can’t resist, and take the marshmallow immediately. Others stick it out, and what do they do? They count their fingers and toes... get up and look out the window... find a book in the room and read it... look up at the ceiling—they are very clever!
Somewhere they developed this skill... could it have been their parents?
My mom used to tell me ―When you’re angry, stop and count to ten. She was teaching me to stop and think before I spoke or took action. This is a tried-and-true way to emotional intelligence—stopping to think before you act or react.

A、both ―impulse control and the ability to ―delay gratification

D、neither ―impulse control nor the ability to ―delay gratification

A、the author can resist temptations
B、the author is very clever
C、some children develop their EQ through their parents’teaching

Every day we experiencc one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it It is not the amszing complexity of television. Nor the impressive tcchnology of transport The universal wonder we share and
Experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that tend to forget what a miracle（奇迹）it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s went show, humans are a species of animal that have deve pod their own special act. If we reduce it to basie ferms, it’s a ability for communicating information to ther by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not the to don’t have other powers of communication. Our facia. expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or jout or disappointment. The way we hold our beads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling(直立的)fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed bead or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

A.our ability to use language
B.the mintle of technalay

第9题：
It has meant that in the first place the amount of benefits must be small lest people’s willingness to work and support themselves suffers.
本题考核知识点：目的状语从句的翻译
该句是一个含有lest引导的目的状语从句的复合句。主句部分又包含了一个that引导的宾语从句。主句的主语为代词it，考生翻译时应联系上下文找出它所指代的对象，避免产生歧义。在此句中，it指代的是前文整个句子，可以译为“这种观念”。Mean字面含义是“表示．．．的意思”，在这里因为主语译成观念，所以可将mean活译成“认为”与之相搭配。连词lest引导目的状语从句，按字面意思直译是“以免人们的积极性受到损害”，但是考虑到要突出主语以及具体动作，可依照汉语习惯译成主动句。
词汇：benefit常见含义是“好处，利益”，因为整个文章谈论的是社会保障问题，所以应译成“救济金，保障金”。in the first place字面意思是“在第一的位置上”，一般译为“首先”。Willingness原意为“甘愿，自愿”，Suffer意为“受损害，受痛苦”，两个词搭配在一起，译为“积极性受到损害”或“损害积极性”。
译文：首先，这种观念认为，救济金的数额必须小，以免损害人们主动工作，自食其力的积极性。
