10.A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it.Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see.Some last a few minutes before they give in.But others are determined to wait until the last moment.
By the time the children reach high school,something remarkable has happened.A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation(誘惑) early were more likely to be lonely,easily frustrated and inflexible(頑固的).
Actually,the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.
The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists'concerns.But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.
Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman,writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes to predicting people's success,brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as"character".
EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one's ability to handle stress,for instance,affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use.Among the ingredients (要素) for success,researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.
While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously,some few fear EQ causes misuse.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了自我控制能力是個(gè)人成功地作用,從兒時(shí)開始個(gè)人的自我控制能力就有了不同,它顯示了一個(gè)人的情商.
解答 66.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章第二段"A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable"可知四歲兒童的實(shí)驗(yàn)表明自我控制能力是個(gè)人成功地作用;故選C.
67.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段"EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together"可知情商不是智商的對(duì)立面.研究者們一直試圖了解他們是如何一起工作;故選D.
68.D.詞義推斷題.根據(jù)文章第四段"But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul"腦理論不能解釋我們所知道,有些人在面對(duì)煩惱會(huì)保持樂觀比別人沉淪的要少的原因;可知詞義為樂觀積極;故選D.
