Unlike IQ, emotional intelligence is something we can develop with practice and time.1..

Here are some ways to improve emotional intelligence.

Pay attention to your own feelings

One of the first steps in improving your EQ is paying attention to your body language. Pause and pay attention to your body language when you experience different emotions. 2.? A lot of people will clench their fists, tighten their breathing, and tense up their shoulders. Release the tension consciously and take control of your breath.

Also, consider writing down your feelings in a journal. 3., but can help you understand more details about how you came to feel a certain way.

Empathize

Pause before reacting and put yourself into the other person’s place. How would you feel in his or her position? 4.? Understanding others is a quick way to release tension. It helps diffuse(化解) many situations while also making us better negotiators.

Active listening

5.. Active listening is a deliberate attempt to not only hear what someone is saying, but to understand it. This sounds simple enough, but many people will nod to give the impression of listening, but will actually just be waiting to reply—or ignore the other person altogether.

Those with low EQ will impulsively start talking about themselves every chance they get, no matter what the topic is. For active listening, try to build a conversation, which can promote mutual understanding.

A. It’s not only a good release

B. It will make a big difference

C. How should you deal with such situations

D. Here’s one skill that many people could improve

E. What could be a possible reason for their behavior

F. It’s a skill that will pay off many times in our lives

G. What do you instinctively do when you get bad news

While IQ (Intelligence Quotient) tells you how smart you are. EQ (Emotional Quotient) tells you how well you use your smartness. Professor Salovery, the psychologist who created the term, EQ, says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.

Supported by his research, he suggested that when predicting future successes, a person’s brainpower, as measured by IQ tests, might actually matter less than a person’s character, or EQ. Professor Salovery may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams? Perhaps it is because of their EQ. People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ. It is not. Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs, there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.

For a long time, researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised. The geneticists said no, while the social scientists said yes. Furthermore, the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ, particularly in terms of “people skills”, such as understanding and communication.

Recently, a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students. When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students, they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties. At the same time, there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes. They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things. People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas, so they tend to be more creative in their thinking. Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.

1. The second paragraph tells us that ________.

A. people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ

B. EQ is the opposite of IQ

C. people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life

D. people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ

2.What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled

children?

A. Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.

B. There was no change in the normal students.

C. The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.

D. The disabled students were more willing to help others.

3. Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?

A. IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.

B. IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.

C. EQ can get people hired.

D. A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.

4.Which of the following would be the best title of this passage?

A. A person’s brainpower.                 B. IQ, EQ and success.

C. IQ and a person’s character.            D. A person’s IQ and EQ.

Anger is a common emotion when we experience, see, hear, and feel someone or something is not right or contrary to our views. But people easy to get angry should learn about anger management to control their anger. 1.

Stay away for a while and give yourself time to think. When you feel someone did something wrong, don’t respond to the situation immediately. 2. If necessary, walk away from the source of your problem. After you feel relaxed, face it.

3. It is often that people get angry because they didn’t evaluate the problem deeper. Maybe they haven’t realized the real cause of the problem. For example, you get mad with your boyfriend because he is late to pick you up. In that case, instead of judging him for being irresponsible, ask him “Why are you so late?” The reason may be that he had to take care of something important before. If you can get to the root of your problem and overcome it, you won’t be an ill-tempered person.

Think through your responses and the consequences. There are countless people who feel regretful because they aren’t able to control their temper. Usually, persons who can’t control their temper, tend to hurt others’ feelings, and even harm others physically. 4. If you have already shown your anger excessively, apologize sincerely, and tell your true purpose.

Be mature in thought and action. People who are closely associated with anger, usually have a serious problem with their maturity. Teenagers tend to be more explosive in emotions because they are not yet mature in thinking and don’t have a stable emotion. But that doesn’t mean all adults are mature people. 5. When you’ve finished reading this article, whether you are teenagers or adults, try to always think before you act.

A. Do your favourite activity.

B. Get to the root of your problem.

C. Think again the consequences of your anger.

D. Anger on its own does not offer us a solution.

E. There are some general tips to control our anger.

F. Age levels are not always directly related to the level of maturity,

G. Instead, take some time to think, calm yourself, and take a deep breath.

As we all know, emotional intelligence (EI) has been an important factor in our success and happiness, not only at work, but in our relationships and all areas of our lives. So what sets emotionally intelligent people apart?

1.

They focus on the positive. While not ignoring the bad news, emotionally intelligent people do not spend a lot of time and energy focusing on problems. 2. These people focus on what they are able to do and what is within their control.

They surround themselves with positive people. People with a lot of EI don’t spend a lot of time listening to complainers. They are aware that those people are not helpful to them. 3.

How much can environment affect intelligence? In one study, striking increases in IQ occurred

in 25 children who were moved from an orphanage(孤儿院) to more stimulating（使人兴奋的，使人振奋的） environments．The children, who were all considered mentally retarded and unadoptable, were moved to an institution where they received personal attention from adults．Later, these supposedly retarded children were adopted by parents who gave them love, a family ,and a stimulating home environment．The children gained an average of 29 IQ points．For one child, the increase was an amazing 58 points．A second group of initially less "retarded" children, who stayed in the orphanage, lost an average of 26 IQ points.

Other encouraging results can be found in early childhood education programs, which provide

stimulating intellectual experiences for disadvantaged children．In one study, children from low-income families were given enriched environments from early infancy(婴儿期) through preschool．By age 2 their IQ scores were already higher than those in a control group．More important, they were still 5 points higher seven years later．High-quality enrichment programs such as Head Start can prevent children from falling behind in school.

A particularly striking environmental effect is the fact that 14 nations have shown average IQ

gains of from 5 to 25 points during the last 30 years．These IQ boosts, averaging 15 points, occurred in far too short a time for genetics to explain them．It is more likely that the gains reflect environmental forces, such as improved education, nutrition, and living in a technologically complex society.
