A ful

23、l 80% comes from other factors, including what I call emotional intelligence. Following are two of the major qualities that make up emotional intelligence, and how they can be developed: Self-awareness The ability to recognize a feeling as it happens is the keystone of emotional intelligence. People

24、 with greater certainty about their emotions are better pilots of their lives. Developing self-awareness requires tuning in to what neurologist Antonio Damasio calls “gut feelings“. Gut feelings can occur without a person being consciously aware of them. For example, when people who fear snakes are

25、shown a picture of a snake, sensors on their skin will detects sweat, a sign of anxiety, even though the people say they do not feel fear. The sweat shows up even when a picture is presented so rapidly that the subject has no conscious awareness of seeing it. Through deliberate effort we can become

26、more aware of our gut feelings. Take someone who is annoyed by a rude encounter for hours after it occurred. He may be unaware of his irritability and surprised when someone calls attention to it. But if he evaluates his feelings, he can change them. Emotional self-awareness is the building block of

27、 the next fundamental of emotional intelligence: being able to shake off a bad mood. Mood Management Bad as well as good moods spice life and build character. The key is balance. We often have little control over when we are swept by emotion. But we can have some say in how long that emotion will la

28、st. Psychologist Dianne Tice asked more than 400 men and women about their strategies for escaping foul moods. Her research, along with that of other psychologists, provides valuable information on how to change a bad mood. Of all the moods that people want to escape, rage seems to be the hardest to

29、 deal with. When someone in another car eats you off on the highway, your reflexive thought may be: That jerk! He could have hit me! I can“t let him get away with that! The more you stew, the angrier you get. Such is the stuff of hypertension and reckless driving. What should you do to relieve rage?

30、 One myth is that ventilating will make you feel better. In fact, researchers had found that“s one of the worst strategies. A more effective technique is “reframing“, which means consciously reinterpreting a situation in a more positive light. In the case of the driver who cuts you off, you might te

31、ll yourself: Maybe he had some emergency. This is one of the most potent ways, Tice found, to put anger to rest. Going off alone to cool down is also an effective way to refuse anger, especially if you can“t think clearly. Tice found that a large proportion of men cool down by going for a drivea fin

32、ding that inspired him to drive more defensively. A safer alternative is exercise, such as taking a long walk. Whatever you do, dont waste the time pursuing your train of angry thoughts. Your aim should be to distract yourself. The techniques of reframing and distraction can alleviate depression and

33、 anxiety as well as anger. Add to them such relaxation techniques as deep breathing and meditation and you have an arsenal of weapons against bad moods.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, the importance of knowing one“s gut feelings is that（分数：2.00）A.one can develop themB.one can call others“ att

34、ention to themC.one may get rid of themD.one may control them(2).The word “spice“ in paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to（分数：2.00）A.add interest toB.lengthenC.make dullD.bring into existence(3).On mood control, the author seems to suggest that we（分数：2.00）A.can control the occurrence of moodB.are oft

36、 the passage?（分数：2.00）A.What is emotional intelligence?B.How to develop emotional intelligence?C.Strategies for getting rid of foul moods.D.How to control one“s gut feelings.The United States has moved beyond the industrial economy stage to the point where it has become the world“s first service eco

37、nomy. Almost three-fourths of the nonfarm labor force is employed in service industries, and over two-thirds of the nation“s gross national product is accounted for by services. Also, service jobs typically hold up better during a recession than do jobs in industries producing tangible goods. During

38、 the 20-year period of 1966 to 1986, about 36 million new jobs were created in the United Statesfar more than in Japan and Western Europe combined. About 90 percent of these jobs were in service industries. During this same time span, some 22 million women joined the labor forceand 97 percent of the

39、se women went to work in the service sector. These employment trends are expected to continue at least until the year 2010. For the period 19862000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that over 21 million new jobs were created and 93 percent of them were in service industries. Moreover, most of t

40、his explosive growth in services employment is not in low-paying jobs, contrary to the beliefs of many economists, business and labor leaders, and politicians. These people argue that manufacturing jobs, which have been the economic foundation of America“s middle class, are vanishing. They claim tha

41、t factory workers are being replaced with a host of low-wage earners. It is true that manufacturing jobs have declined, with many of them going to foreign countries. It is also true that there has been growth in some low- paying service jobs. Yet cooks and counter people still represent only 1 perce

42、nt of the U.S. labor force today. Furthermore, for many years the fastest-growing occupational category has been “professional, technical, and related work.“ These jobs pay well above the average, and most are in service industries. About one-half of consumer expenditures are for the purchase of ser

43、vices. Projections to the year 2010 indicate that services will attract an even larger share of consumer spending. A drawback of the service economy boom is that the prices of most services have been going up at a considerably faster rate than the prices of most tangible products. You are undoubtedl

44、y aware of this if you have had your car or TV set repaired, had your shoes half-soled, or paid a medical bill in recent years. When we say that services account for close to one-half of consumer expenditures, we still grossly understate the economic importance of services. These figures do not incl

45、ude the vast amounts spent for business services. By all indications, spending for business services has increased even more rapidly than spending for consumer services.（分数：10.00）(1).The first paragraph intends to tell us that（分数：2.00）A.services are more important than industries producing tangible

46、goodsB.services are importantC.service jobs make more money than other jobsD.services are more comfortable than other jobs(2).Between 1966 and 1986, the United States created about（分数：2.00）A.32.4 million service jobsB.32.4 million jobsC.22 million service jobsD.19.8 million service jobs(3).Many econ

47、omists, business and labor leaders and politicians believe that（分数：2.00）A.most of the explosive growth in service employment is not in low-paying jobsB.most of the fast growth in the service sector is in low-paying jobsC.manufacturing jobs are disappearing because they are no longer attractiveD.most of the fast growth in the service sector is in high-paying jobs(4).The importance of services can be shown（分数：2.00）A.only by consumer expenditureB.only by money spent on business servicesC.by money spent on business services as well as on consumer servicesD.
