EQ is a way of 【小题1】（measure） how a person recognizes emotions in himself or herself and others , and makes these emotional states work better as a group or team. IQ is a value that 【小题2】（indicate） a person's ability to learn, understand, and apply information and skills in a meaningful way. The major 【小题3】（differ）between EQ and IQ is what part of a person's mental abilities they measure; understanding emotions or understanding information.

According to some 【小题4】（theory）of brain function, a high EQ means someone is self-confident ,self-aware, and able to handle difficult emotional experiences. It is often tied directly 【小题5】 the degree of success a person may have in the workplace and in 【小题6】（person）relationships. People with high EQs can often better recognize and control their own emotions, and recognize  emotional states of others 【小题7】（adjust）their behavior accordingly.

A person's IQ, on the other hand, measures concepts like logical reasoning and math skills rather than creative potential or emotional abilities. People with high IQs may be able to learn certain subjects very quickly and make connections between ideas 【小题8】 will be missed by others. They often have great academic success, 【小题9】 they may struggle to find classes that challenge them. The ability to acquire knowledge does not 【小题10】（necessary）mean people can recognize and manage their own emotional states , however.

   Ask most people anywhere in the world what they want out of life and the reply will probably be“to be happy”. Ed Deiner，an American psychology professor，has spent his whole life studying what makes people happy，comparing levels of happiness between cultures and trying to find out exactly why we enjoy ourselves.

Many people would say that this question does not need an answer. But Professor Deiner has one anyway. “If you’re a cheerful，happy person，your marriage is more likely to last，and you’re more likely to make money and be successful in your job. On average，happy people have stronger immune systems（免疫系统），and there is some evidence that they live longer. ”

So who are the world’s happiest people？It depends on how the word is defined. There is individual（个人的）happiness，the sense of joy we get when we do something we like. But there is also the feeling of satisfaction we get when we know that others respect us and approve of how we behave. According to Professor Deiner，the Western world pursues individual happiness while Asia prefers mutual satisfaction.

“In the West，the individualistic culture means that your mood matters much more than it does in the East. People ask themselves if they are doing what is fun or interesting. They become unhappy when they can’t do any of these things. If you ask people from Japan or China whether they are happy，they tend to look at what has gone wrong in their lives. If not much has gone wrong，then they are satisfied. ”

“People from Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries have the happiest culture，”Professor Deiner found. “The biggest cultural difference is to do with pride and shame. Hispanic cultures report much more pride and much less shame than others. ”

Income（收入）also makes a big difference to people’s happiness，but only at the lowest levels. Average income earners in the US are much happier than people in poverty. But millionaires are only a little bit happier than people on average incomes. It seems that money makes us happy when we have enough to feel safe.

【小题1】According to the passage, happy people enjoy the following except _______.

A．a long marriage	B．career success
C．better health	D．respect from others

【小题2】What can be inferred from the fifth paragraph?

A．Hispanic cultures put stress on pride and shame.

B．Spanish people take too much pride in themselves.

C．Opinions towards pride and shame decide Spanish happiness.

D．If you are from Spain，you are the happiest.

【小题3】In the last paragraph，what does the writer want to tell us?

A．Poor people enjoy the same happiness as millionaires.

B．The higher income one gets，the happier life he lives.

C．Enough money can make us feel safe and happy.

D．Average income earners live the happiest life.

【小题4】What does the passage mainly discuss？

A．Cultural differences in happiness.

B．Reasons for happiness.

C．The happiest culture.

D．People’s opinions of happiness.

Things Your Pilot Won't Tell You
You may not be getting the airline you paid for．
You may go to an airline website and buy a ticket, and get onto an airplane that has a similar name painted on it, but half the time, you're really on a regional （地方的） airline．The regionals aren't held to the same safety standards as the majors: their pilots aren't required to have as much training and experience, and the public doesn't know that．
—Captain at a major airline
If you're a nervous flier, book a morning flight．
The heating of the ground later causes bumpier （颠簸的） air, and it's much more likely to thunderstorm in the afternoon．

You never know where the safest seat is．
There is no safest place to sit．In one accident, the people in the back are dead; in the next, it's the people up front．

   We live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently(坚持地).
Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesn't happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.
Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing(追求). Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.
When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable.
When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.
Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.
Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.
Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly don't take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.
You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.

   Skywriting is a form of advertising in which a pilot is bound to spell out a brief slogan or catchphrase in letters formed by smoke. In general, a customer would choose a specific place and time for the skywriting to appear. The message would only last as long as winds are relatively calm and the sky is clear. Single plane skywriting has largely been replaced by multi-plane "skytyping" , a computer-controlled method involving puffs of smoke from a row of aircraft.

The first official skywriting show took place over New York City in November of 1922. A skywriting pioneer and Royal Air Force（RAF）pilot named John Savage sat with the president of the American Tobacco Company, George Hill, as a fellow RAF ace pilot named Captain Cyril Turner flew into position over New York City. Captain Turner spelled out "HELLO USA CALL VANDERBILT 7200" in white smoke. Over47,000 people called the number, which happened to be the Vanderbilt Hotel where George Hill was staying. Hill became convinced that the skywriting advertisements would work well to promote his Lucky Strike cigarettes.

Skywriting continued to grow in popularity as both an advertising medium and a personal message service. Customers could request anything from "Eat at Joe's" to "Will You Marry Me？"Messages and slogans would naturally have to remain short, but even a simple phone number could produce a lot of curious potential（潜在的）customers for a small investment.

The development of the national highway system after WW Ⅱ spelled the beginning of the end for the skywriting industry. Instead of posting a few words in the sky, advertisers could now fill entire billboards with all sorts of pictures. Thousands of captive audience would pass by these new advertising signs every day, unlike the precious few who would come across a typical skywriting message. Many aerial（空中的）advertising companies turned to permanent banners（横幅）pulled behind low-flying aircraft instead.

Some skywriting is still performed today, although only a select number of pilots have the skills necessary for the job.

【小题1】What do we know about skywriting？

A．It is made up of smoke and clouds.

B．It is performed by computers at present.

C．It appears where the pilot wants.

D．It is a kind of ad made in the sky.

【小题2】The third paragraph suggests that skywriting ________.

A．satisfied all of the needs of customers

B．was an effective advertising style

C．appealed to few customers

D．ended up with a message service

【小题3】Why did advertisers give up skywriting？

A．Because skywriting was too expensive to advertise.

B．Because planes were greatly reduced after WWⅡ.

C．Because billboards could attract more audience.

D．Because it wasn't easy to do such a thing.

【小题4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage？

A．Why people need skywriting

B．How to do skywriting

C．When it is good to do skywriting

D．What skywriting is
