　　Words：335　难度系数：　建议用时：6分钟

　　The other day at lunch I was part of a whole group of colleagues and we were talking behind our boss’s back.She’s the new principal (校长) of our middle school.

　　We talked about how kind she is to us.She writes notes to wish us happy holidays，or to thank us for jobs well done.She checks on us when she knows we’re facing difficulties outside of school with our health or with our families.

　　All too often，when we talk nice behind someone’s back，they never know about it！I sent her a quick email to report the conversation.She replied saying how much she appreciated hearing about it.When I overheard (偷听) conversations about the retirement of our principal，I thought she should know how we felt.So I made sure she did.Cards and emails are great，but maybe it’s just extra heartwarming to know that kind words are being said even “behind your back”．

　　I like to do the same for my students.Of course I give them my own compliments (恭维)，but I love to let them know when other adults have noticed their good behavior and attitudes.Then it’s absolutely necessary to let them know it too！It matters when what they notice is good.

　　I’ve known from the other side how much this can mean.I often lack confidence in my own abilities as a teacher，so it gave me quite a lift when a friend who works with families in the community mentioned that he has heard several times from parents how glad they are to have their kids in my class.It just feels more important somehow to have the words said by people who don’t know I’ll ever hear them.

　　Sure，it’s pleasant when we can say nice things about other people.Watch for your next opportunity to be the reporter！Make sure to tell them about the nice things being said behind their backs!

　　1．Why did these colleagues talk behind their boss’s back?

　　A．They were afraid of her.

　　B．She treated them badly.

　　C．She was kind to them.

　　D．It was their daily practice.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据文章第一段和第二段可知，作者的老板——中学校长对他们太好了，因此，作者和同事们背后讨论她的好处，答案选C。

　　2．Why did the author report their conversation to her principal?

　　A．They were good friends.

　　B．The principals hated them.

　　C．She guessed her principal might be glad to hear it.

　　D．She wanted to be praised.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章第三段的内容可推知，作者是揣摩着校长应该是喜欢知道这些谈话的，所以作者把同事们背后说的关于她的好话告诉了她。

　　3．What encouraged the author to be a good teacher?

　　A．Others’ nice talk behind her back.

　　B．Her good knowledge in teaching.

　　C．Her rich experience in teaching.

　　D．Her principal’s help.

　　解析：选A。细节理解题。根据文章第五段的第二句话可知，正是由于有人告诉作者别人在背后说作者是个好老师，才使得作者对教学增强了自信心。故答案选A。

　　4．In the text，the author mainly wanted to advise us ________.

　　A．to accept others’ ideas modestly

　　B．not to speak ill of others behind

　　C．to listen to others’ talk secretly

　　D．to report the nice things said behind people’s backs

　　解析：选D。主旨大意题。文章第三、四、五段分别举例说明把人们背后说的有关某人的好话告诉这个人，会对他产生积极的作用；文章最后一段又进一步进行了总结，要找机会成为别人背后好话的报告者。

　　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(诱惑) early on were more likely to be lonely，easily frustrated(沮丧)and inflexible(固守己见的)．

　　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 as 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 factors 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 invites misuse.

　　1．The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ________.

　　A．the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

　　B．emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence

　　C．the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success

　　D．candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence

　　解析：选C。考查逻辑推理能力。从第2段第2句可推理出答案。

　　2．Which of the following is true of EQ and IQ according to the text?

　　A．The higher a person’s EQ is，the higher his or her IQ is.

　　B．The higher a person’s IQ is，the higher his or her EQ is.

　　C．Some people can be blessed with lots of both，but some with little of either.

　　D．Scientists have already discovered the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

　　解析：选C。考查逻辑推理能力。从倒数第2段第1句EQ is not the opposite of IQ.可推理出答案。

　　3．The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

　　A．kind

　　B．floating

　　C．excited

　　D．optimistic

　　解析：选D。考查根据上下文推断生词词义的能力。D信息从该句中的sink可推理出。

　　4．What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

　　A．Information about famous people with high EQ.

　　B．Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

　　C．Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.

　　D．Strong demand for basic emotional education.

　　解析：选B。考查对文章结构的把握和逻辑推理能力。B信息从文章的最后部分some few fear EQ invites misuse可推理出。

　　(2010·高考课标全国卷)There were smiling children all the way.Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang.Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives.This is the simple village people of Malaysia.I was moved.

　　I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train.I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread.I looked about the train.There was not one familiar face.I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.

　　It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia.Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past.As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green.Then the first village came into sight.Immediately I came alive；I decided to wave back.

　　From then on my journey became interesting.I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life.Then everything came alive.The mountains seemed to speak to me.Even the trees were smiling.I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.

　　The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry.I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3∶00 pm...Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth.I looked at the people all around me.They all looked beautiful.When my uncle arrived with a smile，I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug.I had never done this before.He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile.We walked arm in arm to his car.

　　I looked forward to the return journey.

　　【解题导语】　这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者乘坐火车做长途跋涉，看见窗外陌生乡村的村民对列车上的乘客投以微笑，这微笑给她带来了快乐，并由此改变了作者对生活的态度。

　　5．The author expected the train trip to be________.

　　A．adventurous　B．pleasant

　　C．exciting

　　D．dull

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。第二段说，作者带了十多本杂志，准备在旅途中一本本地阅读；环顾列车的车厢，没有发现一个熟悉的面孔，“我长叹一声，坐下来读我的《经济学》”，从这些叙述看，作者认为自己这次列车出行会是很枯燥乏味的，于是准备了很多书来打发这枯燥沉闷的旅途。

　　6．What did the author remember most fondly of her train trip?

　　A．The friendly country people.

　　B．The mountains along the way.

　　C．The crowds of people in the streets.

　　D．The simple lunch served on the train.

　　解析：选A。事实细节题。第一段说，作者坐在火车上，看见一路上都有村民们微笑的面孔，马来西亚淳朴的乡村人们打动了她；第四段说“我决定融入马来西亚的生活”，从这些信息推断，A“友好的乡村人们”是作者这次旅途记忆最深刻的东西。

　　7．Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “relish” in the second paragraph?

　　A．choose.

　　B．enjoy.

　　C．prepare for.

　　D．carry on.

　　解析：选B。猜测词义题。第二段划线词的语境说，作者不太relish漫长的列车旅途，于是准备了很多本杂志，由此判断划线词的含义是B，她觉得这样的长途火车旅行是很枯燥的，她不喜欢。

　　8．What can we learn from the story?

　　A．Comfort in traveling by train.

　　B．Pleasure of living in the country.

　　C．Reading gives people delight.

　　D．Smiles brighten people up.

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。从作者此次火车旅行看，开始她觉得这次旅行是枯燥的，看见马来西亚的村民在门口对车上的旅客投以微笑，此时“我被感动了”，并将随身携带的杂志都扔掉了，于是，作者看见的一切都充满了生命力，山脉与树木似乎都在向她微笑。从作者这次旅行的情感态度变化看，这些变化都是因为她在火车上看见了窗外人们的微笑，因此D“微笑能使人的生活充满光明”最能概括本文的主题。

　　【长难句解读】　Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards

　　Penang.显然，他们知道这列火车何时经过他们的家门，在火车驰骋前往Penang的路上，他们站在铁路沿线，为火车上的陌生人送去微笑，乐此不疲。

　　本句使用了what引导的宾语从句、and连接的并列句和as 引导的时间状语从句。
