　　Not many years ago,a wealthy and rather strange old man iamed Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England.He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries.When he was seventy-five,he gave 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children抯 playground.

　　As a result of his kindness many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk Johnson said that he was seventy-five awnd expected to live to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy—five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection(注射)in my neck each evening.”he told the newspaperman,thinking of his evening glass of whisky. The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain asking him for the secret of his daily injection.

　　56. Johnson became a rich man through _________.

　　The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” –-- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2008. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.

　　In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce(电子商务) first came into use.

　　Most “i” products are targeted at （针对）young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s“ i”, it’s no surprise that they抳e selected this fashionable name.

　　But it抯 hard to see what抯 so special about the letter 搃? Why not use 揳? 揵? or 揷?instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King抯 College, London, 搃?works because its meaning t’s no surprishas become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition（定义）,” he says.

　　“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.

　　Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.

　　Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade(十年).

　　But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.

　　61. People use iPlayer to __________.

　　A. listen to music

　　B. make a call

　　C. watch TV programs online

　　D. read newspapers

　　62. We can infer that the Independent抯 搃?is designed for _________.

　　A. young retheaders

　　B. old readers

　　C. fashionable women

　　D. engineers

　　63. The underlined word 揳mbiguous?means 揰_________?

　　A. popular

　　B. uncertain

　　C. clear

　　D. unique

　　64. Nowadays, the 搃?term often reminds people of the products which are _____young _____.

　　A. portable

　　B. environmentally friendly

　　C. advanced

　　D. recyclable

　　65. The writer suggests that __________.

　　A. 搃?products are often of high quality

　　B. iTeddy is alive bear

　　C. the letter 揵?replaces letter 搃?to name the produ___youcts

　　D. the popularity of 搃?products may not last long

　　C

　　We probably all know people, either at work or in our personal lives, who are really gooftd listeners. No matter what kind of situation we’re in, they always seem to know just what to say and how to say it so that we’re not offended(被冒犯) or upset. We probably also know people who are masters at managing their emotions(情绪). They don’t get angry in stressful situations. Instead, they have the ability to calmly look at a problem and find a solution. They take criticism(批评) well, and they know when to use it to improve their performance.

　　People like this have a high degree of emotional intelligence, or EI(情商). They know themselves very well, and they’re also able to sense the emotional needs of others.

　　As more and more people accept that emotional intelligence is just as important to professional success as technical(专业的) ability, companies are increasingly using EI when they hire and promote(提拔) someone. For example, one large cosmetics (化妆品) company recently changed their hiring process for salespeople to choose candidates(被选的人) based on emotional intelligence. The result? Salespeople hired with the new system have sold, on average, $91,000 more than salespeople selected under the old system.

　　Emotional intelligence is the ability to recognize your emotions, understand what they are telling you, and realize how your emotions affect people around you. Emotional intelligence also involves your perception (洞察力) of others: when you understand how they feel, this allows you to manage relationships more effectively.

　　People with high emotional intelligence are usually successful in most things they do. Why? Because they are the ones that others want on their team. When people with high EI send an email, it get answered. When they need help, they get it. Because they make others feel good, they go through life much more easily than people who are easily angered or upset.

　　The good news is that emotional intelligence can be taught and developed. Many books and tests are available to help you determine your current EI, and identify where you may need to do some work.

　　66. According to the passage, we抮e all probaebly impressed by people who _____.

　　A. are ready to help others

　　B. are very successful in their lives

　　C. have high emotional intelligence

　　D. know how to control their temper

　　67. By mentioning the cosmetics company, the author tries to _____.

　　A. stress the importance of emotional intelligence

　　B. speak highly of its new salespeople

　　C. show its effective hiring system

　　D. explain what improvements it has made

　　68. The underlined word 搕hey?in the fourth paragraph refers to 揰____?

　　A.to _ your emotions

　　B. people around you

　　C. effective relationships

　　D. your opinions of others

　　69. Which statement is TRUE about people with high EI?

　　A. They are usually good speakers.

　　B. They are born to be sensitive and intelligent.

　　C. They don抰 get angry in any situation.

　　D. They can understand others?feelings well.

　　70. What抯 most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?

　　C. Maentny books on emotional intelligence.

　　【范文】Dear Tom, How are you doing? I wonder if you could sell some Chinese knots for me. I made them myself with red still threads, cloths and other materials. They look really beautiful in the shape of a diamond, about 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. In China, these knots stand for friendship, love and good luck. People can either give them as gifts to friends or hang them in their houses. They are only 12.99 US dollars each. If anyone wants to know more about the knots, let them write to me. Also, do let me know if you need further information. Thank you!
