According to Peter Salovey, Yale psychologist and author of the term EQ, IQ gets you hired and EQ gets you promoted.
Salovey tells of a simple test. Some four-year-old kids were invited into a room and were given the following instruction: " You can have this marshmallow right now; or if you wait, you can have two marshmallows when I get back. " Then, the researcher left. Some kids grabbed for the treat as soon as the researcher was out the door, while others waited for the researcher to return. By the time the kids reached high school, significant differences appeared between the two groups. The kids who held out for two marshmallows were better adjusted, more popular, more adventurous, more confident, and more dependable than kids in the quick gratification group. The latter group was also more likely to be lonely, more easily frustrated, more stubborn, more likely to buckle under stress, and more likely to shy away from challenges. When both groups took scholastic aptitude tests, the "hold out group" walloped the "quick gratification group" by 210 points(the test scores range from a minimum of 200 points to a maximum of 800, with an average for all students of 500 points).
Researchers have been discussing whether it’ s possible to raise a person’ s IQ. Geneticists say No, while social scientists say Yes. But while brain power researchers continue the debate, social science researchers have concluded that it’ s possible to improve a person’ s EQ, and in particular, a person’ s "people skills, " such as empathy, graciousness, and the ability to "read" a social situation.
According to the social scientists, there is little doubt that people without sufficient EQ will have a hard time surviving in life. EQ is perhaps best observed in people described as either pessimists or optimists. Optimistic people have high EQ and treat obstacles as minor, while the pessimistic people have low EQ and personalizes all setbacks. In social research circles, EQ denotes one’ s ability to survive, and it’ s here that there may be an overlap between EQ, IQ, genetics and environment. As to that, I am reminded of the words of Darwin, "The biggest, the smartest, and the strongest are not the survivors. Rather, the survivors are the most adaptable. " Those of us who survive and thrive in this complex world are not only the most adaptable, but also the most optimistic and the most likely to have a high EQ.
From the text we can infer that______.
选项
A、it’ s universally accepted that it is possible to improve one’ s IQ
B、there is nothing in common between IQ and EQ
C、a person with high EQ is willing to take risks
D、a person with low EQ is likely to sympathize with other people
答案
C
解析
本题需要考生在通读全文的基础上进行判断。由第三段第一、二句“Researchers have been discussing whether it’s possible toraise a person’s IQ.Geneticists say No,while social scientists sayYes.(研究人员一直在讨论是否有可能提高一个人的智商。遗传学家说不可能,社会学家却说可能。)”可知,智商能否被提高,并没有一个统一的定论,所以,选项A不正确。由第四段第四句“In so-cial research circles,EQ denotes one’s ability to survive,and it’shere that there may be an overlap between EQ,IQ,genetics and en—vironment.(在社会研究界,情商指的是一个人的生存的能力,在这方面,它可能和智商,遗传学和环境有所重叠。)”可知,智商和情商有所重叠。所以,选项B不正确。由第二段第六句“…were betteradjusted,more popular,more adventurous…(…更能适应环境、更受欢迎、更具冒险精神…)”可知,情商高的人更具冒险精神,所以,选项C正确。通读第三段可知,同情是高情商的一个表现,所以,选项D不正确。所以,本题选择C。
